The Next Level
government promote science, technol- ogy, engineering and math education; offer students incentives to finish those STEM degrees; and help universities fund the programs. In February, the Obama administration unveiled a $3.7 trillion budget for fiscal year 2012 that boosts investments in innovation and education.
Intel has long created opportunities through summer internships, and 2011 is no different for the company that de- signs and builds the essential technolo- gies that serve as the foundation for the world’s computing devices. Intel plans to double their internship hiring.
Michael A. Greene joined Intel in the summer of 1990. “My intern experience taught me the meaning of ‘drinking from the fire hose.’” Greene recalls. “I was inundated with information, oppor- tunity and access to the great thinkers of Intel.”
One of them stands out like a ton of silicon wafers.
“Early in my internship,” he recalled, “I was debating the need to change a

was a bundle of nerves. In the end, the Intel fellow helped sponsor Greene’s ideas and get them implemented across the company. “I spent the rest of my internship traveling to each domestic Intel site with almost unlimited access to a multimillion dollar electron micro- scope to catalog device failures,” said Greene.

Since joining the semiconductor gi- ant in 1990, he has worked in software development, processor design, manufacturing qual- ity and reliability, platform architecture and planning, and
technical marketing teams. Additionally, he has managed new product develop- ments, research efforts, and engineer- ing groups. His breadth of knowledge of Intel divisions, efforts, and technical competencies empower him and his
organization to facilitate the best group contributions to Intel’s planning ef- forts. Currently, Greene is software and services group director of the platform technologies & analysis center, an orga- nization responsible for future software and hardware road maps, placing him front and center of innovation and invention.
“At Intel,” he said, “if you find an issue, you are often empowered to own it and address it. I find this part of Intel culture so endearing. After two decades, I continue to get new opportunities and the resources and support to address them. This keeps my job fun and a fertile ground for learning and growth.” As Intel strives to impact the lives of everyone on Earth, the projection is that internship and career opportunities will continue.”
“At Intel,” Maria Larrinaga Willner said, “we focus on the most important asset we have: people. Which means we work to develop, nurture and reward employ- ees. Intel promotes a culture that’s open and direct, which encourages trans-
