Role Summary

AI-generated

This lab-based, on-site engineer role supports root-cause determination for assembled package yield loss and in-line failures within Intel Foundry's semiconductor manufacturing organization. The role performs analysis, testing, and characterization of assembly technologies to isolate electrical faults and identify mechanisms contributing to root-cause findings, working with technicians, engineers, module partners, yield support, integration, and program customers.

What You'll Do

  • Support root-cause determination of assembled package yield loss and in-line failures on the back-half-of-week shift
  • Perform design, test, checkout, modifications, and characterization of assembly technologies
  • Conduct hands-on lab work, define data acquisition strategies and data analysis plans, and recommend corrective actions or fixes
  • Develop failure-analysis techniques, best known criteria, and approaches to accelerate failure identification and mechanism understanding
  • Provide consultation on packaging and assembly problems and manufacturing-process improvements
  • Interface with internal teams and respond to customer requests or events to improve yield and support program deliverables

Job Description: 

This role will support root cause determination of assembled package yield loss and in-line failures on a back of week compressed shift. The engineer on shift will be responsible for technical functions such as design, test, checkout, modifications, and characterization of assembly technologies. Engineers on back/front of week shift schedules will help bridge support between shift engineering technicians, as well as shift 1 engineers and module partners, yield support, integration and program customers in a collaborative environment.

As part of this role, the engineer will help align program priorities, share and provide technical expertise regarding analysis results, and ensure an inclusive work environment. Engineers can expect to work collaboratively with additional engineers and engineering technicians to conduct analyses and engineering tests to accomplish fault isolation of electrical failures and perform defect and/or process characterization in support of identifying key mechanisms that contribute to RC identification.

Your main responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Working across team boundaries to achieve strategic objectives and meet program deliverables.

  • Understand and support program milestones and schedules.

  • Interface with a wide variety of internal teams to improve yield and drive innovation.

  • Conduct hands-on lab work, define data acquisition strategy and data analysis plan, and recommend corrective actions and/or fixes to internal customers.

  • Develop failure analysis innovative techniques, BKMs, and/or approaches to accelerate failure identification and mechanism understanding.

  • Provide consultation concerning packaging and/or assembly problems and improvements in the manufacturing process.

  • Respond to customers' requests or events as they occur.

  • Candidate should be capable of working effectively across organizational boundaries.

  • Candidate must exhibit the following traits/skills: Work with ambiguity and flexibility with respect to job roles and working hours, have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and possess robust communication and presentation skills.


This role is lab-based and on-site required.
