Job Description:

As a Principal Engineer for Die-to-Wafer Hybrid Bonding (HBI) module, you will play a pivotal role in defining and scaling next-generation advanced packaging technologies that enable Intel's leadership in high-performance computing, AI, and chiplet architectures.
This role operates at the intersection of pathfinding, technology development, and manufacturing, with responsibility for driving hybrid bonding capability from first-of-a-kind (FOK) platform development through qualification, ramp, and high-volume manufacturing (HVM). You will bring deep industry expertise in hybrid bonding equipment and process development, yield and reliability improvement, and platform innovation, helping Intel deliver robust, scalable solutions across multiple products and sites.
Your work will directly impact Intel's ability to execute advanced packaging roadmaps by delivering state-of-the-art hybrid bonding solutions with industry-leading performance, reliability, and cost efficiency, while shaping both internal strategy and the external ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive the hybrid bonding technology roadmap, including pitch scaling, alignment/overlay requirements, and yield, defectivity, and reliability targets aligned to future product needs.
• Lead module-level process development and execution for die-to-wafer hybrid bonding, ensuring robust, manufacturable solutions integrated across adjacent process steps (die prep, thinning, planarization).
• Drive first-of-a-kind (FOK) equipment and platform development, from concept through implementation, enabling next-generation bonding architectures and capabilities.
• Develop and implement strategies to address critical hybrid bonding challenges, including:
  • Bond interface defects (voids, adhesion failures)
  • Alignment and overlay limitations
  • Surface preparation and materials interactions
  • Defectivity reduction and contamination control
• Lead resolution of systemic yield and reliability issues, applying >

  Qualifications:

  • Degree in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
