Silicon Photonics TD Process/Product Integration Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
Silicon Photonics TD Process/Product Integration Engineer
Role Summary
Join Intel's Silicon Photonics Process Development and Manufacturing (SPDM) team to drive fabrication process development, product integration, and yield and reliability qualification for next-generation optical interconnect products. The role serves as the primary fab contact for integrating silicon photonics products into the F11x fabrication process and leads cross-functional efforts across design, process engineering, yield, test, quality, and external assembly/test partners.
The position focuses on New Product Introduction (NPI), process flow definition, experimental characterization, yield optimization, and preparing products for production transfer.
Experience Level
Mid-level — requires 2+ years of relevant industry experience in semiconductor and/or silicon photonics process technology.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include process integration, characterization, and driving product readiness through qualification and production transfer.
- Collaborate with yield analysis, device and defect engineers, designers, and process engineers to ensure processes meet yield and reliability targets at product release.
- Define process flows, procedures, and equipment requirements for new devices and products; plan and execute experiments to characterize process behavior.
- Drive yield optimization and maintain NPI roadmaps through product life-cycle milestones, including Test/SORT/Burn-in capacity and capability planning.
- Act as primary fab technical lead for integrating customer roadmap products into the fabrication process and manage cross-functional technical coordination.
- Train production and receiving engineers for transfer to high-volume manufacturing and support reliability qualification activities.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.
- Minimum 2+ years experience in semiconductor and/or silicon photonics process technology.
- Minimum 2+ years experience in advanced data analysis and statistical methods (examples: JMP, GAJT, SQL), statistical process control (SPC), and design of experiments (DOE).
- Experience planning and executing process characterization experiments and driving yield improvement.
- Strong cross-functional communication and problem-solving skills; ability to work with device engineering, test, planning, quality, and external manufacturing partners.
- Preferred: 1+ year experience in optics, photonics, lasers, SiP, or III/V compound semiconductor technologies and prior process integration roles in silicon photonics or related semiconductor domains.
- Preferred: Good time management, self-motivation, and ability to learn quickly in a fast-paced environment.
Education Requirements
Master's or Ph.D. in Engineering (e.g., Chemical, Electrical, Materials) or Science disciplines such as Materials Science, Physics, Optics/Photonics. The posting indicates these degrees as minimum qualifications; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
