Physics AI - Thermal-Mechanical Reliability

Flexcompute is seeking a visionary technical leader to head our new division focused on 3D-IC Thermal-Mechanical Reliability. In this role, you will be the primary architect of how we apply our world’s fastest GPU solvers and Physics AI Foundation Models to the semiconductor industry’s most critical bottleneck: the structural and thermal integrity of advanced packaging.

• PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related field with a deep specialization in computational multi-physics.
• Recognized expertise in 3D-IC reliability, with a profound understanding of the mechanics of warpage, interfacial delamination, and thermal-mechanical coupling in heterogeneous integration.
• A strong perspective on the role of GPU acceleration and Machine Learning in scientific computing.
• 10+ years of experience in the semiconductor or microelectronics industry, having led technical projects that directly impacted product reliability or time-to-market.

• Own the technical roadmap for the thermal‑mechanical domain, defining how our Physics AI accelerates traditional FEA/multi‑physics workflows to provide real‑time reliability insights.
• Design end‑to‑end simulation workflows that address complex 3D‑IC challenges, including through‑silicon via (TSV) stress, micro‑bump reliability, and global package warpage.
• Act as the lead technical partner for world‑class semiconductor companies, demonstrating how Flexcompute’s speed transforms their iterative design cycles from days to minutes.
• Directly influence the development of our GPU‑accelerated solvers, ensuring they are optimized for the non‑linear material behaviours and multi‑scale meshes required for advanced packaging.
• Recruit, mentor, and lead a high‑performing team of engineers specialized in computational mechanics and AI‑driven physics.

• Competitive compensation with equity of a fast‑growing startup.
• Medical, dental, and vision health insurance.
• 401(k) Contribution.
• Gym allowance.
• Friendly, thoughtful, and intelligent coworkers.
