Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and optimization of advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, including material selection, process parameter optimization, metrology strategies, equipment qualification, and system integration.
• Design and conduct experiments, feasibility studies, simulations, and characterization activities to evaluate process technologies, equipment capabilities, and material interactions.
• Drive technology development and process integration solutions that support both current high-volume manufacturing and future technology roadmap requirements.
• Define, develop, and validate integrated Module Target Specifications (MTS) to meet product performance, manufacturability, and reliability requirements.
• Develop and maintain integrated Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs), Control Plans, and change management processes to ensure manufacturing stability and quality excellence.
• Perform pathfinding activities for new process technologies, equipment, and hardware solutions that enable innovative device architectures and future product generations.
• Investigate manufacturing excursions, yield detractors, and process quality issues using data-driven and model-based problem-solving methodologies.
• Lead cross-functional teams in identifying root causes, implementing corrective actions, and driving sustainable process improvements that enhance line yield, electrical yield, and overall product performance.
• Champion the use of defect metrology, process control systems, and statistical analysis tools to continuously improve process capability and manufacturing output.
• Recommend, develop, and implement modifications to manufacturing equipment and operating procedures to improve efficiency, throughput, cost, and process performance.
• Support new product introductions by coordinating process readiness, documentation, tooling, equipment qualification, and manufacturing execution requirements.
• Serve as the primary interface between fabrication operations and internal or external stakeholders, ensuring effective communication and execution across multiple organizations and geographic locations.
• Track product progress through technology development, process setup, engineering builds, qualification, and production ramp to ensure milestone achievement and schedule adherence.
• Coordinate closely with process modules, materials development teams, silicon integration organizations, fabrication facilities, package assembly teams, suppliers, and external partners to address technical challenges, logistics, and supply chain requirements.
• Manage ATV build planning, forecasting, and execution to support development and manufacturing objectives.
• Partner with equipment and materials suppliers to develop, qualify, and implement enabling technologies that support current and future process requirements.
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging process technologies, advanced materials, and manufacturing innovations, while helping shape Intel's future technology roadmap through collaboration with the broader supplier and technology ecosystem.
• Drive the implementation of new manufacturing systems, methodologies, and best practices that support scalable, cost-effective, and high-volume production.
