Job Description

As an R&D Engineer/Scientist at Solstice, you will play a critical role in developing next-generation materials and solutions that enable advanced semiconductor packaging and high-performance computing applications. You will lead the design, development, characterization, and commercialization of innovative advanced semiconductor packaging technologies, partnering closely with customers, cross-functional teams, and external partners to solve complex heat management challenges.

You will report directly to the Senior Manager R&D (Applications Development) and work closely with customers, marketing, manufacturing, technical services, and product development organizations. In this role, you will serve as both a technical expert and strategic partner, translating market needs into scalable product solutions that create value for customers and drive growth for Solstice.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the development and commercialization of materials and technologies for advanced semiconductor packaging from concept through scale-up and commercial launch.
  • Partner directly with customers to understand technical challenges, provide applications support, and identify opportunities for new product development.
  • Generate applications data through simulation, modeling, and experimental testing to solve chip-level and package-level thermal management challenges.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, manufacturing, quality, marketing, and technical services to transition new technologies into commercial production.
  • Establish material specifications and qualification requirements to support manufacturing readiness and customer adoption.
  • Apply statistical analysis, Design of Experiments (DOE), and engineering methodologies to optimize product performance and process capability.
  • Partner with external suppliers, research organizations, and industry partners to support technology development and roadmap alignment.
  • Communicate technical findings, business recommendations, and strategic opportunities to senior leadership, customers, and external stakeholders.

Qualifications

MUST HAVE

  • Master’s degree (Ph.D. preferred) in Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, or Chemistry
  • 3+ years of hands-on industry or research experience in packaging module development involving innovative assembly materials—such as underfills, molding compounds, adhesives, and substrates—to enable next-generation semiconductor technologies like 2.5D/3D integration.
  • Proven experience in customer engagement by bridging R&D with customer needs, by being a technical liaison to the market across a broad range of products and technologies.

WE VALUE

  • Technical expertise: deep knowledge of advanced packaging architectures like flip-chip, 2.5D/3D stacking, wafer-level packaging, and heterogeneous integration. Good understanding how foundries (factories that build wafers) and OSATs (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test facilities) build and test packages. Strong knowledge of structure-property-performance correlations in polymers/metals and familiarity with failure analysis tools (SEM, X-Ray, CSAM).
  • Customer Interface: Act as the technical expert to help clients optimize polymers, adhesives, and metals that hold micro-chips together. Partner with the customer in product selection and qualification in their application.
  • Strategic Planning: Ability to turn complex customer problems into scalable, market-leading solutions which create value.
  • Collaboration: demonstrated ability to partner with cross-functional teams involving Synthesis & Formulation R&D, manufacturing, quality and technical services to scale prototype concepts into high-volume mass production.
  • Communication skills: strong ability to present complex technical data clearly to clients and internal teams.
