NM Litho Track Development Engineer

at  Intel

JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Photo Lithography Track Engineer, you’ll be part of Intel’s High-Volume Manufacturing (HVM) fabrication process team that is driving innovation for the next generation of silicon products. You will play a critical role in the manufacturing and development of silicon bridge, silicon photonics, and advanced packaging processes, yield improvements, and HVM solutions. Partner with Process Integrators to develop recipes for new product demands.
Experienced Module Development Engineer capable of developing processes to meet the needs of next generation semiconductor devices in Silicon Photonics, EMIB, and/or Advanced packaging technologies. Defines and implements new processes and/or improves existing processes to meet process technology needs. Technical owner of characterization data methodology, analysis techniques, and recipe setup for quality control to optimize yield. Defines and implements project road maps, quality control (defects), failure analysis, and testing methodologies to meet customer demands.
Module Development Engineers are responsible for leading process development research enabling manufacture of innovative device architectures coupled with the realization of these architectures. They will design, execute, and analyze experiments necessary to meet design specifications for their process.
Participate in development of intellectual property and develop the equipment necessary to exploit the understanding gained in research (in collaboration with equipment suppliers). Work effectively with the equipment supplier to identify shortcomings, propose, and evaluate hardware modification to mitigate issues. They will be expected to partner with area engineers, technicians, integration, SGL (Shift Group Leader), and management in order to enable development commitments for their aligned tech node.
Work to gain in-depth knowledge of their materials, process, and equipment to meet quality, reliability, cost, yields, and product development timelines. Define HVM transfer deliverables for their module. Partner with Process Integrators to develop recipes for new product demands.

As the Photo Lithography Track Engineer, you will be responsible for but not limited to:

• BKM (best known method) writing/documentation: ex. preventative maintenance procedures, error recoveries.
• Processing techniques, materials, and metrology relevant to discipline of specialty.
• Development of novel (new) process recipes.
• Drive improvements on quality, reliability, cost, yield, process stability/capability, productivity and safety/ergonomic over variables such as material, method, equipment, environment, and operating personnel.
• Define and establish flow, procedures, and equipment configuration for the module.
• Train production/receiving process engineers, engineering, and manufacturing technicians for transfer to other factories.
• Transfer process to high volume manufacturing and provide support in new factory startup as well as install and qualification of the new production lines.
• Experience in data analysis and statistical process control.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Have good time management skills, is self-motivated, and have strong desire to succeed in a fast-paced and challenging environment.
• Resourceful and have strong problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated strong team dynamics, 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, sense of urgency and commitment to achieve targeted goals.
• Demonstrated capability working in a high performing team culture which includes excellent teamwork and leadership skills.
• Demonstrated problem solving and prioritization skills and participating in Continuous Improvements through applying LEAN principles.
• Willingness to work independently with limited direction, as well as in a team environment across functional and organizational boundaries is required.

Relocation assistance provided.
