Process TD Engineer

Process TD Engineer

At Solidigm, we are committed to innovation, performance, and reliability in data storage and memory technology.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Process TD Engineer (Mechanical Simulation) to join our dynamic manufacturing engineering team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in simulation-based design verification, structural analysis, and thermal-mechanical modeling, specifically in the context of advanced mechanical systems and cutting-edge technologies.

As a Process TD Engineer, you will play a key role in developing, validating, and improving Solidigm's products and technologies by leveraging advanced simulation tools and methodologies to solve complex engineering problems. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure optimized performance, reliability, and manufacturability of our products.

Key Responsibilities

Structural and Thermal-Mechanical Analysis:

• Contribute to design for manufacturing and assembly studies
• Perform simulations using advanced tools to predict mechanical behavior (e.g., finite element analysis for structural integrity or heat dissipation).
• Analyze stress, strain, and failures in components and assemblies under environmental and operational conditions.

Design Validation:

• Develop simulation workflows to verify and validate design concepts.
• Identify potential design risks and propose mitigation strategies during disassembly.
• Simulate and solve engineering problems such as solder joint reliability, temperature cycling fatigue, product disassembly and PCB strains, etc.

Method Development and Optimization:

• Continuously improve simulation techniques and methodologies for enhanced accuracy and computational efficiency.
• Evaluate emerging tools or technologies to advance simulation capabilities.
• Develop experimental test models to build predictive confidence in simulation data.
• Work cross-functionally with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure alignment of performance requirements and material specifications.
• Present findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Required education and skills:

• Master's degree or PhD in mechanical engineering, applied mechanics, or a related field.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in simulation engineering for mechanical systems in industry or in academia.
• Strong proficiency in finite element modeling tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, etc.).
• Knowledge of CAD tools (e.g., Solid Works, Creo, or equivalent) for model creation and integration.
• Solid understanding of material properties, structural mechanics, and thermal dynamics principles.
• Strong problem-solving skills and analytical mindset.
• Ability to work in a collaborative environment.
• Clear and effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Proactive and self-motivated with attention to detail.

Preferred:

• Design and or manufacturing experience in electronic devices
• Familiarity with storage and memory products or a similar high-tech industry.
• Experience with product qualification testing and simulation correlation.
• Knowledge of best practices related to structural and thermal analysis.
