Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and optimize software solutions for engineering and research applications.
- Develop simulations capabilities using numerical methods like finite element, level sets, or related techniques.
- Develop modeling-based methodologies to solve device and interconnect process, module and reliability problems.
- Establish criteria and methods to determine proper inputs and validate results.
- Collaborate with software engineers, researchers, and domain experts to deliver scalable and maintainable solutions.
- Document technical solutions and present findings to project stakeholders.
Minimum Qualifications
- Must be a full-time student pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or a semiconductor-related field.
- Must have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA in college courses to date.
- 1+ year experience programming in C/C++/Python or equivalent.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and software development skills.
Preferred Qualification s
- Experience with using TCAD or atomistic simulation tools to study thermo-mechanical and chip/package interactions, thermal transport, thin film deposition processes, patterning, material chemical interactions or circuit performance.
- Hands on experience development and/or using finite element or equivalent solvers for solutions of physical systems.
- Experience with physics-based modeling, AI/machine learning methodologies for the analysis of solid mechanics, thermal management, reliability and manufacturing process of microprocessors devices.
This is your opportunity to develop your expertise, gain hands-on experience, and make a meaningful impact within a collaborative environment that drives the future of technology. We look forward to seeing how your skills and passion will contribute to our innovative team.
