Intel Defect Reduction Manager in Annapolis, Maryland
Job Description
Fab Sort Manufacturing (FSM) is responsible for the production of all Intel silicon using some of the world's most advanced manufacturing processes in fabs in Arizona, Ireland, Israel, Oregon and 2 new greenfield sites in Ohio and Germany. As part of Intel's IDM2.0 strategy, FSM is rapidly expanding its operation to deliver output for both internal and foundry customers with state-of-the-art technologies arriving in high-volume manufacturing at a 2-year cadence going forward. Intel recently created HVM Global Yield organization in FSM to strengthen its yield operation and enable fast-paced yield ramp-up in early HVM phases for each technology in collaboration with Technology Development team and FSM fab managers.
This job requisition is to seek Defect Reduction team manager in FSM HVM Global Yield organization, reporting to Director of Defect Engineering. The selected candidate will build and lead a team in HVM Global Yield organization and work with other leaders in the org, fab module/yield managers and TD leaders to support yield ramp-up and process optimization in early production stage, supporting internal and external customers.
Defect Reduction team manager responsibilities include (but not limited to):
Build and lead Defect Reduction team in FSM HVM Global Yield organization to execute HVM yield roadmap.
Collaborate with Technology Development team and Process Integration team to import and setup new technology to production fabs across the globe.
Work with Process Integration teams, Yield Analysis team and FSM Yield managers to lead fast paced yield ramp-up in high-volume manufacturing phases
Identify systematic defect issues and drive mitigation actions in defined timeline to meet committed production yield targets.
Identify critical yield limiting defect steps and work with Defect Control team to set production line inspection strategy to protect yield and quality at maximum productivity and lowest cost.
Lead technical interactions with internal and external customers.
Candidate should possess the following behavioral skills:
Problem-solving and project/program management experience with strong self-initiative and self-learning capabilities
Demonstrated interpersonal skills to perform at leadership role including influencing, engaging, and motivating

Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in engineering or science area.
8+ years of experience in advanced node semiconductor industry in Defect engineering or Failure analysis.
3+ years of people leadership experience to manage and direct an organization of 10+ process/defect engineers in fast-paced high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment to drive yield, technology, quality, output and cost.
Strong understanding on defect mechanism and yield impact in semiconductor high-volume production and 5+years' experience in driving down D0.
3+ years' experience in working with Process Integration, Design and OPC teams to identify layout-sensitive defect weak points and address systematic defect issues.
2+ years' experience of module tool impacts to defects, inline parametrics and yield through PM life while understanding upstream and downstream impacts to other tools
3+ years' experience in FinFET technology development or high-volume manufacturing with hands-on knowledge of FinFET technology process flow to analyze systematic defect sources and set mitigation actions.
2+ years' experience in collaboration with module processes including lithography, dry etch, wet etch, CMP, diffusion, implant, thin films or metrology. Skills to develop improvement projects at module level to improve process for reduced defectivity and improved yield.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master's or Ph.D. degree in Physics or Materials Science major.
Experience in serving external Foundry customers through technical interactions.
Experience in GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology architecture and understanding on GAA-specific defect issues.
Experience in new semiconductor technology development.
