2024 Fall Recruiting Season: Front End of the Line Process Integration Engineer

Job Description

Fab Sort Manufacturing (FSM) is responsible for the production of all Intel silicon using some of the world's most advanced manufacturing processes in fabs in Arizona, Ireland, Israel, Oregon and 2 new greenfield sites in Ohio and Germany.

As part of Intel's strategy, FSM is rapidly expanding its operation to deliver output for both internal and foundry customers with state-of-the-art technologies arriving in High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM) at a 2-year cadence going forward.

Intel recently created HVM Global Yield organization in FSM to strengthen its yield operation and enable fast-paced yield ramp-up in early HVM phases for each technology in collaboration with Technology Development team and FSM fab managers.

This job requisition is to seek FEOL (Front-End-Of-Line) Process Integration Development engineering roles in FSM HVM Global Yield organization, reporting to FEOL Process Integration Engineering Development manager. Selected candidates will work with other members in FEOL integration, other teams in Global Yield org, fab module, yield, and TD team members to achieve yield ramp-up and process optimization in early production stage, supporting internal and external customers.

FEOL (Front-End-Of-Line) Integration Development engineers' responsibilities include (but not limited to):

• Performs feasibility studies and provides integrated process solutions to meet desired safety, quality, reliability and output requirements for ultimate transfer to high volume manufacturing.
• Selects and develops material and equipment for the process to meet quality, reliability, cost, yield, productivity and manufacturability requirements.
• Plans and conducts experiment to fully characterize the process throughout the development cycle and to improve performance for each specific product.
• Identifies integrated process solutions to resolve issues or specific requests from customers by partnering with innovators in product engineering and module engineering teams.
• Conducts new product qualification and technology transfers from fabrication operations. Leverages big data analysis to identify process design weaknesses and/or manufacturing tool issues and proposes corrective, data-based solutions.
• Collaborates and engages with development and material suppliers, and partners to develop processes and equipment needs to meet technology roadmaps
• Own engineering projects to execute HVM yield roadmap, device targeting and attain performance targets.
• Collaborate with Technology Development and Local Yield teams to import new technology to production fabs.
• Work with FEOL/BEOL Integration, Device, Defect Reduction and Yield Analysis team members to identify root cause of yield/performance issues and implement mitigation plan in defined timeline to meet committed production yield/performance targets and to support fast paced yield ramp-up in high-volume manufacturing phases.
• Own NPI (New Product Introduction) in production fabs and perform product-specific process optimizations to meet foundry customers specifications and requirements.
• Own engineering projects in partnership with Local Yield teams to improve product yield, quality, device performance and to reduce wafer cost.
• Engineering support for technical interactions with internal and external customers.

Intel invests in our people and offers a complete and competitive package of benefits employees and their families through every stage of life.
