About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead the end-to-end development of advanced IC packaging solutions integrating power delivery chiplets into package substrates.
Architect and deliver first-of-its-kind land-side assembly and embedded chiplet integration within substrate cores.
Build packaging technologies from concept through high-volume manufacturing (HVM), including design, materials, process, and reliability.
Establish and optimize Design of Experiments (DoE) frameworks to accelerate process development, yield learning, and performance optimization.
Develop statistical models and apply rigorous data analysis to drive design decisions, process control, and yield improvement.
Drive assembly process development, including novel flows for chiplet integration, substrate embedding, and advanced interconnects.
Partner directly with hyperscalers, ASIC, GPU, and xPU customers to integrate power delivery chiplets into their platforms.
Work closely with OSATs, substrate vendors, and materials suppliers to build scalable, manufacturable solutions.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Advanced degree (MS/PhD preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
10+ years of experience in semiconductor packaging with deep expertise in advanced packaging (2.5D/3D, chiplets, substrate integration).
Proven experience taking packaging technologies from early concept to production.
Strong background in power delivery, signal/power integrity, and package-system co-design.
Hands-on experience with DoE methodology, statistical analysis, and process optimization in a manufacturing or R&D environment.
Deep expertise in failure analysis, including root cause identification and corrective action across multiple domains.
Strong understanding of soldering processes, interconnect reliability, and assembly defect mechanisms.
Experience working with external manufacturing partners (OSATs) and supply chain ecosystems.
Ability to operate in ambiguity, move fast, and make high-quality technical decisions with limited data.
