Yield Development Engineer

Job Details:

Job Description:

At Intel, the Foundry Technology Development (TD) unit is the driving force behind Moore's Law, enabling us to create groundbreaking technology that enriches lives globally. With over 15,000 dedicated employees, Foundry TD spearheads innovative research, develops next-generation processes and packaging technologies, and manages high-volume manufacturing in state-of-the-art facilities.

Within Intel Foundry TD, our Logic Technology Development (LTD) organization is at the forefront of creating and refining each process technology node, paving the way for tomorrow's computing solutions.

The LTD organization is seeking a Yield Development Engineer who is passionate, innovative, and results-oriented with experience in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and systems. The individual will be expected to develop, implement, optimize, maintain, and document procedures for design database analysis supporting metrology equipment used for development and manufacturing for foundry customers. The engineer will work closely with equipment development, operations, automation, and computational and modeling technology collaborators to provide quality end-to-end foundry solutions.

The candidate should be excited to work in a fast-paced environment where flexibility and adaptability is key to their success. Ability to learn rapidly in a complex and rapidly changing environment and to communicate effectively with co-workers and across teams is a must.

About the Role: As a Yield Development Engineer with factory equipment focus, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our technology and foundry capabilities. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Develops tools, multivariate algorithms, and methodologies to perform high volume data analysis to identify root cause yield limiters and identify key process changes to advance yield improvement.
• Develops measurement recipes to provide quick and accurate feedback on product integrity, helping resolve issues with yield or product quality impact.
• Develops and hardens equipment capable of meeting operational and capability needs for leading edge logic node including close work with equipment vendors and internal collaborators.
• Develops methods, processes, and systems to consolidate and analyze diverse big data sources, establishing optimal methodologies for defect mode understanding and yield modeling, leading to accurate yield Pareto construction and process roadmap definition.
• Organizes, interprets, and structures insights from fab process, defect, and electrical data and detects data anomalies and drives process changes for yield enhancement.
• Extracts insights from structured and unstructured data by quickly synthesizing large volumes of data, and applying statistics, machine learning and coding techniques.
• Develops systems to transform complex experimental and manufacturing data into yield improvement actions using knowledge of product design and test features.
• Ensures manufacturability over process and product design through thorough analysis of process and spec corners and works with design to resolve yield issues before manufacturing ramp.
• Executes new product introductions, enables design technology co-optimization, and participates in design of experiments in factory task forces.
• Develop computational tools and AI/ML applications that improve patterning solutions, decrease process debug time, improve design efficiency, and bridge the gap between design and manufacturing.
• Work will span solution exploration, technical design, implementation, deployment in a production environment, and maintenance of the deployed solutions.
• Create innovative solutions to problems, collaborate with internal teams to ensure data integrity, implement custom algorithms to perform feature engineering, develop efficient software solutions that meet computing constraints, and ensure code quality to enable deployment in a production environment.
• Technically document and train collaborators on methods and best practices developed.
• Debug equipment, software, and procedural anomalies in the production environment which occasionally may require off hour urgent support.

Join us and transform technology to create a better future. At Intel, we foster a collaborative, supportive, and dynamic environment where the brightest minds come together to achieve exceptional results.

We offer:
• Competitive salaries and financial benefits, including bonuses, life and disability insurance, and opportunities to purchase Intel stock at a discounted rate.
• Comprehensive benefits that promote a healthy, enjoyable life, including excellent medical plans, wellness programs, time off, recreational activities, and discounts on various products and services.
• A commitment to creating a more connected and intelligent future, with opportunities to make a global impact.
