We do so by accelerating breakthroughs at the intersection of AI and semiconductors.\nFounded in 2024 by AI researchers and physicists with deep expertise in photonics, electronics, software, mathematics, and machine learning, Arago brings together a lean team of engineers and scientists from the world’s top companies and research labs.\nComposed of nine nationalities and operating from hubs in France, North America, and Israel, we believe in great science and fast achievements. Our work is guided by these core principles:\nDo great things: we deliver work we’re proud to sign our name to.\n\nHigh velocity: speed matters. We move quickly, one step at a time.\n\nOne unit: we’re all in this together, with relationships grounded in trust, respect, and camaraderie.\n\nArago is backed by executives from Apple, Arm, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Hugging Face, as well as prominent US and European deeptech venture firms and exited founders.\nWhat you’ll do\nAs a Senior Packaging Engineer, you will lead IC packaging initiatives from conceptualization and design to manufacturing process selection. You will establish the necessary supply chain, manage sub-contractors, and oversee the NPI and ramp-up phases for current and future Arago devices.\nRequired Skills and Experience\nMaster's degree in Electrical Engineering or Integrated Circuits Design.\n\n5+ years of experience in the semiconductor and photonic packaging industry.\n\nProficiency in heterogeneous integration and packaging processes, including wafer dicing (stealth, blade, diamond scribing), high-density Cu pillars and advanced bumping, flip-chip, redistribution layer and encapsulation (thermal lid, compression molding, glob-top), die attach and bonding techniques (epoxy, attach film, reflow, thermocompression, eutectic, laser-assisted bonding, Cu-Cu direct bonding), wirebonding, and 2.5D/3D integration schemes (back grinding, TSV reveal, die stacking, interposer).\n\nStrong expertise in photonic and optoelectronic packaging and micro-scale optical alignment, including passive and active alignment of lenses and optical fibers, fine die placement (precision < 1µm), and experience with InP, GaAs, and other non-Si semiconductors.\n\nProficiency in thermal, mechanical, and EM simulations.\n\nStrong understanding of packaging industrialization, production flows, high-yield and scale manufacturing, failure analysis, and Six Sigma methodology is a plus.\n\nLanguage: English at a proficient level. French is a plus.\n\nResponsibilities\nDesign packaging solutions spanning from initial drawings and simulations to DFM.\n\nIdentify, vet, and manage external sub-contractors.\n\nCollaborate cross-functionally with IC design, optical, and PCB teams to align packaging specifications across domains.\n\nLead the chip industrialization process, ensuring high yield and Cpk.\n\nConduct thorough failure analysis and debugging.\n\nPay and benefits\nCompetitive cash compensation, with final package based on location, experience, and the pay of team members in similar positions.\n\nMeaningful stock option plan offered at the earliest stage of the company (included in the majority of full time offers).\n\nRelocation bonus and coverage of moving expenses for relocation within 20 minutes of the company’s location.\n\nHealthcare coverage (including family-friendly options), pension contributions, professional development support, and 25 days of PTO, in addition to public holidays.\n\nOwnership of a key technical domain, with significant vertical and/or horizontal growth opportunities, based on performance and individual drive.\n\nReimbursement of 50% of the public transport subscription fee.\n\nA high-paced, multicultural (with 10 nationalities), and engineering-led environment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3841,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Growth opportunities","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:59:09Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.688,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":140,"expected_fill_days":76,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/arago-senior-packaging-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/arago-senior-packaging-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T19:03:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29353,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":173018},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=173018"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Farago-senior-packaging-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Farago-senior-packaging-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Farago-senior-packaging-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/arago-senior-packaging-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Farago-senior-packaging-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":447454}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"arago.inc","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":447454},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
