Multiphysics Simulation Expert

Your areas of impact You will drive simulation-driven engineering for highly demanding semiconductor equipment and become the central technical interface between mechanics, motion systems, vision, system engineering, process engineering and external technology partners. Your goal is not only to perform simulations but to enable better engineering decisions throughout the entire product development process.
• Develop and apply advanced multiphysics simulation methodologies for next-generation semiconductor equipment and processes
• Provide technical leadership for a future Simulation Competence Center
• Perform and coordinate simulations in areas such as:
• Structural mechanics / Material behaviour
• Dynamics and vibration / Motion systems
• Heat transfer and thermal management
• Coupled multiphysics problems
• Build simulation workflows that combine results across different domains and tools
• Support concept development, architecture decisions and root-cause investigations through simulation-driven insights
• Collaborate closely with Mechanical Design, Motion Engineering, Software, Process Development, Vision, Product Specialists and System Engineering teams
• Leverage and coordinate external simulation specialists, universities and technology partners
• Establish modelling standards, best practices and simulation governance across projects
• Mentor engineers and contribute to raising simulation competence across the organisation
• Coordinate and administrate Simulation Tools and Team Your capacity for excellence
• Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Engineering Physics, Applied Mathematics, Semiconductor Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• Several years of experience in advanced engineering simulation, system modelling and simulation-driven product development.
• Strong expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA/FEM), multiphysics simulation and system-level modelling of complex technical products.
• Experience with industry-standard simulation tools such as Ansys, Abaqus, COMSOL, Matlab/Simulink or comparable environments.
• Knowledge of digital twin approaches, model validation and simulation-based optimization is considered a strong advantage.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills combined with a systems-thinking mindset.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across disciplines and influence technical decisions through data-driven insights. Our commitment to nurturing your talents This position will play a key role in enabling the next generation of Besi equipment. You will help transform engineering development from a predominantly prototype-driven process into a simulation-driven, predictive engineering environment. Your work will directly influence platform architecture, development speed, product performance and technology innovation across future semiconductor manufacturing solutions. Your salary will be based on your qualifications and experience and will be discussed with you personally. The minimum salary is based on the collective agreement for employees in the metal industry.
