Key Responsibilities

• Drive multi‑physics modeling and simulation for next‑generation, energy‑efficient compute platforms leveraging advanced semiconductor packaging technologies.
• This role will play a critical part in silicon–package–system co‑design, enabling architecture tradeoffs and influencing early design decisions for high‑performance CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators, and heterogeneous compute systems.

• CAE & Multi‑Physics Modeling

  Develop and own thermal, mechanical, and coupled multi‑physics models at:
  • Die level
  • Package level (2.5D / 3D)
  • Board and system level
• Perform architecture and packaging trade‑off studies to optimize:
  • Power efficiency
  • Thermal performance
  • Reliability and cost

• Energy‑Efficient Compute Enablement

• Analyze power–thermal interactions for high‑density compute workloads
• Support early‑stage energy per operation (E/op) and power efficiency targets
• Model effects of DVFS, power gating, workload power profiles, and hot‑spot behavior

• Advanced Packaging Focus

• Lead CAE efforts for advanced packaging technologies, including:
  • Chiplet‑based architectures
  • 2.5D / 3D integration
  • Fan‑Out packaging
  • HBM and advanced memory integration
• Assess TSV stress, warpage, CTE mismatch, and thermo‑mechanical reliability risks
• Support package architecture definition and design guidelines
• Define modeling strategy
• Set energy efficiency metrics
• Influence product architecture
• Interface with executives and partners
