Principal Device 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 the 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 position is for a Principal Engineer in the Device Integration team in the FSM HVM Global Yield organization, reporting to the Director of Device Integration Engineering. The selected candidate will own multiple projects in Device Engineering and will lead cross-organizational Task Force Teams, including but not limited to new device characterization, customization and productization, supporting internal and external customers.

The Principal Device Integration Engineer's responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
* Own engineering projects to execute HVM yield roadmap, device targeting and attain performance targets.
* Collaborate with Technology Development team to develop new device technology, customize device architecture per customer request and import to production fabs.
* Lead a cross-organizational team of engineers to identify root cause of device-related yield/performance issues and define mitigation plan to meet committed production yield/performance targets.
* Lead a group of device engineers to improve and maintain device performance in an HVM environment.
* Own New Product Introduction (NPI) in production fabs and perform device-related process optimization to meet foundry customers product specifications and requirements.
* Develop a model to predict device performance accurately in early-to-mid stage of Si progression and drive systematic solution to maintain baseline device performance.
* Work with Process Integration engineers to drive process simplification and implement cost reduction engineering opportunities in line.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or Materials Science major. Other related science and engineering degrees can be considered based on industry experience.
* 12+ years of engineering experience in advanced node semiconductor industry in Device Integration engineering.
* Experience in FinFET technology development or high-volume manufacturing.
* Working knowledge in module processes including lithography, dry etch, wet etch, CMP, diffusion, implant, thin films and metrology.
* Hands-on experience in serving external Foundry customers through technical interactions.
* Problem-solving and project/program management experience with strong self-initiative and self-learning capabilities.
* Proven track record of working across organizations through matrix structures to accomplish strategic objectives with conflicting priorities.
* Must demonstrate strong communication skills.
* Hands-on experience in new semiconductor technology development is strongly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications:
* Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or Materials Science major.
* Experience in project/program management and/or Task Force Team lead.
* Experience in GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology architecture.
