Responsibilities

• Partner with process engineering teams to understand semiconductor packaging processes and develop robust FEA, solid & flow simulations, and analytical simulation models.
• Guide test vehicle development to improve simulation correlation with empirical data; develop test plans as needed to verify models and validate analysis approaches against test outcomes.
• Participate in the development and advancement of simulation modeling methodologies across structural, thermo‑structural, flow, thermal, and other multiphysics domains.
• Perform structural, thermal, and flow simulations for semiconductor packaging processes to predict behavior, assess risks, and enhance process and product performance.
• Provide process and equipment simulation reports to support pathfinding, technology development, and product introduction.
• Communicate FEA and flow simulation results (preferably leveraging CFD) analysis results clearly to process engineers, providing actionable technical insights, design recommendations, and risk assessments.
• Mentor and mature organizational analysis capability across structural, thermal, and flow technology domains.
  
  

Requirements

• Strong educational background or hands‑on experience in solid mechanics, finite element methods (FEA) with expertise in multiphysics modeling and simulation. Good understandings of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat & mass transfer, kinetics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) would be beneficial.
• Proven ability to understand and model multiphysics interactions, including setting up integrated multiphysics frameworks for analysis, measurements, and validation in IC packaging and related areas.
• Solid foundation in mechanics, physics, and chemistry, with emphasis on both analytical methods and measurement techniques.
• Extensive experience with high‑fidelity FEA including static, dynamic, thermal, flow, and coupled multiphysics analyses.
• Experience in static/ dynamic/ thermal analysis and multi-physics modeling with ability to handle convergence issues due to large deformations, large strains, plasticity, creep, viscoplasticity, viscoelasticty and contact.
• In‑depth knowledge of material properties, material characterization techniques, fatigue life prediction, creep damage assessment, and measurement methods relevant to IC packaging.
• Proficiency in commercial simulation tools such as, Ansys Mechanical, APDL, ACT, DesignModeler, and SpaceClaim with experience in CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks). Knowledge of working with Ansys Fluent or Star‑CCM+ would be beneficial.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor packaging processes, materials, and technology trends, including but not limited to dicing, backgrinding, die attach, PECVD, cryogenic cleaning, organic substrates, over‑molding materials, wire‑bonding, and C4 / Cu pillar attachment methods.
• Ability to understand failure mechanisms and develop both analytical and FE‑based models to explain and predict failure modes.
• Experience in defining and executing numerical and/or laboratory experiments to evaluate feasibility and validate concepts and solutions for new package technology development.
• Strong inclination toward leveraging AI/ML techniques to reduce simulation iterations, accelerate convergence, and improve modeling efficiency.
• Ability to turn simulation outcomes into scalable, easy‑to‑use tools or workflows for broader engineering adoption.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross‑functional, multidisciplinary team environments.
  
  

Degree Required

• MS/M.Tech with 6 Years or PhD with 1 to 2 years’ experience
• Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Physics, or related discipline
