Job Description

In this position, you will be working as a member of the NAND Design, Technology & Manufacturing Group's (NDTM) Quality and Reliability team.

This position is associated with the sale of Intel's NAND memory and storage business to SK Hynix (You can read more about the transaction in the press release - https://newsroom.intel.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2020/10/nand-memory-news-q-a.pdf). The transaction will enhance the resources and potential of the business' storage solutions, including client and enterprise SSDs, in the rapidly growing NAND Flash space amid the era of big data.

NAND wafers at the fab. Phase 2 of the transaction is expected to close in March 2025, at which time employees aligned to this phase of the transaction will transition employment to SK Hynix.
As the global leader in the semiconductor industry, Intel possesses many industry leading SSD technologies. As a NAND Product QRE, you will be part of a world-class team that will transition to lead the SSD business at SK Hynix.

This position aligns to Phase 2 of the transaction, which includes NAND technology and component development along with fab operations. Employees aligned to Phase 2 will continue to be employed by Intel and will continue to develop NAND technology and components and manufacture NAND wafers at the fab. Phase 2 of the transaction is expected to close in March 2025, at which time employees aligned to this phase of the transaction will transition employment to SK Hynix.
As a QRE will be responsible for but not limited to:
- Designing and executing experiments to identify, segment, characterize and model NVM reliability mechanisms.

- Developing empirical and physics-based predictive reliability modeling methods and tools for reliability risk assessments.

- Developing new acceleration techniques, test methods and analytical tools to provide fast and effective feedback for reliability process optimization.

- Determining reliability requirements and technology targets of components and systems to achieve company, customer and other reliability objectives.

- Developing the appropriate process and product qualification stress methods and criteria.

- Influencing design, process, product, test and/or system solutions in order to enable aggressive scaling of Intel's NVM technologies and exploration of novel memory cells.

- You may be expected to lead small cross-functional and cross-company groups of engineers on multi-disciplinary technical projects to solve complex reliability issues such as, during technology development and ramp to high-volume manufacturing.

Soft Skills

- Attention to details.

- Persistence and commitment to task.

- Clearly communicate achieved results and to influence wide range of audiences.

- Work well in a team setting with people from a wide range of backgrounds.

- Understand the high-level picture and apply systems thinking to generate solutions.

- Systematic analytical problem solving.

- Creative and innovative in solving technical problems.
