Job Description: 

 As one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, Intel is committed to advancing every aspect of semiconductor technology, from process development and manufacturing to advanced packaging and reliability characterization.
Employees within Intel Foundry are part of a global network spanning technology development, manufacturing, assembly, test, and quality organizations across both front-end silicon and advanced packaging facilities.
You will join the Foundry Lab Network (FLN), a key organization within Foundry Quality, Reliability, and Labs (FQRL), located at Intel's growing Chandler, Arizona site. This site serves as the technology development hub for Intel's most advanced packaging technologies, including Hybrid Bond Interconnect (HBI), Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB-T), glass substrates, Foveros, and future advanced packaging innovations.
FLN is actively expanding its laboratory capabilities and capacity to support Intel Foundry's roadmap, enabling faster technology qualification and accelerating development cycles through Quick Turn Monitoring (QTM) solutions that significantly reduce time-to-data.
As the Stress Test and Reliability (STaR) Back-End Laboratory Manager, you will play a critical leadership role within FLN. You will partner closely with Packaging Technology Development, Quality and Reliability, and Failure Analysis teams to establish and enhance laboratory capabilities that support qualification and certification of next-generation packaging technologies and products.
This position offers a unique combination of people leadership, technical problem solving, and organizational strategy. You will lead a team of 7-10 talented engineers, spearhead cross-functional efforts to resolve complex reliability and technology challenges, drive strong quality and operational excellence across the laboratory, and develop a high-performing organization focused on innovation and customer responsiveness.
Our Chandler site offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of semiconductor innovation while enjoying life in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area and the scenic Sonoran Desert, with easy access to world-renowned destinations such as Sedona and the Grand Canyon.
 

Your key deliverables will include:
• Managing, hiring, coaching, and developing a high-performing team of 8-10 laboratory engineers while building an organization recognized as a destination team within the site.
• Defining and executing the laboratory capability and capacity roadmap to anticipate and meet future customer and technology requirements.
• Ensuring timely and effective response to both internal and external customer needs.
• Developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy to support data collection and qualification requirements for emerging packaging technologies.
• Establishing and advancing Reliability Quick Turn Monitoring (QTM) methodologies to accelerate technology development cycles and decision making.
• Driving a culture of operational excellence, quality leadership, and continuous improvement across the laboratory.
• Leading the laboratory's quality management system development and readiness efforts to achieve ISO 17025 accreditation, including driving effective 8D/root cause analysis for the engineering team.
