Summary

Company Description

Job Description

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, SolidWorks, 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

Qualifications

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), SolidWorks, 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

Skills & Competencies
  • 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
