  Job Description:

  Intel strives to make every facet of semiconductor manufacturing state-of-the-art -- from semiconductor process development and manufacturing, through yield improvement to packaging, final test and optimization, with world class supply chain and facilities support. Employees in the Technology Development group are part of a worldwide network of design, research, development, manufacturing, and assembly/test facilities, all focused on utilizing the power of Moore's Law to bring smart, connected devices to every person on Earth. Within our Technology Development group, the Components Research (CR) group's mission is to invent and demonstrate revolutionary process and packaging technologies that enable Intel's product leadership.

  The Intel Components Research group is seeking a Materials Research Engineer to join our team.

  The successful candidate will be expected to:

  • Demonstrate a safety-first attitude in all types and phases of work
  • Be responsible for the development of materials to meet program needs - often on short timelines with limited resources:
  • Demonstrate a thorough understanding of 2D material synthesis, including growth mechanisms, various growth techniques (MOCVD, CVD, MBE, etc.), and the impact of additives on the process such as growth promoters.
  • Be proficient with standard semiconductor measurement techniques (Raman, PL, AFM, ellipsometry, optical profilometry, SEM, SIMS, XPS, XRD, TEM, etc.) needed to quantify material properties and discriminate between varying process inputs.
  • Deep understanding in the critical integration steps for 2D materials such as device fabrication.
  • Constantly up to date with the latest publications and results from academia on 2D materials, while continuously searching for novel applications for 2D materials across Intel platforms.
  • Be an expert in experimental design and interpretation.
  • Willingness to make well-reasoned decisions with limited data.
  • Engage semiconductor tool and material ecosystems to drive key engagements in support of Components Research programs.
  • Be an active member of Components Research's external engagements team, engaging with universities, national labs, semiconductor consortia and vendors to identify and establish new research opportunities.

  The candidate will be expected to role model Intel cultural attributes and exhibit the following behavioral traits and/or skills and/or requirements (6+ months of experience with the following (having more than one will be preferred)):

  • Technical innovation and a drive to deliver results for complex, time critical technical projects.
  • Self-starter with dedication to continual learning.
  • Willingness to contribute to fast moving teams with a wide variety of skills and personalities.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Excellent presentation skills.
  • Strong spoken and written English language skills.
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally.

  This is an entry level position and compensation will be given accordingly.
