Staff Ic Packaging Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Company:
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Job Area:
Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Packaging Engineering
General Summary:
This position is part of Qualcomm's Integrated Circuits (IC) package engineering process team. This role offers unique opportunity to impact Qualcomm's current/future chipsets using FEA expertise, working closely with design, new product introduction (NPI) and Chip-Package Interaction (CPI) teams by providing mechanical simulation support for current HVM and advanced packaging technologies. This role requires development of mechanical FEA models (preferably using ANSYS APDL and Workbench), maintain APDL macros/workflows, establish FEA methodologies/BKM for test correlation, material characterization, and performing stress/mechanical analysis for IC package designs and failure prediction. Job responsibilities include but are not limited to: Warpage/Stress analysis, Solder joint reliability (SJR) prediction, package assembly process simulation, and chip package interaction (CPI) analysis. The candidate must be capable of utilizing advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques (sub-modeling approach, contact analysis, non-linear analysis), and test procedures for material characterization/testing. Candidate should also understand the fundamentals of silicon, package, and board level interconnect technologies. The candidate is expected to have strong communications, project focus and execution skills.
All Qualcomm employees are expected to actively support diversity in their teams, and in the Company.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field and 2+ year of System/Package Design/Technology Engineering or related work experience.
Preferred Qualifications

• Ph. D degree in Mechanical engineering, Material science, Electrical/Microelectronics, or related engineering field.
