Electrical Engineer

Electrical Engineer - Full Time Job Opportunity

Who We Are:

Arieca is leading the commercialization of easy to deploy liquid metal embedded elastomer (LMEE) technologies, which enable unprecedented performance in applications across semiconductor, electronics, automotive, and healthcare industries. Our TIMbberTM product line targets leading semiconductor thermal interface material (TIM) challenges. As a CMU spin-out, venture-backed company, we are expanding our team to bring our lab innovations to market.

What We Need:

Arieca is looking for an Electrical Engineer who will join our Hardware R&D team to assist the successful market introduction of our thermal interface materials (TIM). Responsibilities include design and prototyping of thermal test vehicles and their data acquisition systems, in addition to designing and implementing experiments to test hypotheses on understanding the thermo-mechanical properties of semiconductor interfaces in packaged electronics (smartphones, laptops, GPUs). You will be designing thermal test vehicles from scratch, so strong organizational, analytical and communication skills are required. Engagement with external vendors and ecosystem partners is possible.

You will be working with a team of highly motivated and ambitious individuals with a diverse background of exceptional scientific, entrepreneurial, and industrial experiences. This position offers competitive salary and benefits including healthcare, flexible PTO, stock options, and 401(k) matching.

Key Requirements:

Minimum of 1-3 years of experience working in industry or an academic research laboratory.

Proficient in eCAD software (Altium, KiCad, Autodesk EAGLE, etc.), for designing (thermal) test vehicles, semiconductor packages/substrates (flip-chip, BGA, LGA, etc.), or data acquisition systems.

Familiar with designing GUIs for data acquisition systems in Python, C++, or Java. Significant skills designing GUIs in LabView can substitute here.

Meticulous organizational skills, attention to detail, and pride in producing high-quality work.

Bachelor of Science or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent degrees.

Nice to Have:

Familiarity with thermal science, ideally including material characterization (e.g. ASTM D5470, thermal test vehicles).

Rapid prototyping and machine shop experience.

Experience in semiconductor industry, nondestructive testing, thermal engineering, or reliability engineering.

Arieca is committed to principles of diversity and inclusion, and encourages candidates to apply even if they do not exhibit all of the above-mentioned characteristics
