Fab Sort Manufacturing (FSM) is responsible for producing all Intel silicon using advanced manufacturing processes in facilities across Arizona, Ireland, Israel, and Oregon. In alignment with Intel's IDM2.0 strategy, FSM is expanding operations to meet the demands of both internal and foundry customers, introducing state-of-the-art technologies into high-volume manufacturing. Intel has established the HVM Global Yield organization within FSM to enhance yield operations and facilitate rapid yield ramp-up during early high-volume manufacturing phases, collaborating with the Technology Development team and FSM Fab managers.
This job requisition seeks Front-End-Of-Line (FEOL) Process Integration engineers for the HVM Global Yield organization, reporting to the FEOL Process Integration manager. Selected candidates will collaborate with FEOL integration members, Global Yield teams, fab modules, and TD team members to optimize processes and achieve yield ramp-up in the early production stage, supporting both internal and external customers.
FEOL (Front-End-Of-Line) Integration Development Engineers are responsible for:
Leading engineering projects to execute high-volume manufacturing (HVM) yield roadmaps and achieve performance targets.
Collaborating with Technology Development and Local Yield teams to implement new technologies in production fabs.
Working with FEOL/BEOL Integration, Device, Defect Reduction, and Yield Analysis teams to identify root causes of yield and performance issues and executing mitigation plans within set timelines.
Conducting feasibility studies and experiments to characterize processes and enhance product performance throughout development.
Managing New Product Introductions (NPI) in production fabs and optimizing processes to meet foundry customer specifications.
Partnering with Local Yield teams to improve product yield, quality, performance, and reduce wafer costs.
Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
