A position is available immediately in the advanced thermal packaging project at the IBM Research – Zurich laboratory for research on novel packaging approaches with respect to heat removal and power / signal delivery for high-performance 3D-chip stacks. This effort supports IBM’s microprocessor platform and will strengthen its position as global leader in innovative thermal management and packaging solutions.
Requirements
We are seeking highly motivated individuals who are interested in joining our multi-disciplinary research team to extend packaging technology for high-performance computing platforms in the exascale era. Enabling technologies are the vertical integration of microprocessors and memory dies, as well as silicon photonic transceiver modules to improve communication bandwidth. The successful candidate will have a strong interdisciplinary background in physics, engineering, and material science (PhD). Required is a solid understanding of state-of-the-art thermo-mechanical modeling approaches and reliability testing methods. A broad knowledge in micro-fabrication and thermo-mechanical design is beneficial. The scope of the work spans from applied materials research to the development of novel packaging concepts tailored to vertical integration.
