This role will be eligible for our hybrid work model which allows employees to split their time between working on-site at their assigned Intel site and off-site. Primary location: US, Oregon, Hillsboro. Additional locations: US, Arizona, Phoenix; US, California, Folsom; US, California, Santa Clara; US, Texas, Austin.

This position is not available in the state of Colorado. This position is not eligible for employment-based visa/immigration sponsorship. Intel sponsors individuals for employment-based visas for positions where we experience a shortage of U.S. workers. These skills shortage roles are typically STEM positions requiring a Master's or PhD degree, or a Bachelor's degree with at least three years of post-degree related job experience. This position does not qualify for Intel sponsorship because it is either a non-STEM position, or a STEM position that only requires a Bachelor's degree and less than three years' experience.
