Ocotillo Technology Fabrication Litho Resist Track Module Engineer

Role Overview

Join Intel and build a better tomorrow. Intel’s high‑volume manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona is looking for a skilled engineer to develop and deliver a robust manufacturable process module within the Ocotillo Technology Fabrication (OTF) module.

• Strong understanding of TEL CLEAN TRACK / LITHIUS Pro V coating‐develop track operation, including wafer flow, FOUP handling, transfer robotics, spin coat, develop, bake, chill, HMDS, E , backside rinse, and dispense modules.
• Working knowledge of lithography track processes such as resist coating, adhesion promotion, post‑apply bake, post‑exposure bake, development, defect control, CD/uniformity impacts, and process window sensitivity.
• Ability to troubleshoot tool and process issues using alarms, equipment logs, recipe settings, wafer history, SPC charts, metrology feedback, and defect/excursion data.
• Hands‑on experience with preventive maintenance, module recovery, nozzle/dispense checks, robot and wafer transfer issues, thermal module performance, exhaust/drain systems, and chemical delivery concerns.
• Familiarity with safety and compliance expectations, including chemical handling, LOTO, gas and liquid line controls, cleanroom protocol, and escalation discipline.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and align a team of senior engineers, set technical direction, prioritize critical issues, mentor others, and drive accountability for timely execution and measurable results.
• Experience working with chemical suppliers and managing supply and demand.
• Owns critical high‑volume manufacturing equipment and processes that enable rapid device miniaturization and the mass production of integrated circuits.
• Conducts tests and measurements of operations to ensure control over critical dimensions and defectivity of the process line.
• Recommends and implements equipment modifications to improve production efficiencies, manufacturing techniques, and production output, while meeting safety, quality, and cost indicator goals.
• Expands in‑situ manufacturing capacity to high volumes, demonstrating technology capability and transferring the technology to counterparts in other manufacturing sites worldwide.
• Owns execution of maintenance and repair activities for equipment and relevant module components.
• Initiates and owns continuous improvement of equipment and process for key performance indicator areas (safety, quality, cost, productivity, defects, yield) and works with equipment suppliers as required.
• Owns process development line items aligned to high‑volume process nodes.
• Participates in the transfer of technology to other sites through training and audit of installation and qualification outcomes to ensure matched processing across sites.
• Owns development and optimization of excursion prevention systems for equipment and process.
• Owns detection of discrepant material or activity in the equipment and process.
• During factory ramps, owns equipment installation, conversion, and qualification to ensure tools are installed safely and on schedule, while meeting all quality/matching criteria from design through Safety Level1 and Supplier milestones, Intel qualification, and manufacturing readiness processes.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical or related STEM field with 4+ years of experience, ORMaster’s degree with 3+ years of experience, ORPhD with 6+ months of experience.
• Semiconductor engineering experience and support of high‑volume manufacturing ramps and technology transfers.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in a semiconductor foundry or OSAT (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test) company.
• Experience in a semiconductor factory as a technician or engineer prior to an engineering role.
• Knowledge of statistics and experimental design and the ability to apply that knowledge for tool matching, tool qualification, and process development.
• Technical and troubleshooting experience.
