Job Description

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on IC Packaging Technologist to lead and innovate in the development of high-performance, high-speed, and advanced IC package solutions. The ideal candidate will bring a proven track record of deep technical contributions in 2.5D/3D integration, chiplet technology, fan-out wafer-level-packaging (e.g., FOWLP/FoCoS/Info), and heterogeneous integration. The successful candidate will lead strategic roadmap execution and scale innovative package solutions into production through close collaboration with OSATs, foundries and key suppliers

Basic Qualifications:

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related discipline.
  • 10+ years of experience in IC packaging development and NPI for high-speed SerDes and high-performance SoCs, ASICs, or memory products
  • Deep hands-on expertise with FCBGA, fcCSP, co-packaged optics (CPO), and 2.5D/3D integration technologies such as CoWoS, RDL and silicon interposers, and chiplet-based architectures (e.g., BoW, UCIe); along with experience in fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP/WLFO).
  • Strong understanding of packaging material selection, substrate stack-up, bump/RDL design, and DFM for advanced nodes
  • Entrepreneurial, open-minded behavior and hands-on work ethic with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of tasks.

Required Experience :

  • Led multiple end-to-end advanced packaging NPI programs, from concept definition, pathfinding, design, supplier engagement, process development, and successful transition to HVM.
  • Experience in high-speed SerDes IC package development, including interfaces such as PCI Express (PCIe) Gen4/Gen5/Gen6, CXL (Compute Express Link), and other multi-gigabit transceiver protocols, as well as devices such as retimers, switches, and PHYs operating at data rates up to 224G/448G PAM4.
  • Experience defining RDL and bump architectures to enable die-to-die chiplet integration using interconnect standards such as BoW (Bunch of Wires) and UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express).
  • Demonstrated ability to lead collaboration with foundries (e.g., TSMC), OSATs, and substrate suppliers for collaborative package technology development.
  • Deep understanding of mechanical (e.g., warpage, CTE mismatch), thermal (e.g., heat dissipation, TIM), and electrical (e.g., parasitics, signal integrity) design trade-offs in advanced package development, with a proven ability to deliver robust and manufacturable packaging solutions.
  • Deep understanding of the technology landscape, cost drivers, and market trends influencing IC packaging innovation.
  • Demonstrated ability to operate cross-functionally across design, product/test engineering, operations, reliability, marketing, and customer-facing teams.

Preferred Experience:

  • SI/PI knowledge is a plus: SI/PI concepts, S-parameter extraction, and PDN optimization using HFSS, SIwave, or Ansys Designer
  • Knowledge of EDA design tools is a plus: Cadence Allegro/APD, Altium, etc.
