Attention
If you’re into advanced simulation and want to see your work influence next-gen semiconductors, this could be your next move. You’ll join an R&D team where your modelling skills are core to solving real-world thermal challenges in IC design.
Interest
In this role, you’ll:
- Run thermal and thermo-mechanical simulations using commercial and in-house tools.
- Identify design risks and drive performance through electro-thermal, stress and multi-physics modelling.
- Optimise workflows and boost accuracy by refining numerical methods and improving internal tools.
- Collaborate across engineering teams to embed your modelling insights into real design decisions.
Desire
You’ll work on technically complex problems; like novel heatsink designs and microchannel cooling, and use tools like Python, C++ and mainstream FEA/CFD software.
It’s an opportunity to:
- Drive simulation strategies that directly impact reliability and performance.
- Use AI/ML techniques (if that’s your thing) to enhance modelling workflows.
- Work with a global technology company that invests heavily in innovation.
Who we’re looking for
- PhD (0-2 yrs) or MSc (3-5 yrs) in EE, ME, Physics or similar.
- Strong understanding of thermodynamics, materials, and stress analysis.
- Experience with thermal-mechanical coupling, CFD, and FEA tools.
- Semiconductor background preferred.
- Bonus points for AI/ML experience in simulation.
