Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Perform finite element analysis for optical engine packages across thermal and structural domains to support architecture and qualification decisions. Lead correlation efforts against measured hardware data to ensure model accuracy and design sign-off.
Requires an MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or Engineering Mechanics with 6+ years of experience in semiconductor packaging FEA. Must demonstrate expert proficiency in commercial FEA/CFD tools and experience with advanced packaging technologies.
Cspeed IO is a stealth start up backed by Sutter Hill Ventures and Atreides Capital - headquartered in Palo Alto, CA. Our executive team has a demonstrated track record of building and scaling category-defining semiconductor and infrastructure businesses at companies like Broadcom, Lumentum, Tesla, Apple, Samsung, Intel, and VMware.
Cspeed IO is developing next-generation optical semiconductor solutions for the AI infrastructure market, focused on enabling true “scale-up” architectures. Our mission is to replace traditional copper interconnects with advanced fiber-optic technologies that overcome the limitations of existing optics solutions and architectures.
This position performs finite element analysis for CspeedIO optical engine packages across both thermal and structural domains. It is scoped for a strong FEA engineer: demonstrated depth in either thermal or mechanical analysis is expected, and the ability to work competently in the other is required.
The analysis supports package architecture decisions and qualification. Temperature governs optical wavelength and channel uniformity. Deformation and interconnect stress govern assembly yield, reliability, and optical coupling, since warpage displaces optical facets. Both sets of results terminate in the same design decisions, which is why the scope is held in one role.
Correlation against measured hardware is a standing expectation. Results are used for design sign-off, so assumptions must be documented and defensible.
This position provides the physics basis for package architecture decisions and qualification.
