Job Description:

As a Customer Yield Engineer based in Taiwan within Intel Foundry Customer Engineering, you will function as yield interface for assigned foundry customers in Taiwan, providing close, direct yield support. The role serves as a critical local extension of Intel's Customer Engineering organization, ensuring fast execution and clear communication across regions. You will work in close alignment with the Yield DRI and cross-functional factory teams in Intel FAB, supporting yield analysis, data driven issue assessment and recovery actions across technology development, manufacturing ramp, and high-volume production. In parallel, you will manage and support OSAT activities for Intel-owned engineering (ENG) material, ensuring yield integrity, rapid learning cycles, and alignment between FAB and OSAT. This position requires deep technical expertise in yield and process engineering, strong data-driven critical thinking skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with customers, suppliers, and global internal teams. Key Responsibilities • Function as the Taiwan-based point of contact for customer yield, providing day-to-day yield engagement and follow-up with Intel Foundry Customers. • Work in close partnership with the Yield DRI and factory teams in Intel Foundry FAB to align on root cause, recovery plans, and execution priorities. • Manage and support OSAT yield activities for Intel-owned ENG material, including yield monitoring, WIP management and ENG debug activities. • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (device, integration, yield, lithography, etch, thin films, test) to maintain process stability and deliver technical solutions. • Identify process weaknesses and manufacturing tool issues using big data, statistical analysis, and advanced analytical methods. • Proactively identify yield risk, variability, and systemic trends, escalating issues with clear impact assessment and recommended actions. • Communicate yield status, risks, and recovery plans clearly to both technical teams and customer management when necessary. Technical Scope • Yield, defect, and parametric data analysis, including data extraction, validation, statistical analysis, and visualization. • 300mm advanced logic wafer fabrication processes and yield behavior across development, ramp, and production. • Assembly and test fundamentals, OSAT process flows, and fab-to-OSAT yield interfaces. • Design-for-test concepts, fault isolation, and yield learning loops. • Semiconductor device physics, materials, and electrical performance.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Materials Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or a related scientific field. • Proficient in both English and Mandarin (written and verbal) to support customer, OSAT, and global factory interactions. • 3 to 5 years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, foundry, or yield engineering roles. • Strong analytical skills with direct participation and strong ownership. • Good and open communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional and cross-cultural teams. Preferred Qualifications • Experience supporting advanced logic technologies in high-volume manufacturing environments. • Experience in collaborating directly with customers and external manufacturing partners (OSATs). • Demonstrated ability to drive yield improvement through structured experimentation and data-driven decision-making. • Experience operating across global FAB and time zones.
