Feol Integration Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Leixlip, Ireland

This role is for a Front-End-of-Line (FEOL) Integration Engineer in Intel's Manufacturing Development Customer Engineering (MDCE) organization. The engineer will lead projects to execute high-volume manufacturing (HVM) yield roadmaps, collaborate with technology development teams, identify root causes of yield and performance issues, and manage new product introductions in production fabs. The role requires experience in advanced node semiconductor industry, specifically in FEOL Process Integration, and proficiency in device physics.

What you'd actually do

  1. Leading engineering projects to execute high-volume manufacturing (HVM) yield roadmaps and achieve performance targets.
  2. Collaborating with Technology Development and Local Yield teams to implement new technologies in production fabs.
  3. Working with FEOL/BEOL Integration, Device, Defect Reduction, and Yield Analysis teams to identify root causes of yield and performance issues and executing mitigation plans within set timelines.
  4. Conducting feasibility studies and experiments to characterize processes and enhance product performance throughout development.
  5. Managing New Product Introductions (NPI) in production fabs and optimizing processes to meet foundry customer specifications.
