Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include mechanical design, integration, and supplier engagement to bring advanced packaging solutions to production:

  • Support development of advanced semiconductor packaging solutions for AI, HPC, FPGA, ASIC, and SoC products.
  • Drive mechanical design activities: CAD modeling, tolerance analysis, fit checks, and DFM reviews.
  • Collaborate with suppliers and contract manufacturers to develop manufacturable packaging solutions and define design requirements.
  • Review and evaluate mechanical designs, simulations, drawings, and engineering changes to ensure quality and manufacturability.
  • Perform thermo-mechanical modeling and package integration using tools such as Creo and ANSYS Mechanical.
  • Contribute to chip, package, board, and system-level integration efforts and product ramp activities.
  • Support development of next-generation packaging, cooling, and materials technologies.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

  • Semiconductor packaging experience supporting ASIC, SoC, FPGA, CPU, GPU, AI, or HPC products.
  • Mechanical design experience including CAD modeling, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFM, and design reviews.
  • Familiarity with thermo-mechanical modeling using ANSYS Mechanical or similar tools.
  • Understanding of chip-package interaction, package-board interaction, and package integration.
  • Experience working with suppliers, contract manufacturers, or packaging development partners.
  • Knowledge of advanced packaging technologies and manufacturing processes.
  • Role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with advanced cooling solutions, thermal technologies, or emerging packaging materials.

Education Requirements

MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, or a related technical field. Equivalent industry experience may be considered.
