Join us and help create the next generation of technologies that will shape the future for decades to come.

As a Foundry Yield Process Integration Engineer, you may be responsible for but not limited to:

• Support process development, characterization, and optimization on foundry silicon technologies.
• Own design / yield / performance issues on customer content and drive for solutions through collaboration with Intel development teams.
• Own engineering projects to execute HVM yield roadmap, device targeting and attain performance targets.
• Work with FEOL/BEOL Integration, Device, Defect Reduction and Yield Analysis team members to identify root cause of yield/performance/reliability 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.
• Own engineering projects to improve product yield, quality, device performance and to reduce wafer cost.
• Provide Engineering support for technical interactions with internal and external customers.
• Interpret fab metrology, defect, E-test, and yield process data, silicon-to-simulation analysis versus variability targets, layout effects, design rule assessments, and product parametric correlation to electrical monitor structures to find innovative product/process solutions and optimize product yield and performance.
• Support developing business processes and systems to facilitate response to customer requests and issues for process technology development and manufacturing from customer technology evaluation through design and manufacturing.
• Drive implementation of foundry customer service best practices.
