Mechanical Engineer Supporting ASIC Test

About This Role

• A mechanical engineering position responsible for developing thermal management and robust socketing solutions for test and validation PCBs for Broadcom ASIC products targeted at hyperscale data center applications.
• Broadcom’s market leading products are enabling the next generation of AI and cloud storage.
• Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Collaborate with PCB electrical design engineers to provide robust ASIC socket and thermal solutions for their designs.
• Perform mechanical component design and design verification using Solidworks.
• Perform 3d mechanical extractions from Allegro PCB design software.
• Interface with device package designers and generate device warpage profiles for socket designs from raw simulations data.
• Measure actual device warpage to validate warpage profile simulations using high precision profilometry equipment.
• Manage socket hardware vendors, review, provide feedback, and approve designs.
• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical contact issues in lab and test floor environments.
• Design and review cooling solutions (air, liquid, cold plate) for test hardware.
• Evaluate and manage procurement of mechanical and test hardware such as thermal control units, socket resistance measurement platforms, etc. 3d print the team’s way out of headaches and usability issues.
• The Successful Candidate Will: Have a strong sense of design ownership.
• You enjoy collaborating with the engineers using your mechanical solutions and working with them to generate improvements.
• Have good mechanical prototyping skills.
• Be extremely detail oriented.
• Be familiar with the issues involved in socketing and cooling very large, high power, high ball-count ASIC devices.
• Have experience with pogo-pin and elastomeric IC socket solutions.
• Have good mechanical debug intuition and be comfortable with all basic hand tools, micrometers, calipers, etc.
• Have base knowledge of ATE test hardware mechanical configurations.
• Have familiarity with Keyence profilometry equipment.
• Have skills in manipulating large data sets in tools such as Excel or in scripts in Python.
• Have a passion for continuous improvement and a commitment to creating quality output.
• Exhibit strong teamwork skills as part of a fast moving, multi-site team.
• Have excellent interpersonal skills and be comfortable managing vendors and internal team customers alike.
