EngineeringASIC

Flux Computing designs and manufactures optical processors to train and run inference on large AI models. Join us to be part of a highly motivated and skilled team that thrives on delivering impact and innovation at speed.

The Role

We’re seeking a Senior / Staff ASIC Packaging Engineer to lead the design, integration, and optimization of advanced multi-die packages for our next-generation ultra‑high‑speed analog and mixed-signal ICs. These packages include high-speed DACs/ADCs, TIAs, sub‑100 fs‑rms jitter PLLs, and large clock-distribution networks — often in conjunction with optics die and photonic components.

You will be responsible for the physical implementation and signal integrity of complex packages, including flip-chip, 2.5D/3D ICs, and interposers, working closely with analog layout, circuit design, and optical integration teams to deliver robust, high‑performance solutions that scale.

Responsibilities

  • Own the physical design and integration of multi-die packages, including optical, analog, digital, and photonic die, using flip-chip, interposer-based, or fan-out architectures.

  • Develop detailed floorplans and escape routing strategies for high-density micro-bump, TSV, and redistribution layers, ensuring compliance with signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance targets.

  • Collaborate with analog layout engineers to co-optimize chip/package interfaces, including modeling and minimizing parasitics for > 10 GHz signal paths and low-jitter clock domains.

  • Perform and iterate based on EM/IR, thermal, SI/PI, and mechanical stress simulations, using tools such as HFSS, SIwave, Ansys RedHawk, or equivalent.

  • Work with circuit designers and optical system architects to ensure photonic alignment, thermal stability, and coupling efficiency in packages that integrate optical dies (e.g., silicon photonics).

  • Drive package substrate and interposer design in collaboration with foundries and substrate vendors, ensuring manufacturability and reliability.

  • Support prototype bring-up and characterization, correlating simulation and measurement results to improve model accuracy and performance.

  • Develop and maintain design guidelines, checklists, and automation scripts to streamline packaging workflows; mentor junior engineers on best practices.

  • Partner cross-functionally with IC design, test, signal integrity, manufacturing, and operations teams across multiple product lifecycles.

Skills & Experience

  • 7+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC packaging with a strong focus on multi-die integration, including 2.5D/3D ICs, chiplets, and optical components.

  • Proven track record in designing and shipping high-speed analog/RF and mixed-signal IC packages operating at 10 GHz and above.

  • Deep understanding of package parasitics, high-density micro-bump routing, return-loss/skew tuning, low-inductance power delivery, and thermal mitigation techniques.

  • Experience with optical packaging, including co-packaged optics (CPO), silicon photonics integration, or VCSEL/photo-detector alignment and coupling.

  • Expertise in signal and power integrity simulation tools, and package design tools (Cadence APD/SIP, ANSYS, HFSS, or equivalent).

  • Familiarity with foundry and OSAT processes, design-for-manufacturability (DFM), reliability standards, and production ramp.

  • Strong cross-functional communication skills; able to bridge circuit, layout, optics, and packaging disciplines in a fast-paced development environment.

Frequent travel is expected between our Austin and London offices.
