Job Description:

Broadcom is seeking an experienced package mechanical FEA engineer for very-large and complex packages for industry-leading ASICs.  You will be part of a worldwide R&D team developing high-performance package designs for ASICs for artificial intelligence (AI), networking, high-performance computing (HPC), and 5G base stations.  You'll have exposure to emerging package integration technologies, such as co-packaged fiber-optic transceivers and connectors and complex chip stacking (3DIC, hybrid copper bonding, heterogeneous integration, etc).  Also, you will develop and optimize unique multi-chip-module (MCM) packages and mainstream flip-chip BGA (FCBGA) packages.  You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with the R&D and manufacturing teams to influence the mechanical design of new ASICs, and make engineering trade offs with warpage, stress, reliability, cost, thermal and electrical performance, etc..  

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Design responsibility for mechanical design aspects of ASIC packages

  • Use advanced FEA to quantify and optimize reliability and manufacturing

  • Measure and experiment to validate understanding and improve model accuracy

  • Collaborate closely with package designers, reliability and manufacturing partners (internal and external) 

  • Schedule, prioritize, & track your work across 4+ projects simultaneously

  • Create presentations for and present to various audiences : engineers, managers, senior management, customers, and vendors

  • Document design rules and guidelines 

EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE & REQUIREMENTS:

  • Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering or similar field and 8+ years of experience in FEA modeling or Masters in Mechanical Engineering or similar field and 6+ years of experience  in FEA modeling or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or similar field and 3+ years of experience in FEA modeling.

  • Ability to evaluate complicated numerical simulation results against first principles such as strength of materials solutions 

  • Ability to calibrate modeling and results with existing empirical data 

  • Perform mechanical testing and measurement

  • Devise lab scale tests to validate analyses

  • Seek mechanical solutions at the intersection of manufacturing limitations, required reliability and customer expectations

  • Ansys Classic/Mechanical experience is preferred. Equivalent tool is OK

  • Cooperate with our world-wide team (multiple time zones), including co-design with internal team members and external (Vendor) designers

  • Self-management and organization skills

  • Presentation and technical documentation skills
