Job Description:
Work with business unit marketing and IC design teams to select the optimum package solution based on cost, performance, manufacturability, and reliability for new advanced silicon node products (5nm, 3nm, 2nm, and beyond).
- Collaborate with IC design, system design, package SI/PI, and thermal engineering teams to design custom packages.
- Ensure designed packages meet CPI, SI/PI, and thermal requirements (up to 1000sW+) for advanced node silicon products.
- Research, develop, and productize new materials such as TIM, build-up film, and underfill to support advanced node silicon (5nm & 3/2nm) POR definition.
- Manage IC packaging activities from concept through development, qualification, and high-volume production.
- Define assembly BOM, processes, troubleshoot, and support packaging issues related to new advanced technologies.
- Implement, optimize, and productize new technologies into high-volume manufacturing (HVM).
- Create package design documentation and assembly instructions.
- Work closely with QA and customers to resolve quality issues.
- Coordinate with packaging assembly and substrate suppliers for new product ramp-up, qualification, and production.
- Interface with other operational groups such as product engineering, foundry, test, and QA.
- Participate in package technology development and productivity projects, e.g., process enhancement, new material development.
- Engage with external customers for custom ASIC programs, development support, and issue resolution.
- Support NPI, package qualification, and sustainment activities, including capacity, cost, and manufacturing flexibility.
Job Requirements:
- Education: BS/MS/PHD in STEM, Material Science, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering.
- Experience: BS +8 years, MS +6 years, or PhD +3 years.
- Deep understanding of signal and power integrity concepts, including impedance, s-parameters, and optimization.
- Proficiency with Cadence APD for custom substrate design.
- Hands-on experience with advanced assembly processes for flip-chip, MCM, and 2.5D packages for advanced nodes.
- Knowledge of CPI-related materials and wafer BEOL processes.
- Familiarity with advanced substrate manufacturing processes.
- Expertise in failure analysis techniques for advanced node products.
- Understanding of package cost structures.
- Strong project management, communication, and leadership skills.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, knowledge of GD&T.
- Fundamentals of manufacturing and quality engineering (DOE, process capability).
- Ability to grow across multiple disciplines: manufacturing, materials, electrical, thermal, mechanical.
- Track record of innovation, publications, or patents is preferred.
- Familiarity with advanced technologies such as 2.5D, 3DIC, and glass substrates.
