Summary

At Intel, my role as a Manufacturing Systems Software Engineer is to develop and maintain automation software used on the fab floor. I worked closely with process and equipment engineers to make sure our manufacturing tools were properly integrated with our automation software systems. That included coding custom solutions for tool control, data collection, and optimizing workflows so production ran smoothly and efficiently.
