Employment Type: Full-time
Department: Design Enablement / Advanced Packaging Technology

About Rapidus
Rapidus Corporation, founded in 2022, is Japan-led initiative to build a world-class advanced logic semiconductor foundry. With a bold vision to accelerate innovation, we are pioneering cutting-edge logic semiconductor research, development, design, and manufacturing to transform the global semiconductor industry.

Key Responsibilities
Lead the design and development of 2.5D/3D package architectures (e.g., interposer-based, fan-out, and 3D stacking)
Define and optimize chiplet integration strategies, including die partitioning, interface definition, and interconnect topologies
Develop package layout and routing for high-speed/high-density interconnects (e.g., HBM, UCIe, PCIe, SerDes)
Perform and guide signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and thermal analysis
Collaborate with silicon teams on bump/pad design, floorplanning, and co-design methodologies
Drive package-substrate co-design including material selection and stack-up definition
Interface with OSATs and foundries for manufacturability, yield improvement, and cost optimization
Support DFx (DFM, DFT, DFA) and reliability validation (warpage, stress, electromigration)
Contribute to package technology roadmap for advanced nodes (2nm and beyond)
Participate in bring-up, validation, and failure analysis of packaged devices

Required Qualifications
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field
5+ years of experience in semiconductor package design, especially advanced packaging
Hands-on experience with 2.5D/3D packaging technologies (e.g., silicon interposer, TSV, hybrid bonding)
Strong knowledge of high-speed interfaces and package-level SI/PI considerations
Experience with industry-standard tools (e.g., Cadence Allegro Package Designer, Sigrity, Ansys HFSS, RedHawk-SC Electrothermal)
Understanding of package manufacturing processes and OSAT ecosystem
Ability to work in cross-functional and global teams

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with chiplet architectures and standards (e.g., UCIe)
Knowledge of HBM integration, AI accelerators, or HPC systems
Experience with thermal/mechanical simulation tools (e.g., Ansys Mechanical, Icepak)
Familiarity with advanced substrates (ABF, glass core, fan-out RDL)
Experience in co-design with silicon (die-package-system co-optimization)
Knowledge of yield analysis and reliability modeling
Japanese language skills (for collaboration with Japan-based teams)

What We Offer
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge chiplet and heterogeneous integration technologies
Collaboration with global teams across the US and Japan
Exposure to next-generation nodes (2nm and beyond)
Competitive compensation and career growth opportunities
