Job Description:

The Advanced Packaging Technology Development (APTD) Metrology Group at Intel sits at the heart of our most critical technology development and pathfinding programs. As packaging architectures grow increasingly complex, the role of metrology has evolved far beyond traditional inspection and measurement - it has become a strategic enabler of technology progress, yield learning, and program decision-making confidence.

We are seeking a Senior Module Development Engineer who combines deep hands‑on expertise in next‑generation metrology equipment with a broad, current awareness of where the semiconductor metrology industry is heading. The ideal candidate brings the technical credibility to work at the equipment level and the strategic clarity to translate industry knowledge into a forward‑looking roadmap that keeps our capabilities ahead of program demand.

This requires genuine engagement with the global metrology landscape - staying current with advances in measurement science, emerging equipment capabilities, and evolving industry standards - and applying that knowledge with sound judgment and determine which capabilities are worth pursuing and when.

This engineer will be embedded in our most advanced development and pathfinding programs from their earliest stages - ensuring that measurement strategies are defined, equipment is ready, and metrology coverage is in place before process flows are locked and before gaps can become program risks. A critical dimension of this role is the end‑to‑end qualification of new metrology equipment - taking ownership from initial tool installation and acceptance testing through process validation and full fab readiness - ensuring every new tool meets the performance and capability standards our programs require.

This engineer will also serve as a key technical resource for fab support, and ensuring the metrology tool fleet consistently operates at the highest level of performance and availability. The ability to move fluidly between strategic roadmap work and hands‑on fab problem solving is essential - and is what makes this role both uniquely challenging and uniquely rewarding.

This is a role that demands technical depth, industry awareness, and the ability to lead with influence across a wide range of partners - from process integration and module engineering to advanced process control, AI and automation, and senior program leadership. The ideal candidate resolves complex process challenges with the same confidence and credibility they bring to presenting a technology investment case to senior leadership.
