Your Team, Your Impact

What You Can Expect

• Perform advanced thermomechanical finite element simulations to evaluate stress, strain, deformation, and structural integrity of test sockets, thermal heads, interconnects, fixtures, handlers, and package interfaces

• Lead warpage and deformation analysis for multimaterial assemblies, accounting for CTE mismatch, nonlinear material behavior, temperature gradients, and boundary conditions

• Develop thermal cycling and mechanical fatigue models to predict longterm reliability, including creep, stress relaxation, and interface degradation

• Create processaware mechanical models capturing effects of assembly, cure, reflow, compression, pressfit, and loadpath evolution through manufacturing and test

• Translate package and test infrastructure requirements into mechanical design constraints and reliability metrics for early architecture decisions

• Correlate simulation results with mechanical testing, thermal cycling data, warpage metrology, and strain measurements to validate and refine models

• Identify mechanical risk drivers and recommend design, material, or process changes to improve robustness, manufacturability, and yield

• Support rootcause analysis of lab or field issues related to cracking, delamination, contact degradation, excessive warpage, or mechanical instability

• Develop simulation methodologies, modeling guidelines, and best practices to improve consistency and prediction accuracy across programs

• Partner closely with thermal, packaging, test, reliability, and manufacturing teams to ensure mechanical compatibility and systemlevel alignment

• Interface with external vendors and manufacturing partners on material selection, tolerances, and mechanical performance expectations

• Document and communicate results through clear technical reports, design reviews, and executivelevel summaries

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields and 5-10 years of related professional experience or Master's degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields with 3-5 years of experience or equivalent professional experience in lieu of a formal degree

• Deep experience in thermomechanical simulation and structural FEA for complex, multimaterial systems

• Strong understanding of solid mechanics, material behavior, heatinduced stress, fatigue, and reliability physics

• Experience modeling warpage, contact mechanics, and mechanical interfaces in semiconductor or highprecision hardware

• Proficiency with simulation tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or equivalent, including nonlinear and transient analyses

• Handson experience correlating simulation with physical testing and metrology

• Ability to translate complex simulation results into actionable design guidance

• Strong communication skills and ability to influence crossfunctional technical decisions

• Experience with semiconductor packaging, test infrastructures, probe cards, or handlerintegrated mechanical systems

• Familiarity with thermal cycling standards and hardware qualification methodologies

• Experience with process modeling and manufacturinginduced stress analysis

• Scripting or automation experience using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools

• Prior technical leadership on crossorg infrastructure or platform programs

Interview Integrity

To support fair and authentic hiring practices, candidates are not permitted to use AI tools (such as transcription apps, real-time answer generators like ChatGPT or Copilot, or automated note-taking bots) during interviews.

These tools must not be used to record, assist with, or enhance responses in any way. Our interviews are designed to evaluate your individual experience, thought process, and communication skills in real time. Use of AI tools without prior instruction from the interviewer will result in disqualification from the hiring process.
