Company

hirify.global is a publicly traded US manufacturer of printed circuit boards, RF components, microelectronic assemblies, and mission systems.

What you will do

• Lead the design and development of advanced System-In-Package and module solutions using 2D/3D packaging, flip-chip interconnects, WLP bumped die, and embedded die.
• Create and optimize detailed 3D package designs in SOLIDWORKS in collaboration with RF, microwave, and electrical engineering teams.
• Perform ANSYS-based mechanical, vibration, thermal, and reliability simulations covering chip-package interaction, package-board interaction, warpage, and stress.
• Develop SiP design infrastructure, including package design flows, 3D modeling and simulation methods, and design rules.
• Evaluate materials, assembly processes, emerging packaging technologies, and manufacturing risks.
• Prepare technical proposals, white papers, conference publications, tradeoff analyses, and planning inputs for packaging projects.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering with materials coursework; a master’s degree is a plus.
• At least 9 years of relevant experience, including 6–7 years of hands-on semiconductor packaging development.
• Advanced 3D modeling skills with SOLIDWORKS and FEA-based mechanical and thermal analysis with ANSYS.
• Strong knowledge of semiconductor packaging, heterogeneous SiPs, substrates, silicon interconnects, metallurgy, underfills, epoxies, thermal interface materials, shielding, and assembly processes.
• Ability to solve ambiguous interdisciplinary engineering problems using physics-based models, statistics, design of experiments, and structured tradeoff analysis.
• Must have a background permitting the US Department of Defense to issue a Secret clearance when required; ITAR-related technical data access is restricted to US citizens and US permanent residents.

Nice to have

• Master’s education in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Exposure to basic vibration analysis concepts.

Culture & Benefits

• Work as an individual contributor within a multidisciplinary advanced technology team.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, operations, business units, material suppliers, and process vendors.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance options.
• 401(k), flexible spending and health savings accounts, life and disability insurance.
• Paid vacation and holidays; benefits generally begin on the first day of the month following hire.
