DESCRIPTION
We are seeking a Package Layout Design Engineer to join our hardware team and contribute to the physical design of advanced IC packages for next-generation machine learning and data center ASICs.
In this role, you will execute package layout tasks from floor planning through tape out and manufacturing release, working closely with senior engineers, SI/PI, thermal, and manufacturing teams to deliver production-ready designs that meet performance, density, and reliability targets.
Key job responsibilities
- Execute package layout tasks across the design cycle: die floor planning, bump/pad assignment, RDL routing, substrate design, verification, and tape out release.
- Implement physical designs for advanced packaging architectures including 2.5D interposer, 3D-IC, fan-out wafer-level packaging, and silicon bridge technologies (e.g., CoWoS, EMIB, or similar).
- Support package floorplan development considering die placement, bump maps, power/ground distribution, signal escape routing, and decoupling capacitor placement.
- Perform RDL and substrate routing for high-density interconnects including microbumps, C4 bumps, TSVs, microvias, and PTH vias across multi-layer organic substrates or silicon interposers.
- Support die-level RDL routing and bump planning in coordination with ASIC physical design teams to help co-optimize the die-package interface.
- Contribute to cross-level layout co-optimization across die RDL, interposer/substrate, and PCB levels under guidance from senior engineers.
- Assist in maintaining package stack-up definitions in collaboration with SI/PI and materials engineering teams.
- Run physical verification checks (DRC, connectivity, shorts/opens) and support design closure.
- Follow and help refine package design rules and guidelines, working with OSAT partners and foundries to ensure DFM compliance.
- Collaborate with SI/PI engineers to incorporate electrical constraints into the physical layout — impedance-controlled routing, power plane optimization, and critical net shielding.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Experience identifying bugs in architecture, algorithms, functionality, and performance with strong overall debugging skills
- Experience verifying at multiple levels of logic from IP blocks to SoCs to full system testing
- 5+ years of experience in IC package layout and physical design
- Experience executing package designs from concept through tape out for multi-layer organic substrates or silicon interposers
- Hands-on experience with package layout tools such as Cadence APD/SiP, Synopsys IC Packaging, Mentor Xpedition, or equivalent
- Understanding of advanced packaging technologies: 2.5D/3D-IC, fan-out WLP, RDL, TSV, microbump, or silicon bridge interconnects
- Working knowledge of package design rules, DFM constraints, and physical verification methodologies (DRC, connectivity checks)
- Experience with bump map and ball map definition, escape routing strategies, and power/ground plane design
- Good communication skills with the ability to work effectively across design, SI/PI, and manufacturing teams
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field
- Experience with formal verification techniques including abstraction and end-to-end checking
- Experience with ARM and various DSP ISAs
- Experience with current and upcoming RF standards in cellular (4G/5G NR), WiMAX, 802.11ad, microwave backhaul, or related broadband wireless standards
- Experience with industry standard tools and scripting languages (Python or Perl) for automation
- MS with 3+ years in IC package layout and physical design
- Familiarity with substrate and interposer manufacturing processes, material properties, and their impact on design decisions
- Exposure to chiplet-based or heterogeneous integration packaging architectures
- Familiarity with package-level SI/PI concepts (impedance control, PDN layout, crosstalk-aware routing) sufficient to collaborate with SI/PI engineers
- Experience developing automation scripts (Python, TCL, Skill, Ravel) for layout tasks or design rule checks
- Exposure to working with OSAT partners on NPI builds or yield improvement efforts
- Familiarity with high-bandwidth memory (HBM) integration in advanced packaging contexts

Packaging Engineer Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a packaging engineer in Arizona?
Most packaging engineers in Arizona enter the field with a bachelor's degree in packaging science, mechanical engineering, materials science, or industrial engineering. Arizona does not require a state-issued license specifically for packaging engineers, though employers in regulated sectors often expect Certified Packaging Professional credentials through the Institute of Packaging Professionals. Graduates from Arizona State University's engineering programs are well positioned to pursue roles directly in the Phoenix metro manufacturing corridor.
Which companies hire packaging engineers in Arizona?
Employers hiring packaging engineers in Arizona right now include Intel Corporation, Intel, and ASM, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's concentration of consumer goods, electronics, and pharmaceutical manufacturers means packaging engineering roles here tend to sit within larger multi-site operations rather than small local firms.
Which Arizona cities have the most packaging engineer jobs?
Phoenix and Tempe account for the most packaging engineer openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates due to its density of food and beverage producers, electronics manufacturers, and distribution centers, while Tucson's defense and medical device sectors drive steady demand, and Goodyear and Avondale have grown as major logistics and consumer goods manufacturing hubs attract larger operations to the West Valley.
Are there remote packaging engineer jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Packaging engineering is largely a hands-on role involving materials testing, production line coordination, and prototype validation that requires on-site presence. About 0% of packaging engineer openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically cover project management, supplier qualification, or documentation-heavy compliance work rather than hands-on development.
How can I get hired as a packaging engineer in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for packaging technician or associate packaging engineer roles at Arizona's large food, beverage, or consumer goods manufacturers, where structured new-graduate programs exist. Companies operating high-volume facilities in the Phoenix metro often hire from Arizona State University's engineering talent pipeline for junior roles. Earning a Certified Packaging Professional associate credential and building a portfolio of packaging design projects strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to packaging engineer jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to packaging engineer jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across the state's manufacturing, consumer goods, and pharmaceutical sectors. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the employers posting them.
