Intel's Rotation Engineers Program

Launch your engineering career working side-by-side with the industry's leading technologists on high profile projects across the corporation. Intel's Rotation Engineers Program (REP) is a full-time, 18-month technical development program for top recent college graduates with technical degrees (BS, MS, or PhD) and strong leadership skills.

Technical groups strategically and exclusively select and host program participants for three six-month rotations and provide final placement at the end of the program. Developed through the choice of rotations, as well as special training, mentoring and career coaching, rotation engineers assume influential positions as technical contributors and leaders.

Rotation selection is flexible and based on the rotation engineer's individual skills and career interests as well as the needs of the hosting group. While there's a great deal of variety among rotations they all share a common feature—each is challenging, specifically selected to provide a key experience in the growth of the engineer's career and has a direct impact on the technology development of the group.

For more information, check out the REP website: http://www.intel.com/jobs/usa/students/programs/rep.htm

IBM Position in NY

Position openings at IBM. Inquiries should be sent to Allen Gabor ( ahgabor@us.ibm.com )

Job description
This role manages complex semiconductor fabrication processes and procedures in the areas of photolithography and/or RIE. This includes the development of new patterning-processes consistent with the technology process assumptions. Establishes plans, defines approaches, develops designs and conducts engineering/scientific analysis on moderately complex problems. Has leadership responsibilities, when appropriate.

Job description
This position is for defect inspection support for IBM's 300mm development organization. It is located in Hopewell junction, NY. The primary responsibility is to define and execute inspection strategy that drives rapid technology and yield learning for advanced technology (22nm node and beyond). More specifically, this role involves deployment of advance inspection characterization methods such as the new design based binning application by KLA-Tencor to identify systematic defects. This role involves active participation in meetings with Unit Process/Integration/Characterization team. A strong team player with in-depth analytical skills with solid communication skill is a must.

Brown IEEE Student Chapter

As the semester is getting underway, so is the Brown IEEE Student Chapter. One of the main goals for the group this year will be creating and strengthening a community among engineers interested in technology. We will accomplish this through academic, corporate, and social events. Also, this year we plan on introducing a group project through which we can all participate in building an electronic system.

If you are considering an engineering concentration or have already decided on an electrical/computer engineering track, we encourage you to join this group. Please fill out the following form (even if you already signed up at the activities fair):
https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDUyWEFWYjNNeHJNd0NIa2NWT25LRmc6MQ
Since the Brown IEEE Student Chapter is a fairly young student group (it was started by 3 electrical engineering seniors last year), there is a lot of flexibility in what direction the group will take. If you choose to be part of the board, you will have a large impact on the vision of the group for its present and future members. A brief description of board positions can be found here: http://www.engin.brown.edu/organizations/ieee/boardposition/Brown_IEEE_Board_positions_description.pdf
Whether you are an undergraduate freshman or a PhD student, we encourage all engineers to consider running for a board position. If you are thinking about being an active member of the group, or have your heart set on a board position already, we welcome you to attend our first meeting of the year Tuesday September 14th at 8:00PM in BH190.

Thank you and we look forward to meeting with you,
