NPI Process Integration Technician at Intel in Malaysia

NPI Process Integration Technician Location: Malaysia, Penang Job Details: Job Description: We are seeking experienced and highly driven individuals to support the Penang Assembly and Test Manufacturing facility as a NPI Process Integration Technician. This role is responsible for coordinating and executing New Product Introduction (NPI) activities to ensure successful product startup from engineering builds through high volume manufacturing (HVM). Responsibilities/Expectations Core Responsibilities • Support NPI Process Integration Engineers / NPI Integrators in executing new product introductions, ensuring smooth factory readiness from early builds through volume ramp. • Review, manage, and track NPI intake forms, launch checklists, and VF/ENG lot checklists, ensuring timely closure before lot starts and production execution. • Set up, release, and monitor NPI / Engineering / Lead lots through the factory, ensuring correct routing, priority handling, and adherence to approved process flows. • Actively track lot movement and health, and promptly highlight abnormal behaviors (holds, tool mismatches, routing errors, yield risk signals) to Integration and Engineering teams. • Partner with Module NPI, Manufacturing, Test, Yield, and Automation teams to close gaps identified during NPI execution. ________________________________________ Operational and Execution Expectations • Ensure strict compliance to released RFCs, specs, and NPI execution requirements; no manual move-outs or deviations without approval. • Provide hands-on execution monitoring for NPI and engineering lots, especially during high-risk steps, lead lots, or first-of-kind flows. • Assist with time-zero monitoring, yield data checks, and early signal containment, particularly for NPI / ENG lots that are not fully covered by standard PROD dashboards. • Support problem-solving efforts by supplying accurate execution data, lot history, and process context for 8D, MRB, CADET, or yield investigations. ________________________________________ Cross-Functional and Communication Expectations • Serve as a factory execution interface for Integration engineers, ensuring alignment between Engineering intent and Manufacturing execution. • Escalate execution risks, checklist gaps, or supervision needs early, using defined NPI escalation paths and documentation. • Maintain clear, timely communication with NPI Integrators, Engineers, and Group Leads on lot status, risks, and recovery actions. ________________________________________ Quality, Discipline and Mindset • Demonstrate high operational discipline - precision in execution, attention to detail, and zero tolerance for undocumented shortcuts. • Continuously look for process gaps, unclear ownership, or recurring pain points, and feed learnings back to improve NPI standards and readiness checklists. • Embrace an NPI learning mindset: urgency with quality, data-driven problem solving, and willingness to engage across disciplines. Qualifications: • Diploma in Engineering or Technical discipline (e.g., Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Semiconductor-related fields), or equivalent hands-on manufacturing experience • Hands-on experience in semiconductor Assembly / Test, Manufacturing, or NPI environments is strongly preferred. • Familiarity with factory process flows, tool routing, lot management, and execution controls (ENG / NPI / PROD lots). • Exposure to engineering lots, lead lots, first-of-kind flows, or re-NPI activities is an advantage. • Basic understanding of process change control, RFC adherence, and execution discipline in a high-mix manufacturing environment. • Comfortable working with manufacturing systems (e.g., lot tracking, route verification, hold/release workflows, dashboards). • Demonstrated attention to detail and execution discipline, especially when handling engineering or high-risk NPI lots. • Awareness of quality systems, escalation paths, and structured problem-solving (e.g., 8D, MRB support) is a plus. • Willing to escalate early and fact based, rather than reactively after commits are at risk. • Open to shift flexibility or off-hour support during major NPI ramps or critical execution windows (as required by business).
