Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. K2 Space Corporation is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown. They are seeking a Senior ASIC Package Design Engineer to implement advanced ASIC package architecture, focusing on flip-chip BGA and multi-chip module solutions, and collaborating with internal teams to ensure successful package design.
Responsibilities
- Define ASIC package architecture for FC-BGA and MCM solutions, including substrate stack-up, ball-map strategy, power delivery, signal breakout, and mechanical constraints
- Lead package-level trade studies across cost, performance, power integrity (PI), signal integrity (SI), thermal, manufacturability, and reliability
- Establish package design standards, methodologies, and best practices
- Drive detailed design of FC-BGA packages for high-pin-count ASICs with high-speed SerDes, dense power grids, and RF signal content
- Define and review substrate stack-ups, via strategies, impedance control, escape routing, and reference plane planning
- Partner with silicon, RF, and systems teams to co-optimize die floorplans and package interfaces
- Support package-level SI/PI strategy, including high-speed digital interfaces, power delivery network (PDN) design, and decoupling strategy
- Lead thermal architecture at the package level, including lid selection, TIMs, heat-spreaders, and mechanical interfaces to system cooling
- Drive material selection, substrate technology choices, and assembly process optimization
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Packaging Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in ASIC package design, with deep expertise in FC-BGA
- Proven experience delivering high-pin-count, high-performance ASIC packages into production
- Strong understanding of substrate technologies and materials, SI/PI fundamentals at the package level, and thermal management for power-dense ASICs
- Fluent in SI/PI and EM simulation tools such as SIWave, HFSS, and ADS
- Experience working directly with OSATs and substrate vendors
- Knowledge of packaging qualification and test methodologies
- Experience with MCM or heterogeneous integration (chiplets, interposers, advanced laminates)
- Background in high-speed digital or mixed-signal SoCs
- Familiarity with aerospace, space, or high-reliability electronics
Benefits
- Equity in the company
- Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/ coverage, life insurance, paid parental leave, and many other perks
