Description

  • Own ASIC package architecture for FC-BGA and MCM solutions, including stack-ups, ball maps, power delivery, signal breakout, and mechanical constraints.
  • Lead trade studies across cost, performance, SI/PI, thermal behavior, manufacturability, and reliability.
  • Define packaging roadmaps, organizational standards, methodologies, and best practices.
  • Drive detailed package design for high-pin-count ASICs with high-speed SerDes, dense power grids, and RF signals.
  • Partner with silicon, RF, and systems teams to optimize die floorplans and package interfaces.
  • Own package-level SI/PI strategy, including SerDes, JESD, Interlaken, PDN design, and decoupling.
  • Lead package thermal architecture, including lids, TIMs, heat spreaders, and system cooling interfaces.
  • Manage OSAT, substrate supplier, and packaging vendor relationships, including qualification, negotiations, and performance tracking.
  • Drive material selection, substrate technology decisions, assembly optimization, and packaging qualification.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Packaging, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of ASIC package design experience with deep FC-BGA expertise.
  • Proven experience delivering high-pin-count, high-performance ASIC packages into production.
  • Strong knowledge of substrate technologies, materials, package-level SI/PI, and thermal management for power-dense ASICs.
  • Proficiency with SI/PI and EM simulation tools such as SIWave, HFSS, and ADS.
  • Direct experience working with OSATs and substrate vendors.
  • Knowledge of packaging qualification and test methodologies.
  • Experience with MCM or heterogeneous integration, including chiplets, interposers, or advanced laminates (preferred).
  • Background in high-speed digital or mixed-signal SoCs and aerospace, space, or high-reliability electronics (preferred).
  • Experience defining packaging strategy from early architecture through first silicon, volume ramp, and organizational methodology development (preferred); must meet U.S. export-control eligibility requirements.

Benefits

  • Base salary of $200,000–$280,000 plus company equity.
  • Paid time off.
