Ray Bunkofske

Ray Bunkofske a Carleton alum who works for Intel also contacted us about two positions that he has open for one intern and one permanent job. The FDC intern position is located in Hillsboro, OR (a Portland suburb) at Intel’s microprocessor manufacturing facility. Here bare silicon wafers are taken and processed to transform them into state of the art microprocessors to power some of the world’s most innovative computer systems. Manufacturing semiconductor microprocessors is a very complicated and data intensive task requiring a high degree of sophistication in both the manufacturing methods and analysis of the data generated during the many process steps involved. This internship will involve developing a basic understanding of the processes involved, taking data collecting during those processes and comparing it to product performance results to determine the best ways to detect any process excursions and build mathematical models to detect these excursions as well as determine what effect they have on the ultimate quality of the product. The basic requirements for this work would be a background in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science or physics as well as a working familiarity with statistical methods and comparison techniques. Having experience with projection methods such as PCA / PLS or machine learning techniques (CART, gradient boosting trees) would be a definite advantage. The career center has the information as well. Ray is targeting the week of 10/24 to be at Carleton on a Midwest recruiting trip.
If you are interested in this sort of work and believe you match these qualifications please send your résumé to Ray Bunkofske at Intel Corporation through the campus career center. If you have any questions Ray can be contacted at: 971-214-1113.
