About the Role
As a Yield Product Development Engineer, you will be at the forefront of advancing Intel's cutting-edge process technologies within our Manufacturing Development and Customer Engineering (MDCE) organization. This pivotal role involves identifying root cause yield limiters and driving solutions that enhance manufacturability and yield across technology nodes. You will work within a dynamic, fast-paced environment to ensure the successful introduction of new products, process improvements, and robust methodologies to meet manufacturing goals. Your expertise will directly contribute to Intel's ability to deliver world-class semiconductor solutions and advance the future of computing.
Your responsibilities as a Yield Product Development Engineer will include but not be limited to:
- Develop methods, processes, and systems to consolidate and analyze diverse big data sources for defect mode understanding and yield modeling.
- Perform statistical analysis, create visualizations, and construct process development roadmaps that drive technology yield milestones.
- Extract insights from structured and unstructured data using advanced statistics, machine learning, and coding techniques.
- Organize, interpret, and structure insights from fab process, defect, and electrical data while identifying anomalies to drive process changes for yield enhancement.
- Develop multivariate algorithms and tools to identify root cause yield limiters and recommend process changes for yield improvement.
- Collaborate with design teams to resolve yield issues, ensuring manufacturability across process and product specifications before ramping production.
- Execute new product introductions, enable design-technology co-optimization, and participate in design of experiments with factory task forces.
- Develop measurement recipes for rapid feedback on product integrity and address issues impacting yield or product quality.
- Create and harden systems capable of meeting operational needs for leading-edge logic nodes, working with equipment vendors and internal collaborators.
- Develop AI/ML applications and computational tools to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing, improve design efficiency, and reduce debug time.
- Document technical procedures, train colleagues, and debug equipment, software, and procedural failures in production environments when required.
