Recruiter's Column - Intel
Why does Intel Corporation choose to recruit engineering
and
computer
science graduates
from UCLA?
Intel recruits technical students from UCLA and other universities worldwide based on the quality of engineering curriculum, strength in university and student research, availability of a diverse talent pool, and historical hiring success.
What do you see as the strengths of UCLA’s graduates in engineering and computer science?
UCLA students are well prepared for entry into our workforce because they learn the technical fundamentals, which lead to understanding the challenges of developing next generations of technologies across semiconductor, architecture, wireless applications, and other key areas.
How do employees who are UCLA alumni compare
to your other employees?
We have approximately 275 UCLA alumni working at Intel with 70 percent residing in technical positions; the rest typically have a business focus. Where UCLA students excel when compared to alumni from other top US engineering schools, is in being well-rounded with strong technical and soft skills - making them successful working across multiple US sites and internationally. For the size of UCLA’s engineering program, we are working to increase our technical student hires.
Are any UCLA engineering graduates in key leadership positions at Intel? If
so what
qualities
do they share that make them suited for such roles?
There are several high-ranking UCLA alumni working at Intel, including:
Steve Burke, MS chemical engineering, is director of Intel’s Technology and Manufacturing Group-Japan, which develops and delivers novel technology to Intel technical development and high volume manufacturing.
Jim Harrison, BS chemical engineering, is director of Intel’s Fab and Sort Manufacturing Operation group, where he collaborates with material suppliers and Intel development groups on nanotechnology.
Johnny Javanifard, MS electrical engineering, is a principle engineer in design for Flash memory design group, which develops new features and technology for Flash products.
Eric B. Kim, MS engineering systems, is vice president of Intel’s Sales and Marketing Group.
Jennifer O’Loughlin, PhD chemistry, is a senior process engineer in Portland Technology Development and is working on low k dielectric film development for interconnects.
Mike Schmitt, BS mechanical engineering, is the manager of Intel’s User-Centered Design group.
Ty Tang, BS computer science and engineering, is a principal engineer in the Platform Capability and Account Management strategic capabilities group, which focuses on innovating new computing models for the electronic industry.
The primary quality each of these employees share is a broad depth of technical knowledge and experience.
How many graduates from UCLA Engineering currently
work
at
Intel?
Approximately 200 of our 275 UCLA alumni graduated from the School over the last 20 years.
What types of positions have these graduates been hired to fill?
Most of them are component design engineers, software development engineers,
semiconductor manufacturing process engineers or work in finance.
What other aspects of Intel’s relationship with
the
University are important to the company?
Intel supports research at UCLA through equipment donations and funding for selected faculty and student fellowships. Youssry Botros, an Intel researcher, works in residence at the UCLA FENA MARCO Center and strengthens UCLA’s research ties with Intel - serving as an ambassador with students. Two chemical engineering graduate students - Robyn Woo and Trinh Van - received an Intel Foundation PhD Fellowship for 2005-06.
Diversity is important to Intel and we have maintained an active relationship with the Center for Excellence in Engineering Diversity at UCLA by providing funding, participating on the Industry Advisory Board, and interacting with student organizations. Other Intel higher education support includes developing technical curriculum and lectures online and on-campus to keep students up-to-date with technology and industry needs.
