Staff Engineer, Packaging Mechanical Simulation

About the role

Advancing the World’s Technology Together
Our technology solutions power the tools you use every day--including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and so much more. Here, you’ll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and powering the future.

Responsibilities

• Perform advanced numerical modeling and simulation to evaluate and improve the performance and reliability of cutting-edge semiconductor packages and memory devices.
• Provide mechanical design support throughout package- and system-development stages—from concept and detailed modeling to qualification and reliability testing.
• Apply hands-on expertise in mechanical and thermal modeling of micro-electronic components, including interconnects, solder joints, BGAs, and advanced-packaging architectures.
• Develop and maintain scripts for process automation (Python, MATLAB, or ANSYS APDL) to streamline pre-processing, simulation, and post-processing workflows for parametric and sensitivity studies.
• Design, execute, and interpret validation experiments that correlate and calibrate simulation models with empirical data.
• Contribute effectively both independently and as a member of cross-functional, cross-cultural, and globally distributed teams.

Requirements

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Materials Science, Physics, or a closely related discipline.
• 3-5+ years of hands-on modeling and simulation experience in the high-tech or semiconductor industry.
• Proven expertise with leading simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, HyperMesh, and their associated pre-/post-processing software.
• Extensive experience in static and dynamic simulations, covering linear and nonlinear analyses that involve geometric and material non-linearities.
• Adequate understanding of advanced semiconductor packaging, interconnect structures, and reliability-modeling techniques.
• Strong technical-writing skills, capable of producing clear, comprehensive documentation and communicating complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Qualifications

• Inclusive, adapting your style to the situation and diverse global norms of our people.
• An avid learner, you approach challenges with curiosity and resilience, seeking data to help build understanding.
• Collaborative, building relationships, humbly offering support and openly welcoming approaches.
• Innovative and creative, you proactively explore new ideas and adapt quickly to change.

Skills

• Advanced numerical modeling and simulation.
• Hands-on expertise in mechanical and thermal modeling.
• Process automation using Python, MATLAB, or ANSYS APDL.
• Validation experiments and correlation with empirical data.
• Effective communication and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
