Intel is explicitly aiming for 'lights-out,' zero-touch backend fabs, and is hiring architects to design the full stack (MES, robotics, edge, AI decisioning) that would make human-light semiconductor manufacturing possible.
Transform the Future of Semiconductor Manufacturing - Intel is transforming its backend manufacturing network operations toward autonomous, lights-out manufacturing. We are building the next generation of factory automation platforms that enable intelligent, scalable, and highly efficient operations across Intel's global backend manufacturing network.
We are seeking a Senior Foundry Automation Solutions Architect to lead the architecture strategy and technology direction behind this transformation. In this highly visible role, you will define and deliver the software architectures that connect Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), equipment automation, robotics, material handling systems, edge computing, Industrial IoT, and AI-driven decision platforms into a unified factory ecosystem.
Working across engineering, factory operations, technology development, IT, and business leadership teams, you will translate strategic automation objectives into scalable, production-ready solutions that drive measurable improvements in factory performance at global scale.
Success in this role will be measured by tangible business outcomes, including reducing manual factory touchpoints to enable zero-touch operations, improving manufacturing efficiency and quality through the elimination of human-induced variability, increasing equipment utilization and throughput, reducing cycle times and operational bottlenecks, improving system availability and resilience, accelerating deployment of new automation capabilities, and establishing reusable architecture standards that can be scaled across Intel's manufacturing network.
This is a unique opportunity to define the architectural foundation for Intel's next generation of autonomous factories. The platforms, standards, and automation frameworks you create will directly influence the future of semiconductor manufacturing and help establish industry-leading operational excellence across Intel's global Assembly and Test operations.
