## About the Role

* MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or related field.
 * 2+ years of experience in MEMS design, mechanical design, or device development, ideally in an industrial environment.
 * Strong foundation in mechanics, structural dynamics, materials behavior, and physical modeling.
 * Experience with MEMS device design and simulation, including multi-physics analysis and interpretation of test data.
 * Experience working across design-process interfaces and manufacturability optimization.
 * Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently and in cross-disciplinary teams.

Preferred Experience

 * Hands-on experience in MEMS sensor or actuator design, including performance optimization.
 * Proficiency in data analysis and/or multi-physics simulation tools (JMP, ANSYS, COMSOL, etc.).
 * Understanding of reliability, packaging material, and its effects on design of MEMS products.

## Description

We are seeking a highly skilled MEMS Design Engineer to join our MEMS R&D team. This role is focused on the design, modeling, and optimization of MEMS devices, with an emphasis on mechanically driven structures for applications such as inertial and pressure sensors. The ideal candidate will work at the intersection of mechanical design, multi-physics simulation, fabrication, and validation to develop robust, high-performance MEMS products that meet demanding functional and manufacturability requirements.

Important Note: This role will be based out of ST's office in Chandler, AZ ONLY. The Austin office is not an option at this time.

Key Responsibilities

 * Conduct mechanical design and development of MEMS devices, from concept through validation and transfer to manufacturing.
 * Evaluate the impact of process variation, residual stress, packaging effects, and non-idealities on device performance and reliability.
 * Drive the iterative loop between design, simulation, fabrication, characterization, and design refinement
 * Collaborate closely with process integration, test, packaging, and ASIC teams to ensure design compatibility and system-level performance.
 * Support correlation between simulation, bench characterization, and production data to improve model accuracy and design robustness.
 * Use data analysis and simulation tools such as ANSYS, MATLAB/Simulink, and JMP to support design decisions and root-cause analysis.
