TL;DR · Mechanical Engineer Supporting ASIC Test

The Mechanical Engineer Supporting ASIC Test joins the team to develop thermal management and robust socketing solutions for test and validation PCBs for Broadcom ASIC products. The role involves collaborating with electrical design engineers to provide ASIC socket and thermal solutions, performing mechanical component design, and conducting design verification. Key responsibilities include performing 3D mechanical extractions from Allegro, generating device warpage profiles from raw simulations, and measuring actual warpage using high precision profilometry equipment. The candidate will design and review air, liquid, and cold plate cooling solutions while managing socket hardware vendors. Required skills include proficiency in Solidworks, Ansys Icepack, Solidworks FLOW, and Ansys mechanical simulation software. Experience with pogo-pin and elastomeric IC socket solutions, Python scripting, and Excel for data manipulation is essential.

What you'll do

  • Design robust ASIC socket and thermal solutions for test and validation PCBs.
  • Perform mechanical component design and design verification using Solidworks.
  • Extract 3D mechanical data from Allegro PCB design software.
  • Generate and validate device warpage profiles using high-precision profilometry equipment.
  • Manage socket hardware vendors and approve their designs.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical contact issues in lab and test floor environments.
  • Design and review air, liquid, and cold plate cooling solutions for test hardware.
  • Evaluate and manage procurement of mechanical and test hardware.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and 8+ years of experience developing semiconductor socket and cooling solutions.
  • Master’s Degree and 6+ years of experience developing semiconductor socket and cooling solutions.
  • In depth experience using Solidworks.
  • Experience using Ansys Icepack and/or Solidworks FLOW thermal analysis and simulation software.
  • Experience using Ansys mechanical simulation software.
  • Experience managing vendors in the test hardware manufacturing process.
  • Experience with pogo-pin and elastomeric IC socket solutions.
  • Skills in manipulating large data sets in tools such as Excel or in scripts in Python.
