Technology Development Foundry Engineering – Staff Yield Engineer

About the role

As a Foundry Technology Development - Staff Yield Engineer, you will be at the forefront of Intel's collaborative journey with our foundry partners. Your expertise will be pivotal in guiding our customers through the intricate journey of product development, starting from testing and validation to New Product Introduction (NPI) phase to the High Volume Manufacturing (HVM).

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
• 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

Requirements

• 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

Qualifications

• Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position.
• Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
• 3+ years of semiconductor direct yield analysis and engineering experience
• 3+ direct experience in yield pareto, projection and yield roadmap construction
• 3+ years of experience within a foundry team, or foundry customer yield collaboration
• 3+ years of experience interpreting product data including inline, e-test and SORT data, finding failure root cause and inline indicator and driving for solutions
• Knowledge on inline inspection method, electrical test structures and SORT programs
• Exposure to fabless design house product development
• Foundry customer service experience and evidence of strong customer orientation.
