Staff IC Packaging Mechanical Engineer, Dojo

Tesla, Palo Alto, CA, United States

Tesla's Dojo & Self-Driving Hardware team is looking for an IC Package Mechanical Engineer who will be responsible for mechanical simulation and materials characterization of advanced IC packaging for the next generation of Self-Driving Hardware and Dojo Super AI Computer. In this highly visible role, this engineer will work closely with IC package integration, layout, EE, SI/PI, and thermal/mechanical teams. You will also interface with material, substrate, memory, foundry and assembly house vendors. You will drive packaging architecture pathfinding, design for manufacturing and reliability, and product level qualification.A successful candidate will have a strong growth mindset and be versatile in a highly dynamic environment.

Responsibilities

Numerical mechanical simulation of advanced IC packages chip-to-packaging interaction and packaging-to-system interaction to provide design guidance for yield and reliability
Perform first-principles analysis for component warpage, stress-strain for 2.5D/3D package materials, solder joint reliability, stacked via etc.
Model and simulate manufacturing and assembly process for conventional and advance packaging process, die to substrate joint process, underfill flow and curing process, package to board SMT process
Conduct first-order packaging thermal and mold flow analysis to optimize structural design
Packaging materials characterization to support new packaging architecture and materials selection using TMA, DMA, nanoindentation, lap shear, DSC, TGA etc. and applying adequate material models to precisely describe physical behavior

Requirements

Degree or equivalent with 5+ year experience in IC packaging mechanical/material engineering or related fields
Strong hands-on experience of major FEM tools(e.g., ANSYS, ABAQUS, etc.)
Deep understanding of packaging materials, mechanical characterization and qualification methodology
Knowledgeable of advanced packaging technology, e.g fan-out, SoC&HBM integration HPC packaging, 3D IC structural concept
Excellent engineering problem solving skills with strong physics and fundamentals
Nice to have programming experience using Matlab, Python and fundamental machine learning capability
