I prefer to know all the details that you mentioned. I'm still blur to hardware engineer job scope in Intel.
Is it Intel doing digital only?

VSS at which department?

THis all hardware engineer even though most of the time sitting infront of laptop. a chip contain digital logic and analog interface. Intel deliver chip therefore they do digital and analog.

since we dealing VLSI = very large scale integrated circuit, therefore during the design phase everything done with cad tool such as spice simulator, matlab, layout drawing tool.... there are hundreds of tool flow out there to complete a VLSI chip. So they are hardware engineer.

in design phase, we have ppl doing design in digital domain and analog domain, We have ppl doing validation work, we have ppl maintaining and develop the design tool, we have ppl designingi the mask layer etc....

after the design done, GDS submit to fab, silicon come back, then we have ppl dealing with the silicon debug. Silicon debug is complicated too. ppl doing system validation, doing electrical validation, marginal validation, platform validation....bla bla bla....

and now there is new thing come in, which call reference design. Which means giving a platform reference design to customer for any application....

so now u understand?

Hey guys, in INTEL, no matter how good is the performance of a GT, it still depends on whether there is a HEADCOUNT given to a team right? as i heard that some GT renew their contract after a year due to no HEADCOUNT.
Any real case? (Just curious)

Actually GT what is their salary and benefits (Bonus+etcetc)

Really interested

PM me if it is P&C

Going to grad this year.. Eyeing my first job at Intel, but heard some people here say it's not good?

Mind I ask why? ....

Semicon industry wasn't doing well, intel consider stable without surprise income
Headcount freeze happen everywhere, but if u are good and willing to find a job internally it wasn't hard to convert from GT to permanent.
Don't wait for your own department to offer for permanent only.

i got offered a job as software engineer at intel and they called me 4 times
i wonder what is the scope?

How is Intel doing now?headcount freezes?

Yes unless there is a silver bullet.

Any department is hiring permanent position?

no..

only internal transfers...

You from Intel?

Screen shot from the first page of the Intel Jobs app.

There are jobs around but it will take a lot of convincing to get hired.

This mean that is hard to get into Intel now if there is hiring?I thought Intel is freezing the headcount?

Put it this way. If there is a person left and nobody can replace him/her internally, then of course the company will need to hire externally. This is what HR call silver bullet and what the hiring manager call strong justification.

If you are interested in a position, feel free to apply.

or they will just wait for incoming fresh grads and hire them as GT

erm... I've just applied as GT..... gonna have a 'phone interview' nex week. @@.... (i thought it needs to be face to face?)


might I ask...

What does a packaging engineer do in intel>? She said I will be under Packaging if succesful...

Wondering can change departments or not....

Also.. watcha think about having contract base job as ur first job after grad? @@ detrimental to CV?

Mind to share the job description and requirements?

Erm, I'm not sure.... I do know packaging in a semicon manufacturer means covering those IC with those black epoxy plastics... lol..

Boss, I haven't even have my interview yet bro. =D
