Senior Process Integration Development Engineer

About the Role

Manufacturing Development Customer Engineering (MDCE) is Intel's newest organization within Intel Foundry Technology Manufacturing (FTM). We bridge the critical gap between Technology Development (TD) and High Volume Manufacturing (HVM), advancing technology nodes from initial product qualification to high-yield production across multiple products while enhancing technologies for our foundry customers. MDCE is also chartered to develop new technologies on mature node infrastructure to bring new solutions to new customers at reliable yield and performance and low cost.

As a Senior Process Integration Development Engineer, you will be instrumental in Intel's mission to develop new semiconductor capabilities and seamlessly transition these technologies from development to high-volume manufacturing (HVM). Your contributions will directly impact the delivery of high-performing, cost-efficient, and reliable silicon solutions that power Intel foundry customer products while meeting diverse foundry customer requirements. You will collaborate with Intel foundry partners, leverage industry-leading tools, and tackle complex engineering challenges that advance Intel's IDM 2.0 strategy.
