The Collateral - Design and DFM Lead Engineer will play a crucial role in advancing high-volume manufacturing and ramping leading-edge logic technologies. This position is part of Intel's Manufacturing Development and Customer Engineering team, which focuses on enhancing design for manufacturability methodologies to improve performance and yield across a diverse product portfolio. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and refine DFM rules and methodologies, ensuring efficient design processes. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in semiconductor foundry environments and a strong understanding of design and manufacturing constraints.

• Master or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field with 10+ years of experience in DTCO and/or DFM within semiconductor foundry or advanced technology development environment.
• Strong understanding of DTCO skills including SRAM, Standard cells, Process Integration, Yield, and Device.
• Experience in leading cross functional groups in defining derivative architectures including Design rules, transistors and interconnects.
• Proven track record in foundry environment developing and implementing DFM solutions for varied customer requirements across multiple market segments.
• Hands-on experience in advanced node test chip design and scribe line optimization for 3nm-16nm FinFETs and sub 3nm GAA FETs.

• Lead cross functional teams across process integration, device, yield, design, OPC, RET, DR and DTP/CAD teams to define and enhance Design for Manufacturability rules.
• Enhance and feed silicon learning and sighting of yield issues for design teams to update layout and DTCO methodologies.
• Work and refine yield tools and flows inside the foundry to help in inline yield detection and optimization.
• Define and refine DFM methodologies by understanding silicon process flows and predicting rules for avoiding layout and design marginalities.

• Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
