Job summary

Intel is seeking a Staff Yield Engineer in its LTD organization to lead yield activities across design, testing, and high-volume manufacturing for customer silicon. You will partner with IFS, TD, and Product Integration to set yield goals and drive improvements.

The role emphasizes modeling, defect analysis, and collaboration with multiple teams to optimize foundry product development and deployment. Hybrid work is available in Hillsboro, OR and other locations.

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.
