About the role

We currently have an opening for a Senior MEMS Design and Simulation Engineer within the Advanced MEMS Development group under the Aerospace, Defense, and Communications Business Unit (ADC). The primary responsibility is to design, simulate, and characterize MEMS packages and devices to take the initial concept toward productization.

Responsibilities

• Simulate and validate MEMS package stresses over different environmental stresses (solder effects, temperature, humidity, etc.).
• Develop and standardize package simulation flow across the MEMS portfolio.
• Understand and unify MEMS-package interactions and methodologies through co-simulations.
• Work with vendors, and internal and external collaborators to validate material properties.
• Document and apply cross-domain learnings with the packaging and IMU System team.
• Innovate, design, and productize high-performance inertial gyroscopes, accelerometers, IMUs, and other devices.
• Characterize and evaluate fabricated MEMS devices at wafer and part level using wafer probe and characterization equipment such as cascade prober, spectrum analyzer, and Zurich lock-in amplifier.
• Simulate and design MEMS devices with performance across fab process, package, and assembly variations.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary development teams to transfer MEMS designs from initiation concept to production.

Requirements

• Track record of MEMS innovations and/or successful MEMS product development.
• Hands-on experience and deep understanding of MEMS package simulations across different environmental stresses.
• Experience with material properties and their effects on MEMS performance over temperature and humidity.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills to cross-pollinate learnings.
• Hands-on experience with MEMS characterization and probe and test development.
• Ability to develop probe/test algorithms to enhance test efficiency, error source debugging, and calibrations.
• Strong analytical, simulation, and innovation skills for MEMS gyroscope design and co-design with ASIC, package, and IMU.
• Ability to develop SPICE models for circuit simulations, and analytical nonlinear coupling models through Simulink or Python.
• Strong understanding of MEMS error sources and ability to verify them with measurement in the lab using probe, bench characterization equipment (e.g., Zurich), and GTS systems.
• Strong mathematical/analytical experience with the ability to develop closed-form expressions to describe electro-mechanical systems and transfer functions.
• Experience in Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW.
• Experience with either Ansys, Comsol, or other FEA tools.
• Experience in linear and nonlinear control systems.
• Experience with MEMS process, package, and manufacturing technology.

Qualifications

PhD in electrical/mechanical engineering, or a Master’s degree with at least 3+ years of work experience in the MEMS industry. High energy and motivation level required to lead technology development and support a fast-growing business.

Pay

The expected wage range for a new hire into this position is $110,385 to $151,808. Actual wage offered may vary depending on work location, experience, education, training, external market data, internal pay equity, or other bona fide factors.
