Senior Foundry Device Engineer

About The Organization

The Manufacturing Development and Customer Engineering (MDCE) is a new organization in Intel and part of Intel Foundry Technology Manufacturing (FTM). Our mission is to effectively bridge the transition from Technology Development (TD) to High Volume Manufacturing (HVM), taking a technology node from 1st product PRQ to high yields across multiple products, and to enhance the technology for our customers. Intel Chandler, Arizona site is building new fabs for the latest technology nodes including Intel 18A and beyond. Also development of legacy technology with a foundry partner is in progress and will launch HVM to serve multiple global foundry customers. This exciting transformation at Intel needs talented candidates with Device engineering experience in Foundry to service local and global customers.
