NM DMO Defect Metrology Engineering

Job Description

As a Defect Metrology Engineer, you'll be a member of Intel's High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM) fabrication process team, which drives innovation for the next generation of silicon products. You will play a critical role in manufacturing and developing silicon bridges, silicon photonics, advanced packaging processes, yield improvements, and HVM solutions.

Metrology Engineers are responsible for leading the development of measurement technology solutions for process development research, tools, methodologies, and procedures enabling cost-effective defect monitoring solutions for device manufacturing. They will coordinate metrology equipment selection, installation, qualification, design, as well as execute and analyze experiments necessary to meet design specifications and equipment troubleshooting.

They participate in developing intellectual property and develop the equipment necessary to exploit the understanding gained in research (in collaboration with equipment suppliers). They work effectively with the equipment supplier to identify shortcomings and propose and evaluate hardware modifications to mitigate issues. They will be expected to partner with area engineers, technicians, integration, SGL (Shift Group Leader), and management to enable development and production commitments.

As the Defect Metrology Engineer, you will be responsible for but not limited to:

• Own assigned metrology equipment fleet, including the fleet qualification, troubleshooting, sustaining engineering, and configuration control with change control process.
• Develop BKM (best-known method) for equipment operation, preventative maintenance procedures, and error recoveries to maximize equipment availability and fab manufacturing operational compliance.
• Development of novel (new) metrology recipes.
• Drive improvements in quality, reliability, cost, yield, process stability/capability, productivity, and safety/ergonomics over variables such as material, method, equipment, environment, and operating personnel.
• Train production/receiving process engineers, engineering, and manufacturing technicians for transfer to other factories.
• Transfer process to high volume manufacturing and support new factory startup and installation and qualification of the latest production lines.
• Experience in data analysis and statistical process control.
• Work frequently with internal and external customers.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Good time management skills, self-motivated, and strong desire to succeed in a fast-paced and challenging environment.
• Resourceful and have strong problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated strong team dynamics skills, which includes excellent teamwork and leadership skills, and able to work through complex issues with a diverse team.
• Strong written and verbal communication. Ability to communicate well with all levels of the organization.
• Detail-oriented problem solver with a sense of urgency and commitment to achieve targeted goals.
• Demonstrated strategic planning, project management and project prioritization skills and participated in Continuous Improvements by applying LEAN principles.
• Willingness to work independently with limited direction and in a team environment, across functional and organizational boundaries.
• Demonstrated experience in working with external and internal partners.

This is a full-time onsite position. Hybrid "work from home" is to be defined by the manager and employee, but continued onsite work will be required

Relocation assistance provided.
