You’ll be joining the WETS Product Group

The WETS Product Group is a dynamic, cross-disciplinary engineering team focused on innovation and excellence in new product development for semiconductor advanced packaging. The WETS products group focuses primarily on liquid-based processing technologies. Our team thrives on collaboration, technical rigor, and creative problem-solving. We work closely with colleagues across the globe to tackle complex engineering challenges, using advanced modeling and simulation to drive the next generation of high-performance solutions.

As a Modeling Engineer 3

  • Build Multiphysics models (Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element (FEA), Electric current and Electrochemical models) of complex reactor systems to support product and process development.
  • Collaborate with global engineering teams across the US, Europe, and Asia to simulate and solve multi-physics problems.
  • Simulate process conditions including structural, flow, thermal, chemical reactions, and mass transport to inform and optimize design decisions.
  • Recommend design solutions based on simulation results and engineering analysis.
  • Develop and execute design of experiments (DOE) and conduct lab experiments to validate simulation results using quantitative metrics.
  • Own the full lifecycle of computational modeling projects—from problem definition and model development to result evaluation, documentation, and design implementation support.
  • Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including thermo-mechanical, fatigue (high and low cycle), and non-linear analysis to ensure mechanical design integrity.
  • Generate technical reports, publications, and presentations; communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Contribute to the development of Intellectual Property (IP) through innovative modeling and simulation work.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 3 years and a Master’s degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.
  • Proficiency in commercial simulation tools such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar.
  • Experience with Finite Element Analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus).
  • Strong understanding of hydrodynamics and structural mechanics.
  • Experience and expertise in electrochemical or electroplating systems is a great plus.
  • Experience and expertise in field of microbubbles is a great plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear technical reports and present complex findings to diverse audiences.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills in a cross-functional, global team environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s or Ph.D. in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Experience with chemical reaction modeling and mass transport phenomena.
  • Familiarity with scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for simulation automation and data analysis.
  • Prior experience in semiconductor, energy, or advanced manufacturing industries.
  • Track record of published technical papers or granted patents in the field of modeling and simulation.
