Develop and validate detailed finite element analysis (FEA) models to simulate thermal and mechanical behavior of advanced semiconductor packages. Perform simulations to evaluate stress, strain, warpage, thermal cycling, and reliability risks across a wide range of package architectures. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define simulation requirements, interpret results, and provide actionable design and process recommendations. Design and coordinate lab tests and research on materials and properties to understand material behavior and reliability failure mechanisms. Support technology roadmap development by evaluating new materials, interconnect structures, and process flows from a thermo-mechanical reliability perspective. Drive design-of-experiment studies and sensitivity analyses to understand key drivers of package performance and reliability Contribute to the development and automation of internal simulation workflows, tools, and best practices to improve modeling efficiency and accuracy Develop solutions to problems utilizing formal education, experience and engineering judgment Communicate recommendation and solution space to internal and external customers. Responds to customer/client requests or events as they occur. Document and present simulation methodologies, results, and recommendations to both technical and executive audiences Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and academic research in advanced packaging and simulation methodologies The candidate should also exhibit the following behavioral traits/skills: Strong communication skills across internal and external stakeholders and planning/prioritization skills for project success Ability to handle ambiguity and use appropriate skills (behavioral and/or technical) to drive clarity across stakeholders Willingness to lead and influence both external and internal teams Willingness to work independently with minimal supervision Technical problem-solving skills in a highly dynamic team environment Note: This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities. Provides tactical and strategic operational support to ensure the successful development and ramp of a high volume or technology development fabrication facility.
