Job description

The Server FEA Engineer position at Qualcomm involves serving as a technical authority for structural simulation and system-level modeling of high-performance server platforms. The role focuses on ensuring mechanical robustness and reliability from package through in-rack deployment. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to drive simulation-informed platform design. This position is ideal for individuals with a strong background in structural mechanics and advanced FEA experience.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Materials Science, Physics, or related field.
  • Strong background in structural mechanics, materials science, and structural dynamics.
  • 6+ years of advanced FEA experience in high-tech hardware platforms.
  • Proficiency in ANSYS, ABAQUS, HyperMesh, or equivalent.
  • Experience correlating system-level FEA with physical testing.

Responsibilities

  • Lead multi-scale FEA across package, board, chassis assembly, system, and rack levels.
  • Own system-level structural simulation, including server chassis assemblies and multi-node integration.
  • Lead structural dynamics modeling, including modal, shock, and vibration analysis.
  • Drive platform-level structural architecture through simulation-based decisions.
  • Correlate analytical models with component-, system-, and rack-level test data.

Benefits

  • Qualcomm offers competitive compensation, annual bonuses, stock programs, comprehensive healthcare coverage, retirement plans, wellness programs, parental leave, flexible work options, and professional development opportunities.
