Key Responsibilities

• Process & Equipment Qualification: Develop, optimize, and qualify advanced packaging assembly processes, materials, and hardware configurations to meet yield, reliability, and cost requirements.
• Equipment Integration: Manage first-time process integration and equipment selection, with a focus on dispense, mold, and/or cure technologies.
• Reliability Simulation & Testing: Develop and maintain systems to evaluate silicon and packaging technologies under simulated field-use conditions, such as heat, humidity, temperature cycling, and dynamic forces.
• Statistical Process Control: Lead efforts to design experiments (DOE), apply statistical methods (SPC), and analyze manufacturing data to define process windows and continuously optimize productivity.
• Supplier & Vendor Management: Establish raw material and tooling specifications, and partner with contract assemblers, material vendors, procurement, and supplier quality teams to ensure vendor performance.
• Data-Driven Problem Solving: Create new techniques, quality screens, and acceleration methods to ensure the early identification of quality and reliability risks based on failure mechanisms.
• Factory Standardization: Drive global standardization of product qualifications, manufacturing quality systems, equipment configurations, and process flows across multiple Intel manufacturing sites.
• Technical Documentation: Author detailed technical reports, process specifications, qualification logs, and technical white papers to support technology transfers.

As a Successful Candidate, You Will Bring

• Structured Technical Leadership: Strong leadership skills to guide cross-functional teams, influence design partners, and manage complex, time-sensitive technical projects.
• Strong Strategic Influencing: Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to consult on packaging improvements and collaborate across diverse matrixed organizations.
• Analytical Problem Solving: Deep analytical mindset with a passion for diagnosing complex hardware and process-related challenges.
• Action-Oriented Decision Making: Driven self-starter focused on achieving results, with the agility to adapt to new methods, tools, and fields of study.
