Utilize finite element analysis tools to conduct early design evaluation and optimization for components and system designs.
Construct relevant and realistic models and use simulation results to provide engineering and scientific insight to assist problem solving in the areas of reliability improvement and quality issue resolution.
In addition to semiconductor devices, efforts on other component families, PCB assemblies, and systems will also be required.
Understand hardware and system design requirements, product development methods, and manufacturing processes.
Evaluate and provide insight into effects of design variation on component
and system-level reliability.
Collaborate with relevant engineering teams and provide early assessments on reliability and quality risks for components, assemblies, and systems.
Provide guidance on acceleration testing methods, interpret results, and recommend mitigation measures.

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in material science, mechanical engineering, or similar fields
A minimum of 3 years of experience in finite element simulation.
Direct experience with ANSYS is required.
General understanding of common semiconductor technology and electronic system manufacturing processes is highly desired
Familiarity with failure modes and mechanisms of components and electronic assemblies
Knowledge of organic and inorganic materials properties, testing and characterization methods, and constitutive models is needed
Good performance as part of teams in both leadership and supporting roles;
Good communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
