Reliability Lab TD Engineer - Logic device - JR0172755

Job Description
As the world's largest chip manufacturer, Intel strives to make every facet of semiconductor manufacturing state-of-the-art - From semiconductor device research, process development and manufacturing, through yield improvement, to final test and optimization, and lastly packaging. Employees in the Technology Development and Manufacturing and Operation groups are part of Intel's worldwide network of manufacturing and assembly/test facilities. Intel's aggressive technology development roadmap is requiring the development of the new transistor, interconnect, and memory array reliability stress systems. 
In this role, you will work closely with the Technology Development Quality and Reliability TD Q&R team to develop and implement new wafer and package level reliability test capabilities. Creating new ways to characterize the reliability of transistors, interconnects, memory cells/arrays, and other devices, enabling reliable data collection on current and future technology nodes
You will be joining the Reliability Labs TD RLTD team which is part of CQN Corporate Quality Network, Intel's Quality and Reliability organization. Reliability Lab Technology Development is a small professional and dedicated engineering team which works independently and in conjunction with TD Q&R and product development teams across Intel to develop and implement new reliability stress capabilities that are needed for the development and certification of Intel's most advanced process technologies. Our stress labs are located across Intel's various campuses in Hillsboro, OR, at the outskirts of Portland in the beautiful Pacific North West. 

The Reliability Lab TD Engineer will be responsible for but not limited to:
  • Supporting technology development of new reliability test systems and methods. Setting up proof-of-concept test benches, and supporting the development of those POCs to production-ready volume test solutions.
  • Integration of new hardware with custom automation software; contributing to the requirements definition and development of test programs.
  • The job is a lab position where you will install, use, and debug various electrical measurement tools such as parametric analyzers (e.g. Agilent 4156, Keithley 4200), SMUs, oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, etc.
  • Pulling data from a database and scripting the analysis of that reliability stress data. Engaging with and technically supporting semiconductor device reliability discussions around tester reliability data.
  • Additionally, scripting to automate repetitive data analysis, and a simple HW test will be required.
  • The Candidate will also need to learn the mechanical side of our lab Probers, package assembly line, hand tools, etc. Conducting mechanical tool install/debug/repairs that require physical activity will be a core part of the role.
  • Vendor engagement and collaboration toward test system development.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

  • Advanced communication skills and an aptitude to lead.
  • An aptitude to develop project management skills.
  • Demonstrated attention to detail and quality of work.
  • Demonstrated persistence and commitment to the task.
  • Willingness to communicate achieved results to a wide range of audiences.
  • Demonstrated creativity and innovation in solving technical problems.

Qualifications
You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Relevant experience can be obtained through school work, classes and project work, internships, military training, and/or work experience. This is an entry-level position and will be compensated accordingly.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  •  Minimum 6 months of experience with:

  • Semiconductor devices and device characterization.
  • Python, or other languages and programming IDEs e.g. C++, C#, or Visual Studio is acceptable.
  • Electrical characterization, measurement, and debug.
  • Writing software and scripts for test automation and visualization of data: measurement analysis, plotting, or measurement data statistical comparison. 

Preferred qualifications:
  • Familiarity with statistical analysis, and hypothesis testing.
  • Experience with JMP, JSL, and SQL. 
  • Knowledge of semiconductor fabrication process, test, assembly, memory architecture, or validation.
  • Knowledge of basic semiconductor reliability failure mechanisms e.g. hot-carrier, bias-temperature-instability, electromigration, etc.
