Product Development Engineer

Job Title

Product Development Engineer

Role Summary

This role sits in Logic Technology Development (Intel Foundry) in the Parametric Test (ETest) area. The engineer will develop and validate electrical/parametric test programs and methods to characterize devices and interconnects, produce key technology performance metrics, and support wafer disposition and high-volume testing.

Experience Level

Entry-level. Typical candidates are early-career engineers or recent graduates with relevant hands-on experience (typically 0–3 years).

Responsibilities

Primary duties focus on creating, validating, and improving electrical test programs and supporting their deployment in production.

• Define test content and develop parametric test programs for discrete structures used to measure MOS, ROS, interconnects, and parasitics.
• Validate test designs and analyze results to produce technology performance metrics (PDK, CPK).
• Develop or improve testing methods, automation, and data-collection systems to increase throughput and quality.
• Work with device, quality, operations, and module engineers to scale tests to high-volume systems and meet factory capacity constraints.
• Support wafer disposition decisions and cross-factory test requirements for foundry products.

Requirements

Concise list of must-have skills and preferred skills for the role.

• Must-have: Hands-on experience designing or measuring electrical circuits or devices; instrument design; device physics; or automating electrical data collection. Practical experience with semiconductor parametric analyzers is required.
• Ability to analyze electrical test data and work with cross-functional teams (device, quality, operations, factory) to implement test solutions.
• Preferred / Nice-to-have: Experience with high-volume parametric testers (e.g., 4080 or V93K), design-for-test experience, and scripting or development skills in Linux, C/C++, or Python.

Education Requirements

PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 6+ months of relevant experience, OR a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience. Relevant experience may be obtained through industry work, internships, coursework, or research.
