Advanced Commercialization Engineer V

Advanced Commercialization Engineer V

Applied Materials is the global leader in materials science and engineering solutions that are at the foundation of virtually every new semiconductor chip and advanced display in the world. Join us and push the boundaries of materials science and engineering in a company at the foundation of the electronics industry. The work we do together advances the world's technology.

The Advanced Commercialization Engineer V for the New Product Commercial team is recognized as a technical authority within the organization driving early commercialization of first-in-world semiconductor equipment by shaping architecture, manufacturability, cost intent, and supply readiness before design lock.

Anticipates complex technical, commercial, and organizational challenges and drives system-level solutions with broad business impact.

Operates with significant autonomy across one or more strategic programs or platforms and shapes architecture, execution models, and supplier co-development approaches that materially influence cost, scalability, and time-to-market.

Provides enterprise-level technical program leadership and is accountable for influencing outcomes that materially impact cost structure, scalability, and time-to-market.

Education:

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related engineering discipline. Advanced knowledge of manufacturing process engineering, process economics, or systems engineering is a differentiating asset at this level.

Experience:

Typically 10–15+ years of progressive engineering experience in product development, DFx, commercialization, supplier engineering, or complex technical program leadership.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leads front-end commercialization strategy for complex or multiple new product programs, influencing architecture, platform decisions, and supplier engagement models.
• Leads enterprise-level DFx execution (DfM, DfA, DfC, DfS, DfR, ITO, transportability), establishing standards and ensuring consistent application across programs.
• Establishes early co-development models with strategic suppliers and Materials Program Management, ensuring supplier capability, material strategy, and design intent are jointly optimized during concept and architecture phases.
• Acts as senior technical authority and escalation point for complex mechanical and electrical design decisions affecting manufacturability, yield (producibility), serviceability, and cost.
• Defines and drives technical execution frameworks and operating models that translate early design intent into scalable, executable commercialization plans.
• Establishes and governs the approach for progressing commercialization and virtual validation when designs are incomplete, ensuring early decisions preserve architectural intent while enabling forward manufacturing and supplier strategies.
• Establishes the ACE operating model for MLO/Virtual Analysis execution under incomplete design maturity, including minimum content standards, decision gates, and escalation paths to prevent late-cycle surprises.
• Serves as the senior escalation point for ambiguous design intent impacting commercialization, driving cross-org alignment with Design Engineering and ensuring architecture decisions remain true to intent while enabling producibility, supply chain readiness, and scalable manufacturing strategy.
• Leads cross-functional technical alignment across Design Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, DFx, Materials, and Supplier Engineering organizations.
• Shapes supplier ecosystems and technical roadmaps, driving co-development strategies and long-term capability alignment with product platforms.
• Integrates manufacturing cost structures, process economics, and should-cost frameworks into front-end commercialization strategy; ensures product architecture and platform decisions are informed by manufacturing cost risk and supplier capability alignment before designs are committed. Partners with Product Cost Engineering to establish cost targets and DFx priorities at the program level.
• Identifies systemic technical, supplier, and execution risks across programs and drives…
