Substrate Supplier Enablement Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Arizona, Phoenix, United States

This role focuses on enabling new manufacturing capacity for advanced packaging suppliers by leading substrate supplier development and qualification activities. The engineer will drive technical enablement, manage readiness milestones, and collaborate with cross-functional teams and suppliers on various substrate technologies and processes.

What you'd actually do

  1. Collaborate with suppliers and internal engineering teams to develop robust building block processes across component embedding, core fabrication, laser drilling, dielectric lamination, lithography, electrolytic multi metal plating, defect inspection/metrology, electrical testing, and other substrate technologies.
  2. Partner closely with on site supplier engineering teams and the APTD Substrate Integration team to advance substrate building block technologies and manage critical process interactions.
  3. Ensure suppliers meet all Product Control System (PCS) commitments with rigor and consistency.
  4. Work with cross functional teams to design and implement new factory technology validation and product certification plans focused on yield improvement.
  5. Develop and maintain detailed micro schedules for new factory startup activities, including key milestones, to ensure supplier alignment with startup timelines.
