Job Description:

The Role and Impact:
We are seeking a Manufacturing Quality and Reliability Engineer to join the Foundry QnR team at our Penang site, supporting Intel's advanced packaging programs (EMIB, Foveros).

This role spans silicon processing and wafer-level assembly (WLA) flows, and key interfaces with packaging substrates and 2.5D EMIB technology. You will help ensure that products and processes meet rigorous quality and reliability standards from wafer fabrication through packaging and assembly. The position directly influences manufacturing performance, yield, reliability, and customer satisfaction by driving robust quality control, disciplined excursion management, and continuous process improvement. You will also have the opportunity to represent Quality and Reliability in development forums, Silicon and Advanced Packaging factory operations, and Substrate suppliers.

Key Responsibilities

Apply Advanced Packaging expertise to assess inline process health, excursion impact, yield risk, defect mechanisms, and downstream packaging implications.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive effective root cause analysis, systemic corrective and prevention actions using 8D and related problem-solving methodologies.
Partner with fab manufacturing, substrates assembly, test, process engineering, and quality teams to strengthen early excursion detection, process controls, in-line screens, and outgoing quality.
Drive quality control improvements devising incoming/ outgoing quality controls, using statistical process control, defect pareto analysis, control plans, audit learnings, and excursion prevention indicators across fab, substrate manufacturing, and assembly manufacturing steps.
Support manufacturing excursion management, including MRB facilitation, containment strategies, rapid product risk assessment, discrepant material disposition decisions, and clear communication with Foundry partners and Intel customers.
Provide technical input on thermomechanical interactions between wafer, die, and package to support risk assessment and technical decision-making.
Own and continuously improve material disposition RFCs, Rel monitors (QTM, ORM), and Quality and Reliability best known methods.
Support technology certification and transfer activities in collaboration with technology development and ramp partners.
Use data extraction and statistical analysis tools, and custom scripting to flag product, process, or customer risks.
Represent the Quality and Reliability function as the voice of the customer in internal forums, providing recommendations to improve system, process, product quality, and reliability outcomes.
