Job description

Job DetailsJob Description:
Join Intel and build a better tomorrow. Intel is in the midst of an exciting transformation, with a vision to create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on Earth.
Intel Foundry is increasing its investment in lithography metrology technology, implementing a new Win It Inline initiative using advanced real-time monitoring to improve yield learning cycles. Investing in inline metrology will give engineers more data throughout the manufacturing process, as opposed to waiting for end of the line data - a fundamental shift in how we leverage data to build chips.
The Ocotillo Technology Fabrication (OTF) Module Engineer role is multifaceted. The ideal candidate will have a passion for instrumentation and equipment with the goal of developing a robust manufacturable process module. As an OTF Module Engineer you will play an important role in the OTF engineering team.
You will be responsible for owning all aspects of one or more of the factory's 300mm toolsets. Your sustaining responsibilities will include the safety and cleanliness of your area and ensuring copy-exact for your toolset. You will also be expected to review the relevant control charts and tool output daily and ensure your toolset and layers remain excursion free. You will be responsible for delivering MOR availability and achieving 100 percent matching for all relevant operations. For new technology start-ups, you will be responsible for tool installations, conversions, qualifications, new product introduction, and sustained matching performance. You will be expected to drive continuous improvement in the health and matching of your toolset(s) by maintaining and driving an improvement roadmap. You will be responsible for leading your tools and area to achieve record tool availability, cycle time, and record low defect densities in support of OTFs factory goals.

Responsibilities

• Define roadmaps to meet requirements, goals and milestones for a new technology process.
• Defines and establishes flow, procedures, and equipment configuration for the module.
• Selects and develops material and equipment for the process to meet quality, yield, reliability, cost, productivity and manufacturability requirements.
• Plans and conducts experiments to fully characterize the process throughout the development cycle.
• Drives improvements on quality, yield, reliability, process stability/capability, productivity and safety/ergonomic over variables such as material, method, equipment, environment and operating personnel.
• Develops solutions to problems utilizing formal education, statistical knowledge, and problem-solving tools.
• Establishes process control systems for the process module and sustains the module through volume ramp.
• Trains production/receiving process engineers for transfer to other factories.
• Transfers process to high volume manufacturing and provide support in new factory start-up as well as install and qualification of the new production lines.
  

Position may require working on a day or night shift as an OSE (on-shift engineer) to support toolset needs and may require a flexible schedule.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in the STEM related field with 2+ years of Semiconductor or Metrology experience OR Master's degree in the STEM related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Semiconductor Foundry experience is a plus.
• Demonstrate strong technical and troubleshooting skills.
• Clean room experience.
• Experience in manufacturing environment.
• Experience in Litho functional area.
• Demonstrate exceptional customer orientation.
• Have a strong knowledge of statistics and experimental design; and the ability to apply that knowledge to tool matching, tool qualification, and process development.
• Demonstrate the ability to work across organizational boundaries including process engineering, integration and yield.
• Good communication skills with a high tolerance to ambiguous and changing situations
