Job Description: 

Intel Chandler, Arizona Ocotillo Technology Fabrication (OTF) is part of Intel Foundry's Manufacturing and Supply Chain group (FMSC) and is responsible for the high-volume production of Intel silicon using some of the world's most advanced manufacturing processes. As part of Intel's Integrated Device Manufacturer 2.0 (IDM2.0) strategy with Foundry Capability, Intel Chandler, Arizona site is building new fabs for the latest technology nodes including Intel 18A and beyond. This exciting transformation at Intel needs talented candidates with Yield Failure Analysis experience in Foundry to service local and global customers.

Failure Analysis Engineers in the OTF Yield Department are critical to determining root cause for yield loss and building a strong yield improvement roadmap. OTF Yield is seeking individuals with strong work ethic, diverse background, and broad experience working hands-on with analysis tools to partner with Process and Yield engineers to solve problems.

In this role, the candidate will have the following responsibilities:

• Conduct failure analysis and root cause determination on the latest technologies and products in high-volume manufacturing at Intel.
• Generate yield improvement outcomes from the results of the analysis in partnership with Yield and Process engineering.
• Lead and direct the analysis through various modules of the failure analysis lab - from job submission to reporting the final results and executing corrective action.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Strong work ethic, ownership and drive to achieve results and positive yield/business impact.
• Skills to function in high-paced ambiguous environment under pressure to produce quality results quickly.
• Skills to learn rapidly and independently - either in the field of failure analysis techniques or in collaboration with the fab process modules and integrators.
• Skills to thrive in a diverse and highly technical team setting to solve problems.

Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Qualifications listed as preferred or additional will be considered a plus factor for applicants.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Candidate must possess a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or related STEM field of study with +5 years of related experience.
• 1+ years of relevant experience in:
  • Understanding and/or practical experience with semiconductor device physics and contemporary fabrication process technologies.
  • Understanding and/or practical experience with materials, surface and device characterization techniques supporting semiconductor science and manufacturing (such as SEM, TEM, EDX, SIMS, XPS, XRD, FTIR or Auger)
• Candidate must be willing to travel for training assignments to one of Intel's manufacturing development sites.
• US citizenship required
• Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or related STEM field with +3 years of related experience, or a Ph.D. in the previously mentioned areas.
