Requirements
- 6+ years (after Masters) of hands-on experience building multiphysics models and simulations.
- Strong foundation in modeling and simulation of multiphysics, with required knowledge of dynamic electromagnetic, electrostatic, and thermal effects.
- Knowledge of structural mechanics, piezoelectric, piezoresistive, and fluid dynamics is welcome.
- Programming experience, particularly in Python scripting, and experience in automation of simulations to support automated and autonomous optimization and design.
- Industrial experience in modeling and simulating electromagnetic and thermal effects.
- FEA experience using COMSOL and/or Ansys in multiple coupled physics (experience with Abaqus, Siemens products, etc. is appreciated as well).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work independently and/or cross-functionally.
- Masters or Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Determine critical system attributes and set up computational models for existing and future devices, with a strong emphasis on electromagnetic and thermal models.
- Define figures of merit and boundary/operating conditions based on your understanding of the system and its requirements, as well as input from other engineers.
- Set up and deploy dynamic multiphysics simulations (electromagnetic, thermal, mechanics) via Finite Elements and/or Finite Volumes models for transient and static analyses to aid design and process decisions.
- Deliver executable computational models to support the company’s efforts in process sensitivity analysis, optimal design, and other engineering analyses as needed to improve robustness of designs and processes.
- Systematically document methods and their validation. Document and visualize results and present findings and recommendations to the team.
- Recommend model validation experiments and use results of such experiments to validate and improve models.
- Work collaboratively in cross-functional engineering teams with prototype engineers, device designers and AI engineers.
- Train other engineers in modeling and simulation tools.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with SPICE-based circuit simulation.
- Experience in computer aided design (CAD) using Fusion 360, SolidWorks, NX or other CAD tools.
- Experience with data visualization and analysis tools such as JMP, Matlab, Pandas, matplotlib, etc.
- Industry experience in product development processes such as Agile, ICSM, etc.
- Experience with MEMS.
