Job summary

Qualcomm is seeking a Server FEA Engineer in Santa Clara to lead multi-scale structural analysis from package to rack level. The role focuses on server chassis assemblies, dynamic modeling, and simulation-driven design decisions for high-performance data center platforms.

The candidate will correlate FEA results with test data, define methodologies, and communicate insights to leadership and partners. A strong background in mechanical engineering and advanced FEA is essential.

Qualifications

Experience in multi-scale structural analysis spanning package, board, chassis, and rack-level systems.
Proficiency with correlating FEA results to physical testing (modal, vibration, shock).
Knowledge of materials science and structural dynamics for high-tech hardware platforms.

Responsibilities

Lead multi-scale FEA across package, board, chassis, system, and rack levels.
Own system-level structural simulation including server chassis assemblies and in-rack boundary conditions.
Lead structural dynamics modeling (modal, shock, vibration, random vibration, harmonic response).
Drive platform-level structural architecture through simulation-based decisions.
Correlate analytical models with component-, system-, and rack-level test data.
Define and maintain platform simulation methodologies, modeling standards, and validation frameworks.
Translate simulation into clear design guidance for cross-functional teams.
Present technical analyses to engineering leadership, customers, and suppliers.
