Process TD Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Engineering professional with strong expertise in simulation and process development to join our team supporting next-generation SSD product development and manufacturing.

This is a niche and high-impact role where you will combine mechanical simulation, engineering analysis, and process innovation to enable scalable, reliable, and manufacturable designs. You will play a critical role in bridging product design and high-volume manufacturing (HVM).

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Simulation & Engineering Analysis (Core Focus)

• Perform advanced mechanical simulations using ANSYS, Solid Works, or equivalent tools
• Analyze stress, strain, deformation, fatigue, and failure mechanisms in components and assemblies
• Evaluate product performance under thermal, environmental, and operational conditions
• Conduct simulations supporting SSD rework, disassembly, and structural integrity
• Conduct simulation on semiconductor packaging and solder joint reliability
• Develop simulation workflows to verify and validate design concepts.
• Identify potential design risks and propose mitigation strategies during disassembly.
• Translate simulation results into actionable design and process improvements

Process Development & New Product Introduction (NPI)

• Define and develop end-to-end SSD manufacturing process flows, including tooling and equipment configurations
• Lead process development, characterization, and qualification for new products
• Establish and validate manufacturing recipes and parameters for HVM transfer

Rework Technology & Mechanical Solutions

• Develop advanced rework techniques, including PCBA component replacement and product disassembly
• Evaluate new approaches to support complex mechanical structures and miniaturized designs
• Perform risk assessments (TRA) and implement process controls across the product lifecycle

DFM/DFA & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Provide strong mechanical input into DFM/DFA reviews
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams
• Ensure smooth transition from design to NPI to high-volume production
• Work closely with ODMs and suppliers on process and technology development

Education

• Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering (strongly preferred)
• Bachelor's degree with significant relevant experience may be considered

Experience

• 3+ years (Master's) or 5+ years (Bachelor's) in:
  • Mechanical simulation and analysis
  • Process development, NPI, or manufacturing engineering
• Experience in one or more of the following industries:
  • Semiconductor
  • Electronics or consumer devices
  • Automotive or precision manufacturing

Technical Expertise

• Hands-on experience with:
  • ANSYS (preferred), Solid Works, or similar simulation tools
• Strong understanding of:
  • Structural mechanics (stress, strain, fatigue, failure analysis)
  • Mechanical behavior of components and assemblies
• Experience in:
  • Manufacturing process development and integration
  • Rework or failure analysis in electronic assemblies
• Familiarity with:
  • DFM/DFA principles (mechanical focus)
  • Statistical analysis and process control
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to translate simulation data into practical engineering solutions
• Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, global environment
