Advanced Packaging Multi-Physics Modeling Engineer

342k – 445kSan Francisco, CAHybrid
Summary

Leads multi-physics modeling and simulation for advanced AI/HPC packaging, optimizing thermal, mechanical, and electrical performance across chip, package, and system levels. Requires expertise in FEA tools like ANSYS/COMSOL and packaging technologies like CoWoS, HBM, chiplets.

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Lead multi-physics modeling and simulation across thermal, mechanical, and electrical domains for next-generation AI/HPC advanced packaging systems.
  • Drive co-optimization of chip, package, and system interactions to improve power integrity, thermal performance, mechanical reliability, and overall package scalability.
  • Develop and validate electro-thermal-mechanical simulation methodologies for heterogeneous integration platforms including 2.5D/3D packaging, HBM integration, and chiplet architectures.
  • Perform reliability assessment and root-cause analysis for package warpage, stress, underfill interaction, solder fatigue, electromigration, and thermo-mechanical failures.
  • Correlate simulation results with silicon, hardware measurements, and reliability test data to improve modeling accuracy and design predictability.

Requirements

  • Strong experience in thermal and mechanical modeling for advanced packaging systems.
  • Solid understanding of electro-thermal interactions and temperature-dependent electrical behavior.
  • Experience solving complex chip/package/system integration challenges using multi-physics simulation and first-principles engineering approaches.
  • Hands-on experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and multi-physics simulation tools such as ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus, Icepak, or equivalent.
  • Knowledge of package reliability mechanisms including warpage, solder fatigue, underfill stress, electromigration (EM), and thermo-mechanical interactions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong understanding of electro-thermal interactions and temperature-dependent electrical behavior in high-performance computing applications.
  • Familiarity with advanced packaging design including CoWoS, EMIB, chiplets, HBM integration, and 3D stacking.
  • Familiarity with advanced packaging technologies, design flows, materials, and manufacturing processes including CoWoS, EMIB, chiplets, HBM integration, and 3D stacking.
  • MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • Strong communication, cross-functional collaboration, and technical leadership skills.
