Job Description: 

The Experimental Mechanics Lab identifies and solves thermo-mechanical issues in the development of next-generation electronic packaging technology. Lab personnel use a variety of tools to study the behavior of an electronic package and its constituents under different thermo-mechanical boundary conditions, like: dynamic warpage of package using optics-based tools; adhesion strength characterization of various interfaces in a package using Double Cantilever Beam test; fracture toughness measurement of bulk materials using three-point bend test; and CTE measurement using 3D Digital Image Correlation method.

A typical job would involve design of experiment, setup definition including fixture fabrication, sample preparation, data collection and analysis, report presentation, and documentation. Lab engineers also help develop new metrologies to close gaps in lab capabilities when it comes to new packaging technologies.

We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in Experimental Mechanics and they should also possess good problem solving skills and ability to multitask. An ideal candidate would have hands-on lab experience, work well in a team, and have experience with LabView.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

  • PhD degree in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science or a related field

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in mechanical testing and material characterization

  • Hands-on experience with test equipment such as:

    • Load frames, Shadow Moire, nanoindenter, strain gages, digital image correlation, interferometers, DAQs, acoustic emission sensor, accelerometers, etc.

  • Experience in LabView and MATLAB programming

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
