Experienced Laser Development Engineer (ATD)

Job Title

Experienced Laser Development Engineer (ATD)

Role Summary

Join Intel's Packaging Module Development team in Laser Assembly to design and develop laser-based packaging processes and related equipment. The role focuses on process development, manufacturability, and reliability to support next-generation semiconductor packaging technologies.

You will work with cross-functional teams and suppliers to define process specifications, drive qualification and standardization, and resolve process and equipment issues that affect quality, yield, and cost.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Typical experience expectations depend on degree: Bachelor's +4 years, Master's +3 years, PhD +6 months (per job minimums).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities center on developing and industrializing laser assembly packaging processes and ensuring they meet quality, reliability, cost, and yield targets.

• Design and develop laser assembly packaging processes and associated equipment.
• Optimize manufacturing processes for quality, reliability, yield, cost, and productivity.
• Develop process and equipment specifications using Design of Experiments (DOE) and data analysis.
• Manage end-to-end packaging process flows and manufacturability of physical layouts.
• Establish laser process specifications and work with suppliers to meet performance standards.
• Develop techniques and quality screens to detect packaging quality and reliability issues early.
• Define laser process reliability requirements informed by failure-mechanism analysis.
• Drive standardization in qualification procedures and manufacturing quality systems.
• Influence material selection, process design, and equipment development to meet product requirements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required to perform the role.

• Must-have: Proficiency in Statistical Process Control (SPC), Design of Experiments (DOE), and process characterization techniques.
• Must-have: Demonstrated experience applying engineering principles to develop laser solutions for manufacturing processes and equipment.
• Must-have: Strong analytical skills: data analysis, risk assessment, and structured problem solving.
• Must-have: Experience developing process and equipment specifications and using DOE to optimize processes.
• Nice-to-have: Hands-on experience in semiconductor packaging or technology manufacturing environments and troubleshooting laser-based equipment/systems.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with equipment adjustment, manufacturability assessments, and production troubleshooting in electronics assembly.
• Nice-to-have: Ability to apply data science/statistics tools (Python, NumPy/Pandas, SQL, JMP, Minitab) to large, complex datasets.
• Nice-to-have: Demonstrated ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and deliver results on time-sensitive projects.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related STEM field (with ~4+ years industry experience); OR Master's degree in those fields (with ~3+ years industry experience); OR PhD in Engineering, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related STEM field (with ~6 months+ industry experience). Qualifications may also be met through a mix of relevant industry experience, internships, coursework, or research.
