Package Thermal & Mechanical Simulation Engineer

NXP Semiconductors • Austin, TX

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Package Innovation organization is responsible for the design of new packaging concepts and the development of new packaging technologies and assembly processes. It partners with all of the businesses of NXP Semiconductors to deliver the right package for each market and application. The Package Innovation Mechanical & Thermal Modelling team uses Finite Element and Finite Volume simulation methodologies. They are used to shorten development cycles and deliver optimized design solutions for semiconductor packages. Key requirement for virtual prototyping is an efficient and accurate simulation model that does consider multiple physical domains along with complex 3-D structures containing many non-linearities. To reinforce our modeling and simulation team, we are looking for a mechanical engineer, located in Austin TX, USA. Your role is to develop simulation models of semiconductor components and assemblies, predict mechanical reliability, help identify technology limits and optimize packaging solutions aiming at a first-time right product qualification. A second key focus area will be to analyze the thermal performance of package concepts and technologies in modelized and actual applications.

Requirements

• A Master or Ph.D. degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent is required
• Experience with Finite Element Modelling, preferably with Ansys or Marc Mentat
• Fluent in English
• Willingness to be present on site for at least 3 days/week
• An excellent communicator, teamplayer, influencer and networker.
• A self-starter with initiative, flexibility and command skills.

Nice To Haves

• Understanding of semiconductor packaging technologies is preferred.

Responsibilities

• Be a part of the on-site Package Innovation simulation team at NXP Austin and collaboratively solve engineering questions for package development projects.
• Collaborate with product development teams and package project leads in support of risk mitigation and design optimization.
• Support problem-solving of package related issues during lifetime testing.
• Analyze thermal performance of products.
