Sr Staff Substrate Yield Lead - Arizona, Phoenix, United States
$180,770 - $255,200 USD yearly
Originally posted 6 October 2026 by the employer.
Lead yield performance for EMIB-T, Intel's advanced platform for heterogeneous integration.
About the role
As a Sr Staff Substrate Yield Lead, you will drive yield performance for manufacturing processes within the Substrate Technology and Development (SPTD) organization, with a focus on EMIB-T (Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge with TSV).
What you'll do
- Lead process yield ownership, driving root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective actions for yield excursions.
- Establish real-time yield monitoring dashboards and actionable performance metrics.
- Serve as the primary technical interface with substrate suppliers to drive process accountability, defect reduction, and yield enhancement.
- Partner with design and integration teams to optimize design rules and improve yield robustness through DFM and DFY initiatives.
- Perform statistical data analysis using tools such as JMP and SQL scripting to identify yield limiters and develop solutions.
- Apply advanced analytics or machine learning techniques to improve yield prediction and defect classification.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry or related field with 9+ years of experience, OR a Master's degree with 6+ years of experience, OR a PhD with 4+ years of experience.
- 4+ years of experience in at least 3 of the following areas:
* Statistical analysis tools (e.g., JMP) and scripting (e.g., SQL) for data analytics. * Yield analysis methodologies, defect density reduction, and process control. * Semiconductor fabrication processes, process integration, or manufacturing debug. * Fault isolation, failure analysis, or design-for-test (DFT) techniques.
Nice to have
- Interpret complex data sets and develop actionable insights for yield optimization.
- Experience with process design enablement, process development, and equipment optimization.
