Job Description: Job Overview:
Qualcomm Technologies Inc. is focused on inventing technologies that connect and empower people in ways that are elegant and accessible to all. QTI is actively seeking mechanical engineering candidates to join the QCT Product & Test engineering (PTE) team. This team is responsible for developing hardware to support all engineering development and production test activities at Qualcomm.
In this role, the mechanical design engineer is responsible for designing mechanical hardware and fixtures that support multiple product test engineering platforms used to during the characterization and test of semiconductor devices. There will be a strong focus using CAD tools to design hardware that provides a robust interface between the test equipment and manual and/or robotic equipment used for manipulating the semiconductor devices and providing temperature forcing capabilities.
In addition to the mechanical design work, there will be opportunities to perform structural/thermal FEA/CFD using the latest ANSYS engineering analysis software tools. Thermal challenges are on the rise due to new device architectures, higher performance requirements, and extreme temperature testing requirements associated with our new 5G, Automotive, and Compute products that are driving exciting digital wireless technological advancements globally.
This is a highly cross-functional and cross-disciplinary role that will require engaging with test, software, electrical, hardware and other mechanical engineers to collect design requirements, understand test goals, and develop robust mechanical designs. Regular communication of project status via emails and conference calls is expected.
We value an attitude that thrives in a learn-by-doing environment, a willingness to share ideas, and an eagerness to take on new challenges. Above all, we value teamwork, as this is a fast-paced environment where our mechanical designs have a direct and significant impact on the success of not only the Product and Test engineering (PTE) group, but of the company as a whole!
Example of tasks include:
Design mechanical hardware and fixtures that support multiple product test engineering platforms: Wafer-Sort Probe Testing, Automated Test Equipment (ATE), Chipset integration development platforms, System-level test platforms (SLT), among others.
Extensive use of Creo (Pro/Engineer) CAD tool to create 3D CAD models, assemblies & associated detailed 2D drawings
Perform structural and thermal analysis using ANSYS FEA/CFD analytical tools
Utilize product lifecycle management (PLM) software tools for releasing designs and generating engineering change orders (ECOs)
Collect and process empirical data using strain gages, thermocouples, Infrared cameras, high-resolution microscopes, etc.)
Opportunities to utilize programming languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB) for automation, data analysis and visualization, or custom tool development tasks
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
1 years Mechanical Engineering experience or related work experience.
Preferred Qualifications:
1-2 years experience in the following areas:
Knowledge of semiconductor test cell technology and operation and associated hardware design experience
Practical experience in part fabrication techniques, application of geometric tolerancing and dimensioning (GD&T) best practices per ASME Y14.5-2009,
Proficiency using Creo Parametric 3D modeling CAD software tool utilizing top-down assembly methodologies
Basic experience using any of the Ansys tools: Workbench, Electronics Desktop, Mechanical, Icepak, Optislang
Experience conducting tolerance stack-up analysis on complex assemblies
Familiarity with Agile product life-cycle management tool
Excellent English
Educational Requirements:
Bachelors or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Material Engineering, or related field
Comments for Suppliers: Goal is to extend or convert.
Hybrid - must be local
Entry level position, looking for recent grads or 1-2 years of experience
Masters may be ok, but PhD is overqualified
