Senior Package Modeling Engineer
NVIDIAJob Title
Senior Package Modeling Engineer
Role Summary
Work in NVIDIA's Advanced Technology Group (ATG) developing and validating thermo-mechanical models for advanced semiconductor packages. The role focuses on using FEA to assess stress, warpage, and reliability and to influence package build, material selection, and manufacturing decisions.
The position collaborates with cross-functional teams to define modeling approaches, interpret simulation results, and contribute to long-term packaging roadmaps.
Experience Level
Senior — typically requires 5+ years of relevant experience in FEA modeling/simulation or equivalent.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Perform FEA to evaluate stress, warpage, and thermo-mechanical behavior of semiconductor packages.
- Develop and validate modeling approaches, assumptions, and simulation methodologies.
- Assess material properties and their impact on package reliability.
- Evaluate new materials, interconnect concepts, and process options to inform packaging roadmaps.
- Collaborate with design, materials, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust package builds.
- Document methodologies and present findings to stakeholders; provide mentorship on modeling practices.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- 5+ years of FEA modeling/simulation experience.
- Proficiency with FEA tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or equivalent.
- Understanding of thermal-mechanical interactions and reliability failure modes.
- Familiarity with JEDEC reliability standards and accelerated life testing.
- Practical knowledge of advanced semiconductor packaging architectures (flip-chip, 2.5D/3D IC, CoWoS variants) and materials.
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
Education Requirements
MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
