TL;DR · Modeling Engineer III

As a Modeling Engineer 3 within the WETS Product Group, you will join a cross-disciplinary team focused on liquid-based processing technologies for semiconductor advanced packaging. You will manage the full lifecycle of computational modeling projects to support product and process development for wafer and panel systems. Your daily responsibilities include building multiphysics models—including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and electrochemical models—to simulate structural, flow, thermal, chemical reaction, and mass transport conditions. You will utilize tools such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, ANSYS Mechanical, or Abaqus to inform design decisions and conduct experiments for validation. The role requires expertise in hydrodynamics, structural mechanics, and potentially electroplating systems or microbubbles. You will also perform non-linear analysis, develop intellectual property, and collaborate with global teams to solve complex engineering challenges in the semiconductor capital equipment space.

What you'll do

  • Build multiphysics models including CFD, FEA, and electrochemical models for complex reactor systems.
  • Simulate structural, flow, thermal, chemical reaction, and mass transport conditions to optimize design decisions.
  • Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure mechanical integrity through thermo-mechanical and fatigue analysis.
  • Execute designs of experiments (DOE) and conduct lab tests to validate simulation results with quantitative metrics.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of modeling projects from initial problem definition to final design implementation.
  • Recommend specific engineering solutions based on simulation data and technical analysis.
  • Generate technical reports, publications, and presentations to communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Contribute to the development of intellectual property through innovative modeling and simulation work.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum 5 years experience with a Bachelor's, 3 years with a Master's, or a PhD.
  • Proficiency in commercial simulation tools such as ANSYS Fluent or COMSOL Multiphysics.
  • Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools like ANSYS Mechanical or Abaqus.
  • Strong understanding of hydrodynamics and structural mechanics.
  • Familiarity with scripting or programming languages like Python or MATLAB for automation and data analysis.
  • Experience in chemical reaction modeling, mass transport phenomena, or the semiconductor industry.
  • Ability to communicate complex findings through technical reports and presentations to global teams.
