About The Position

As a Quality and Reliability Engineer (QRE) in Intel Foundry’s Foundry Quality, Reliability, and Labs (FQRL) organization, you will work with fab module engineers, process integration teams, and internal and external employees around the world. This is an on-site role based in Oregon and requires evening meetings most workdays. The Wafer Packaging Manufacturing (WPM) organization supports semiconductor wafer processing, testing, and die-to-wafer assembly, including Intel’s advanced packaging strategy. C4 (bumping) QREs cover critical process segments such as interposer, micro-logical, and package-side bumping. You will manage quality issues, assess risk related to suspect or non-conforming material, support downstream partners with excursions and investigations, and drive improvements in quality and reliability. The role also supports certification and ramp of new technologies and includes 24x7 on-call response as part of an engineering rotation. The position calls for strong technical judgment, cross-functional collaboration, communication, planning, and the ability to work under pressure in a changing environment.

Requirements

Master's degree in a specialized field such as Engineering, Science, or a related discipline.
At least 6 months of experience or applicable background in knowledge of manufacturing processes, semiconductor fabrication, and quality assessment methodologies.
At least 6 months of experience or applicable background with excursion management, reliability fundamentals, or problem-solving techniques.
At least 6 months of experience or applicable background in statistical analysis techniques and tools such as JMP or Minitab.
Strong communication and collaboration skills for working effectively across cross-functional teams.
Organizational and planning skills for engineering projects.
Ability to work under pressure in a dynamic environment.
