Position Summary: The Semiconductor Packaging Research Engineerdrivestechnology research foradvanced packaging and heterogeneous integration. Therole is suited for candidates with expertise in either packaging process integration or modeling/simulation, with a focus on evaluating new architectures, materials, interconnects, reliability risks, and manufacturability trade-offs for future products.
Key Responsibilities
Research advanced packaging concepts such as chiplets, heterogeneous integration, 2.5D/3DIC, hybrid bonding, interposer, and die-to-die interconnects.
Drive either process integration learning or modeling/simulation to assess feasibility, reliability, manufacturability, and technology readiness.
For process integration: define integration flows, research vehicles, DOE, defect/yield learning, qualification evidence, and risk mitigation paths.
For modeling: develop and validate thermal, thermo-mechanical, electrical, reliability, or multi-physics models using experimental and failure analysis data.
Translate product needs into research hypotheses, technical plans, and recommendations; document outputs through reports, design guidance, IP, publications, and development-transfer inputs.
Collaborate across research, design, process, materials, reliability, manufacturing, supplier, university, and ecosystem teams.

Modeling tool experience such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, HFSS, Cadence, MATLAB, Python, JMP, or equivalent platforms.
Record of patents, publications, conference presentations, technical reports, methodology development, or competitive technology assessments.
Ability to turn ambiguous research problems into clear assumptions, experiments, learning milestones, qualification metrics, and actionable recommendations.
Key Competencies
Advanced packaging research and pathfinding
Process integration or modeling/simulation expertise
Heterogeneous integration, chiplet, and advanced substrate knowledge
DOE, prototype learning, reliability assessment, or model validation
Technology readiness evaluation and cross-functional communication
Success Measures
Research outputs identify credible integration options, technology limiters, and trade-offs for future platforms.
Process integration or modeling results are supported by clear assumptions, evidence, validation data, and documented limitations.
Prototype, DOE, or simulation learning improves feasibility, reliability, integration robustness, and manufacturability understanding.
Key risks are identified early with practical mitigation paths and development-transfer recommendations.
Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
