You will develop modeling and analytical tools, and you will also leverage existing tools, to build a fundamental understanding of underlying principles. This role requires a strong foundation in solid mechanics and deep expertise in numerical modeling, along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with globally distributed researchers, engineers, and customers. Key Responsibilities • Model new processes and process conditions to improve product performance and reduce costs for glass and/or ceramic substrates and filters. • Develop and apply analytical and numerical models (e.g., solid mechanics–based simulations) to build fundamental understanding of process and material behavior. • Communicate results clearly and collaborate effectively with a globally distributed team of researchers and engineers, as well as commercial partners and customers. • Use solid mechanics (analytical methods and FEA/BEM) to predict and mitigate thermo-mechanical stress, deformation/warpage, residual stress in glass/ceramic components. • Build transient thermal–stress models of process cycles (heating/cooling) to quantify stress evolution and identify robust process windows. • Simulate contact, fixturing, and handling to reduce local overstress, damage risk, and dimensional variability. • Evaluate thin film/coating stresses and interfacial delamination risk to inform layer design and processing conditions. • Provide mentorship and recommendations on new capabilities and method development related to mechanical testing and measurements. • Engage with the businesses, as needed, to address customer questions and support product engineering problem solving. • Write technical reports, invention disclosures, and publications. Required Qualifications • M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline with 4+ years of experience in a similar field OR Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related discipline with 0+ years of experience • Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) software (commercial and/or open-source). • Good knowledge of the mechanical behavior of soft materials (e.g., gels, polymers). • Ability to analyze problems and reduce them to mathematical models; design and carry out experiments to validate models; derive numerical/technology solutions; and make recommendations. • Strong mathematical and programming skills supporting FEA and boundary element method (BEM) modeling using commercial software packages (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys). • Strong verbal and written communication skills, including effective presentation skills. • Proven ability to work across multiple cultures on a globally dispersed and diverse team. • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects concurrently and prioritize effectively. • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills demonstrated through resolving product and/or process issues. • Flexibility is required; up to 10% travel. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with structural thin film mechanics while focusing on material modeling and characterization. • Experience with process and product engineering • Knowledge of a range of materials test techniques. • Ability to lead product performance data evaluations, experiments, and data analysis with cross-functional partners.
