Packaging Architect

Job Description MediaTek is seeking a talented and experienced technical leader with expertise in Packaging Architecture, specifically 2.5D/3D/3.5D and STCO. This role involves close collaboration with cross‑functional teams, including IP, ASIC Design, Package Design, Signal Integrity, Power Integrity, Thermal, thermomechanical, product engineering, Test, and system team. The goal is to develop advanced packaging architecture and guide the development of innovative packaging solutions for automotive, datacenter/HPC, and computing applications. The ideal candidate will play a key role in identifying the optimal package architecture and key packaging technologies, establishing 3rd party relationships, communicating with partners and addressing challenges in areas such as 2.5D/3D/3.5D and system technology optimization with advanced Si nodes, including but not limited to CoWoS‑S/R/L, EMIB/EMIB‑T, SoIC, HBM, FCBGA, and HBPOP. The candidate should demonstrate ownership, high standards, strategic thinking, and customer obsession. Roles and Responsibilities Identify the optimal package architecture by balancing electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance, meeting project’s timeline. Working closely with internal and external partners on silicon‑disaggregation and other chiplet strategies for advanced packages, including emerging‑memory chiplet integration. Perform a trade‑off analysis across silicon layout, die‑to‑die connectivity options, and package design/technology, evaluating their impact on key product metrics, including performance, cost, manufacturability, power efficiency, and form factor. Identifying critical elements for packaging roadmap, partner with supply chain engineering experts to define packaging technology and material requirements for substrate fabrication, assembly, and raw material vendors. Stay informed about emerging packaging architectures by engaging with the product team and customers in the data center and high‑end compute segments. Continuously monitor the competitive landscape in packaging technologies and solutions. Qualifications Extensive hands‑on experience (8+ years) in advanced semiconductor package architecture, including 2.5D/3D/3.5D, CoWoS‑S/R/L, EMIB/EMIB‑T, SoIC, HBM, FCBGA, HBPOP, and related technologies. Extensive experience in characterization and design of 2D, 2.5D, & 3D flip‑chip & wafer‑scale packaging solutions; experience in the areas of power‑signal integrity, thermal‑mechanical & system engineering domains. Proven track record of bringing up successful packages/products with high power and high bandwidth applications from inception to product introduction. Extensive experience with high‑speed interfaces, including SERDES, PCIe, die‑to‑die (D2D) interconnects and CPO & CPC, with a strong understanding of their impact on packaging technology choices, such as substrate selection, interconnect architecture, signal integrity, CPO & CPC integration, and thermal considerations. Experience in HBM on package integration, DDR integration, and working knowledge of various memory types. Experience in various EDA & CAD tools. Excellent communication skills. About 10-15% international travel required. Salary range: $171,000 - $272,000. Employee may be eligible for performance bonus, short- and long‑term incentive programs. Actual total compensation will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, and qualifications.
