Environment

The post-doctoral position will be accomplished within the BATir (Building, Architecture & Town planning) department of the Brussels School of Engineering/´Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles, at the Universit´e Libre de Bruxelles (http://batir.ulb.ac.be ). Duration of the position: 18 months, starting in April 2012.

Profile

The applicant should hold a PhD in computational mechanics. Additional competences in numerical optimization, and structural finite elements, as well as programming skills (in MATLAB, PYTHON, C++, or any equivalent programming anguage) will be highly appreciated.

Packaging mechanical engineers conduct simulation of electronic packages
to optimize package design for compatibility with assembly processes
and for reliable operation in end user systems such as servers, game
consoles and network switches. Simulation is conducted using commercial
finite element software such as ANSYS or ABAQUS to predict package
component stresses and strains. Simulations are verified by measurements
of warpage and stresses / strains in the packages using Digital image
contrast, strain gages, capacitance meters, etc. Package material
properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion, Poisson ratio and
modulus that are required for simulation are measured using specialized
mechanical equipment. Thus, familiarity with numerical simulation

Hi,

I'm an Engineer and a Ph.D. student in Applied Maths, working in the field of Nonlinear Finite Elements for Elasticity. I often think about my future career since, by now, I have a strong experience with coding FE in C++/Matlab/Mathematica, but no clue whatsoever about commercial black-box softwares for FEA. I'm worried about this, since most of the job vacancies from the industry (I'm not interested in pursuing the Academic career) seem to require only experience with a specific software and application, and not to directly code FE.

Hello - trying AGAIN to get this to post. I'm seeking applicants with computational mechanics background for new work in security applications. Areas include blast, failure, acoustics, and related fields. Security requirements dictate that we must have US citizens for this work - sorry, I know that's restrictive. Please feel free to email me at cipolla@wai.com for inquiries and details.
