Life at Intel: https://jobs.intel.com/en/life-at-intel

As Intel expands to support both internal and external foundry customers, defining and executing a competitive process technology roadmap is critical to delivering performance, cost, and scale across our product portfolio.

The Process Roadmap Specialist owns the translation of semiconductor process technology decisions into cost, capability, and roadmap outcomes. Operating at the intersection of process technology and financial modeling, this role defines the optimal combination of technology choices to ensure Intel's process nodes are competitive, manufacturable, and financially viable. The specialist translates complex technology decisions-such as process flows, lithography strategies, and material innovations-into clear cost and performance tradeoffs that directly shape Intel's process roadmap. This work establishes the "process definition" for each node, providing a foundational input to factory planning and high-volume manufacturing execution. This role is central to connecting technology development, factory execution, and business outcomes, ensuring that process roadmap decisions are grounded in both technical reality and financial impact.

This position offers a unique opportunity to influence next-generation semiconductor technologies, working across engineering, operations, and finance teams to drive decisions that determine Intel's competitive position in the industry.

Job Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Define process roadmap tradeoffs
• Frame and evaluate technology decisions (process flow, lithography, materials, and design features) and quantify cost impact
• Translate technology decisions into financial outcomes
• Convert complex engineering scenarios into wafer cost, capital investment, and profit-and-loss implications using established modeling approaches.
• Own process-definition cost workflows
• Lead end-to-end costing of roadmap changes, including contingency list evaluation, assumptions development, scenario modeling, and reconciliation across planning cycles.
• Drive lithography and high-impact cost optimizations
• Analyze lithography strategy, tool selection, and productivity drivers as key levers in roadmap cost and capability decisions.
• Partner across technology, factory, and finance organizations
• Collaborate with Technology Development, Factory Operations, Intel Foundry Services, and Business Unit Finance to assess process customization requests and ensure alignment with business objectives.
• Evaluate next-generation technologies and innovation pipeline
• Partner with Technology Research to assess emerging technologies and quantify their potential to improve cost, performance, and competitiveness on future nodes.
• Influence roadmap decisions through data-driven insights
• Develop clear, executive-ready materials (including waterfall charts, pareto analyses, and scenario comparisons) with actionable recommendations, tradeoffs, and risk assessments.
• Improve tools, data, and modeling capability
• Partner with systems team to automate workflows, improve model fidelity, and scale roadmap decision-making processes.

The successful candidate must demonstrate the following:

• End-to-end ownership and executive communication
• Ability to independently drive deliverables from problem framing through final recommendation, with clear, concise communication tailored to executive stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and modeling capability
• Proven strength in data analysis, scenario modeling, and financial evaluation, with exceptional attention to detail and intellectual rigor.
• Structured thinking in ambiguous environments
• Ability to break down complex, ill-defined problems and develop clear, actionable insights despite incomplete or evolving inputs.
• Prioritization and execution across competing demand.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple high-impact workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Influence through insight and storytelling
• Comfort shaping decisions through structured analysis, clear logic, and compelling narratives that translate complexity into actionable conclusions.
• Adaptability and learning agility
• Flexibility to shift priorities, take on new problem spaces, and rapidly build expertise in unfamiliar technical or business domains.
• Advanced tool proficiency and continuous learning mindset
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, with the ability and curiosity to quickly adopt new tools, data sources, and analytical techniques.

This position is not eligible for Intel Immigration Sponsorship.
