TL;DR · Material Modeling and Simulation Engineer

As a Material Modeling and Simulation Engineer, you will join the Material Modeling Team within the Hardware Engineering organization. You will be responsible for developing, validating, and refining simulation methodologies that ensure strong correlation between simulation results and physical measurements for various product lines. Your daily work involves generating PCB material models across diverse environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity permutations, to support formal validation processes and maintain the integrity of the PCB material database. To achieve these goals, you will utilize EM simulation tools including HFSS 3D Layout, CST, ADS, and Clarity, while applying AI and ML techniques like DNN, PINN, or gradient boosting. You will also leverage scripting languages and expertise in electromagnetics to bridge the gap between modeled and measured results through cross-functional collaboration with hardware engineering teams.

What you'll do

  • Develop and refine simulation methodologies to ensure strong correlation between simulation results and physical measurements.
  • Generate and validate PCB material models across various environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity.
  • Support product teams in adopting improved correlation methodologies through workshops and direct collaboration.
  • Expand correlation methodology coverage across multiple EM simulation tools like HFSS 3D Layout, CST, ADS, and Clarity.
  • Apply AI and ML techniques to improve electromagnetic simulation methodologies.
  • Contribute to formal PCB material validation processes to support sign-off for new material families.
  • Maintain the integrity of the internal PCB material database.

What we're looking for

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field of study.
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field is preferred.
  • 3+ years of relevant work and academic experience.
  • Hands-on experience with EM simulation vendor tools such as HFSS.
  • Expertise in AI/ML methodologies including DNN, PINN, or gradient boosting.
  • Strong understanding of Electromagnetics and PCB material characterization methods.
  • Experience with scripting languages.
  • Experience with VNA-based S-parameter measurement, TRL/TDR calibration, and de-embedding workflows.
