Job Summary:
We are seeking a Staff / Principal Advanced Packaging Engineer to lead packaging architecture, technology strategy, and high-volume manufacturing execution for next-generation HPC and AI silicon.
This is a high-impact, hands-on technical leadership role responsible for driving advanced packaging from concept through mass production. You will define the company’s packaging roadmap, lead cross-functional chip-package-board co-design, and ensure scalable, reliable production for large-die, high-power devices.
What you will be responsible for:
1. Packaging Architecture & Technology Strategy
- Serve as the company’s technical authority on advanced semiconductor packaging.
- Define packaging architecture and select optimal technologies for high-performance, high-power HPC/AI silicon.
- Evaluate and deliver the best PPAC (Performance, Power, Area, Cost) trade-offs across solutions such as high-layer-count FCBGA, 3D stacking architectures, etc.
- Lead system-level Chip–Package–Board co-design in close collaboration with silicon and hardware teams.
2. Technical Governance & Outsourcing Management
- Own technical engagement with internal teams, and external packaging design houses.
- Establish clear design rules, review processes, delivery schedule, and quality standards.
- Perform independent technical sign-off on substrate layout, DRC / DFM compliance, critical design reviews to ensure design goals are met
- Partner with substrate suppliers to align process capabilities and technology roadmaps, assess mass-production feasibility and mitigate technical and schedule risks
3. SI/PI, Thermal & Mechanical Excellence
- Lead package-level Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) reviews for high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SerDes, HBM/3D DRAM, etc.).
- Review and validate electromagnetic simulation results to ensure compliance with aggressive electrical targets.
- Drive thermal architecture and mechanical reliability strategy for high-power and 3D stacked devices.
- Oversee warpage, stress, and reliability modeling (e.g., Ansys, Flotherm) to prevent substrate warpage, die cracking, long-term reliability risks
4. NPI, Supply Chain & Mass Production Leadership
- Lead packaging execution through New Product Introduction (NPI) into high-volume manufacturing and resolve technical issues due to issues within the process flow from bumping to molding
- Own resolution of mass production challenges, including yield excursions, solder voids, bonding failures
- Define reliability qualification strategy and lead failure analysis (FA) to drive rapid root-cause resolution.
How you will stand out:
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Microelectronics, Semiconductor Engineering, Electronic & Electrical Engineering, or related fields.
- >8 years in advanced semiconductor packaging (architecture, design, or process).
- Proven experience bringing large-area, high-power SoC/GPU/NPU devices from concept to high-volume production.
- Strong hands-on experience with high-layer-count FCBGA (3D stacking experience highly preferred).
- Expert-level substrate layout review capability (Cadence APD / Allegro).
- Deep knowledge of SI/PI analysis for large, high-speed dies; able to interpret electromagnetic simulation results.
- Good understanding of thermal effects on and mechanical impact of large-die packaging and has experience managing warpage mitigation and stress control.
- Good understanding of JEDEC reliability standards and FA techniques (SAT, X-ray, FIB, SEM).
- Demonstrate excellent communication skills with strong ability to collaborate across teams
- Proven ability to manage and influence external vendors with technical authority.
- Self-driven, accountable, and capable of leading complex programs end-to-end in dependently.
What you will experience working with us:
- A culture that values authenticity and diversity of thoughts and backgrounds;
- An inclusive and respectable environment with open workspaces and exciting start-up spirit;
- Fast-growing company with the chance to network with industrial pioneers and enthusiasts;
- Ability to contribute directly and make an impact on the future of the digital asset industry;
- Involvement in new projects, developing processes/systems;
- Personal accountability, autonomy, fast growth, and learning opportunities;
- Attractive welfare benefits and developmental opportunities such as training and mentoring.
