Senior Engineer, Advanced Structure and Stress Modeling

Job Title

Senior Engineer, Advanced Structure and Stress Modeling

Role Summary

Responsible for advanced structure and stress modeling to support semiconductor product development. Work within a modeling team to develop constitutive and thermo-mechanical models, run numerical simulations, and deliver technical reports.

The role involves implementing numerical methods, using FEA tools, applying level set methods for CAD/meshing, exploring ML integrations, and collaborating with cross-functional and distributed teams.

Experience Level

Senior — guidance provided: typically 5+ years of modeling experience with a Master's degree, or 3+ years with a Ph.D.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop and implement constitutive and thermo-mechanical models for solid mechanics applications.
• Perform finite-element analysis and simulations using commercial FEA tools.
• Apply level set methods for CAD preparation, meshing, design-of-experiments, analysis and rendering.
• Integrate numerical methods and scientific computing into modeling workflows; apply ML/AI techniques where appropriate.
• Debug simulations, identify root causes, and improve model fidelity and robustness.
• Prepare technical reports and conference papers; present results to engineering stakeholders.
• Collaborate with distributed teams using remote collaboration tools.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred qualifications:

• Must-have: Proven ability to execute projects independently and maintain documentation.
• Must-have: Strong teamwork and written/verbal communication skills; experience producing technical reports.
• Must-have: Experience with numerical methods and scientific computing.
• Must-have: Strong background in constitutive modeling in solid mechanics.
• Must-have: Experience with FEA tools; familiarity with Abaqus or ANSYS.
• Must-have: Advanced skills in level set method (LSM) for CAD, meshing and analysis.
• Must-have: Strong debugging and problem-solving ability.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with machine learning/deep learning concepts and experience employing AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot).
• Nice-to-have: Background in the semiconductor industry.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or related engineering/physics fields. The posting specifies 5+ years of modeling experience with a Master's degree, or 3+ years with a Ph.D.
