Foundry Yield Engineer - NPI & HVM Lead

Intel; Hillsboro (OR); Hybrid; USD 155,520 - 255,200; Full time

Job summary

Intel is seeking a Foundry Technology Development - Staff Yield Engineer in Hillsboro, OR, to lead yield engineering across the cycle from design to high-volume manufacturing. You will collaborate with IFS, TD, and Product Integration to define yield goals and roadmaps, identify detractors, and develop predictive yield models.

This role demands strong cross-functional interaction with TD, Device, and Lab teams in a hybrid work setting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering or other relevant engineering or physical science discipline with 6+ years of relevant work experience
• Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering or other relevant engineering or physical science with 4+ years of relevant work experience
• PhD Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering or other relevant engineering or physical science discipline with 2+ years of industry experience

Responsibilities

• Serve as the yield point of contact through the cycle of foundry product development, from design to initial High Volume Manufacturing (HVM).
• Define yield goal and roadmap for foundry customer silicon by collaborating with Intel Foundry Services (IFS), Technology Development (TD), and Product Integration.
• Collaborate with TD Process Integration, Device, Defect Metro, and Lab to identify yield detractors and yield enhancement opportunities, specifically for foundry customer silicon.
• Provide yield / defect density projection for different types of customer silicon, including test chips, shuttles, and products.
• Track inline process and non-process changes to incorporate the changepoints into yield prediction model.
• Develop yield models to identify potential parametric and defective loss components and support Process Integration, Device and Module teams to develop projects to eliminate systematic yield losses.
• Support yield analysis of logic, SRAM, and other types of devices on foundry customer silicon.
• Establish correlations between critical inline metrics and yield for better inline control and end of line projection.
• Engage side-by-side with Product Integration and Device teams in customer silicon execution, such as skew split planning and DOE.
• Lead investigations and root-causing on yield signals for foundry customer silicon.
• Identify opportunities to optimize foundry product development operational systems and methodologies to improve efficiency and standardization.
• Work as the technical interface between foundry and both internal stakeholders and external customers
