Meet the Team
We are seeking a skilled and driven ASIC Mechanical Engineer to join Cisco ASIC Group. In this role, you will focus on mechanical and thermomechanical simulations of ASICs and complex silicon packages. Your simulations will directly facilitate product design, ensure mechanical reliability, and accelerate time to market for high-performance Cisco systems.
You will collaborate with a globally distributed team across multiple time zones, contributing to innovative, simulation-driven design across packaging, reliability, thermal, and hardware engineering groups.
Your Impact
· Perform finite element analysis to evaluate thermal mechanical stress, warpage, solder joint reliability of ASIC package, substrates, and advanced packaging assemblies.
· Simulate and analyze linear/nonlinear material behaviors, such as plasticity, creep, and viscoelasticity, relevant to solder joints, Copper, stiffener, and underfills.
· Develop and automate simulation workflows using Python, Fortran or similar scripting tools to streamline analysis and reporting.
· Provide clear simulation results to support mechanical design, root cause analysis, and risk mitigation.
· Support design optimization at early phase of product development and failure investigations by correlating FEA predictions with test data and field returns.
· Document and present analysis results, assumptions, and design recommendations in a clear, structured format.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelors + 7 years of related experience, or Masters + 4 years of related experience, or PhD + 1 years of related experience.
At least 3 years of experience in mechanical design and thermomechanical simulation of semiconductor packages.
Hands-on experience with 3D modeling, finite element analysis using ABAQUS or ANSYS.
Flexibility to coordinate and communicate across different time zones, supporting global project teams in the US and Asia.
Preferred Qualifications
5+ years of experience in mechanical or thermomechanical simulation of semiconductors or electronics packaging systems.
Familiar with CAD, GD&T with AUTOCAD, CREO and related industry standards (JEDEC, IPC, etc.).
Experience in flip chips, 2.5D/3D advanced packaging, and/or heterogeneous integration technologies.
Familiarity with material mechanical behavior and material characterization and working knowledge of reliability qualification of semiconductor packages.
Proficiency in script-based automation for simulation to improve simulation efficiency and consistency.
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
