Your work will directly impact module-level performance, yield, reliability, and operational efficiency while helping shape Intel's future hybrid bonding technology roadmap.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive process and/or equipment manufacturing development for die-to-wafer hybrid bonding, including parameter optimization, equipment characterization, and process control.
• Develop and optimize manufacturing processes to improve yield, reliability, and defectivity performance.
• Improve bond interface quality, alignment performance, overlay accuracy, surface preparation, and contamination control.
• Design and execute DOE-based experiments and perform statistical analysis to establish robust process windows and control strategies.
• Lead first-of-a-kind (FOK) process and equipment capability development for new bonding platforms and technologies.
• Identify and implement process and equipment improvements to enhance manufacturing capability, efficiency, and output.
• Conduct process feasibility studies using characterization, modeling, simulation, and experimental methodologies.
• Partner with equipment suppliers and materials vendors to develop enabling process and hardware solutions.
• Collaborate with technology development, process integration, and manufacturing organizations to drive process maturity and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to future technology roadmaps through evaluation of emerging hybrid bonding technologies.

Behavioral Skills

• Demonstrated ability to solve complex technical problems using structured engineering methodologies.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical findings to diverse audiences.
• Ability to influence and collaborate across cross-functional teams in technology development and manufacturing environments.
• Proven ability to mentor and develop engineers and technical team members.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and drive results in a fast-paced environment.
