Job Description:

This is an exceptionally exciting moment to enter the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Global demand for advanced computing-driven by AI, automation, cloud infrastructure, and digital transformation-is fueling the largest period of growth and reinvestment the sector has seen in decades. Semiconductors are now recognized as critical to economic resilience, national security, and technological leadership leading to unprecedented expansion in manufacturing capacity and innovation. For professionals in the field, this translates to rare opportunities to shape breakthrough technologies, contribute to globally significant projects, and be part of arguably the most rapidly evolving and impactful industry ever. Intel's Global Construction Engineering (GCE) organization is responsible for the design and engineering of Intel's major manufacturing and cleanroom facilities worldwide. Our organization consists of highly specialized, in house architects and engineers working in a deeply collaborative environment. Together with our factory, operations, and supply chain partners, we deliver some of the most technically complex construction programs in the industry-projects that demand precision, speed, and disciplined cost management. Our vision is to be the world leader in semiconductor foundry construction engineering, and we are expanding our team to support the acceleration of Intel Foundry's manufacturing roadmap. We are seeking exceptional, technical talent to join our organization that thrive in a fast paced environment that enjoys working with leading edge technology, and is motivated by opportunities to innovate and make meaningful business impact. Within GCE, the Tool Install Central Engineering group is a highly technical organization responsible for the design and execution of all semiconductor fabrication tool installations across Intel's global network. We complete thousands of tool install designs annually, leveraging standardization, continuous improvement, and robust metrics to ensure system health and operational excellence. Joining our team means being part of a global network of construction, design, and manufacturing experts who set the standard for semiconductor facility delivery. Our Design Integration Leads are highly valued leaders who guide the facility planning of our construction programs. You will manage Intel's mechanical and electrical utility distribution capacity all around the globe and integrate design between base build facility design and tool install design. We ensure adequate utility capacity is available to support the factory tooling requirements and drive facility construction scope where needed to meet the tool install schedule. You will have the opportunity to support design integration at many of Intel's manufacturing sites (Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Israel, Malaysia and Ireland) and proliferate systems and processes across the virtual factory. This is a hybrid role with location options at Intel's Ocotillo, AZ, Hillsboro, OR, or Rio Rancho, NM campuses. Role Responsibilities As a Design Integration Lead, you will serve as the subject matter expert for the facility planning and will lead all aspects of integrating utility requirements for our tool install program, including: Program Leadership • Own end to end execution of the tool install facility planning program. • Manage external AE (Architectural and Engineering) supplier teams including managing budget, resourcing, and performance. • Oversee processes, standards, and execution quality. • Drive the introduction and use of new optimization and AI platforms to improve schedule and cost savings. Technical Expertise • Deep understanding of facility systems and manufacturing equipment requirements. • Executes facility point of connection assignments and capacity database administration for all semiconductor equipment installed in our facilities. • Perform facility gap analysis to assess facility capacity to install new tooling, including: system scoping, optimization, and value engineering. • Drive schedule integration to ensure new system capacity in place to meet tool install schedule needs. • Perform feasibility studies to inform corporate strategic roadmap decisions. • Technical engineering problem solving to resolve facility capacity constraints. Operational and Partner Management • Own workload planning and coordinate with AE firms to optimize efficiency, predictability, and alignment with customer priorities. • Partner with industrial engineering teams to influence tool locations to minimize facility scope and schedule. • Collaborate with facility system owners to ensure adequate capacity for manufacturing equipment. • Coordinate with tool owner and design teams to drive accuracy of equipment requirements. • Serve as the primary escalation point for design suppliers, factory customers, and construction teams. • Build and sustain strong customer relationships, ensuring commitments are met. • Ensure GCE remains the design partner of choice for our factory customers. Process Excellence and Innovation • Define, track, and interpret metrics to assess project and process health. • Lead incremental and project to project improvements across the design ecosystem. • Pilot and refine innovations in collaboration with partners across the enterprise. Safety Leadership • Champion a culture of safety and caring across all environments-from offices to construction sites, and from front end planning through execution. The successful candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits: Behavioral Traits • Strong written, visual, and verbal communication skills. • Ability to influence in a highly matrixed, cross functional environment. • Willingness to collaborate across engineering disciplines, organizations, and global teams. • Strong orientation toward teamwork, customer service, and quality. • Organized, detail oriented, and excellent problem-solving skill. • Commitment to upholding and advocating for Intel's safety culture of care.
