  • Provide technical leadership in package mechanical and thermal analysis to support package architecture selection, design optimization, and reliability risk assessment.
  • Perform mechanical simulations of IC packages and systems using FEM tools to evaluate chip-package interaction, package-board interaction, warpage, stress, and reliability risks.
  • Perform component- and system-level thermal simulations for semiconductor packages using commercial simulation tools.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand product and packaging requirements, identify customer needs, and resolve complex technical issues.
  • Collaborate with OSAT partners, substrate suppliers, and material vendors to resolve technical issues, drive process development, optimize manufacturing processes, and improve yield.
  • Work with quality and reliability teams to establish reliability criteria and qualification plans for semiconductor products across various market applications.
  • Develop and maintain package design guidelines, process specifications, simulation methodologies, and technical documentation.


Qualifications

  • PhD or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor packaging development, package simulation, or packaging manufacturing.
  • Strong understanding of IC packaging materials and their mechanical, thermal, and electrical behaviors.
  • Strong knowledge of IC package structures, substrate technologies, and semiconductor assembly processes.
  • Hands-on experience with major FEM tools; ANSYS experience is preferred.
  • Experience with FloTHERM, Sigrity, or Icepak is a plus.
  • Experience with Cadence Allegro is a plus.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and influence technical decisions across organizations.
