Semiconductor Mechanical Engineer

• Design & Development:
  • Develop mechanical designs for semiconductor components, including chip packaging, heat sinks, enclosures, and interconnect structures.
  • Perform thermal, structural, and vibration analysis using simulation tools.
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers to ensure mechanical designs meet electrical and thermal performance specifications.
  • Review all CM mechanical drawings for completeness, corrections and adherence to requirements.
  • Develop or evaluate new or existing manufacturing processes for improvement and control, using tools such as Design of Experiments (DoE), Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gage R&R) and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
  • Support R&D efforts of additive manufacturing as related to various aspects of electronic components – Packaging, substrate printing, PCB printing, etc...
• Materials & Manufacturing:
  • Interface with vendors to evaluate DFM (Design for Manufacturability) for components such as PCBs, die carriers, and encapsulants.
  • Ensuring the CMs can properly implement applied various IPC and JEDEC manufacturing standards
• Testing & Validation:
  • Develop and execute test plans for thermal, mechanical shock, vibration, and environmental reliability.
  • Support failure analysis and root cause investigations.
• Project Management:
  • Maintain documentation including 3D models, drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing instructions.
  • Participate in cross-functional project reviews and provide input on product lifecycle decisions. 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field or related experience.
• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor packaging, electronics cooling, or precision mechanical systems.
• Proficiency in CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, or CATIA.
• Experience in PCB manufacturing and assembly in required qualifications
• Familiarity with semiconductor fabrication processes, packaging standards, and materials.

• Experience with FEA tools and thermal simulation packages.
• Exposure to semiconductor reliability testing such as HALT/HASS.
• Experience working in a startup or fast-paced R&D environment.
• Experience with materials selection and evaluation suitable for high-reliability applications, and harsh environments (e.g., high temp, radiation).
• Experience in providing guidance for component selection for use in hermetically sealed enclosures. Understand off-gassing and long-term reliability concerns and constraints.

• Strong problem-solving skills and analytical mindset.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality engineering practices.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to evolving project requirements.
• Willingness to go hands-on and solve problems without ideal tools.
