• We are seeking exceptional, technical talent to join our organization that thrive in a fast paced environment, enjoys working with leading edge technology, and is motivated by opportunities to innovate and make meaningful business impact.
• Within GCE, the Tool Install Central Engineering group is a highly technical organization responsible for the design and execution of all semiconductor fabrication tool installations across Intel's global network.
• We complete thousands of tool install designs annually, leveraging standardization, continuous improvement, and robust metrics to ensure system health and operational excellence.
• Joining our team means being part of a global network of construction, design, and manufacturing experts who set the standard for semiconductor facility delivery.
• Our Design Managers are highly valued leaders who guide the tool install design program for our construction projects.
• You will manage external Architect and Engineering (AE) firms to execute the design and engineering for our tool install construction ramps.
• You will have the opportunity to support design programs at many of Intel's manufacturing sites (Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Israel, Malaysia and Ireland) and proliferate systems and processes across the global network.
• This is a hybrid role located at our Kiryat Gat, Israel campus. ________________________________________ Role Responsibilities As a Design Manager you will serve as the subject matter expert for tool install engineering and lead our design program.
• Program Leadership • Own end to end execution of the tool install design program. • Manage external AE supplier teams in the execution of tool install construction design deliverables. • Drive schedule performance to meet tool install ramp needs. • Provide AE cost forecast and manage PO and Invoice approvals and change control. • Oversee processes, standards, and execution quality. • Support construction teams during execution phase.
• Technical Expertise • Deep understanding of facility systems and manufacturing equipment requirements. • Expertise with local building code and design practices. • Intimate knowledge of design processes and standards. • Technical engineering problem solving to resolve design constraints. • Working knowledge of multi-discipline engineering and coordination.
• Operational and Partner Management • Own workload planning and coordinate with AE firms to optimize efficiency, predictability, and alignment with customer priorities. • Support construction teams to take design out of critical path and provide value engineering solutions. • Partner with industrial engineering teams to develop efficient tool layouts. • Collaborate with factory partners to define tool install design scope. • Partner with procurement and finance teams for contract management and funding. • Coordinate with facilities teams to ensure adequate facility system capacity for tool needs. • Serve as the primary escalation point for design program. • Build and sustain strong customer relationships, ensuring commitments are met. • Ensure GCE remains the design partner of choice for our factory customers. • Performance report outs to factory and construction management team.
• Process Excellence and Innovation • Define, track, and interpret metrics to assess project and process health. • Lead incremental and project to project improvements across the design ecosystem. • Pilot and refine innovations in collaboration with partners across the enterprise. • Drive the introduction and use of optimization and AI platforms to improve schedule and cost.
• Safety Leadership • Champion a culture of safety and caring across all environments - from offices to construction sites, and from front end planning through execution. ________________________________________ Behavioral Traits • Strong written, visual, and verbal communication skills. • Ability to influence in a highly matrixed, cross functional environment. • Willingness to collaborate across engineering disciplines, organizations, and global teams. • Strong orientation toward teamwork, customer service, and quality. • Organized, detail oriented, and excellent problem-solving skill. • Commitment to upholding and advocating for Intel's safety culture of care.
