In the Global Products Group, we are dedicated to excellence in the design and engineering of Lam's etch and deposition products. We drive innovation to ensure our cutting-edge solutions are helping to solve the biggest challenges in the semiconductor industry.

The SEM Lab in Tualatin is committed to providing best-in-class microscopy services to support Lam's engineering and development efforts. Through technical development and continuous improvement we solve difficult analysis problems and leverage effeciences to increase our throughput and reduce our time to data.

The major responsibility is to prepare STEM samples using FEI/Thermo Fisher Helios dual beam FIB-SEM tools using ifast and AutoTEM software in an autonomy focused workflow.

Primary responsibility for this position is the preparation and imaging of samples in the Scanning Tran mission Electron Microscopy (STEM) using Thermofisher Helios systems. Additional responsibilities may include FIB-SEM analysis, EDS, and Critical Dimension SEM.

• Perform testing, check‑out, and troubleshooting using schematics, diagrams, descriptions, layouts, or defined test plans.
• Test and troubleshoot system‑level and component‑level issues in electrical and mechanical systems and sub‑systems.
• Inspect materials, components, or products for surface defects and measure circuitry using electronic test equipment, precision measuring instruments, microscopes, and standard procedures.
• Conduct operational testing and fault isolation on systems and equipment to help determine effective methods to remedy malfunctions.
• Use test and diagnostic equipment, including test programs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and specialized test apparatus.
• Collaborate with development engineers in creating, designing, testing, and troubleshooting prototypes and models.

• 0-2 years of experience with a BS degree in a physical science, or a specialized AS degree or equivalent professional training on materials science and analytical techniques.
• Position is shift work front end nights. Work days are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday. Schedule time is 5pm-5am.

• Experience operating dual beam FIB/SEM tools, especially in the preparation of thin lamella for STEM or TEM Imaging.
• Knowledge of the physics involved with FIB/SEM tools, such as vacuum systems, voltage/current effects, and ion sputtering behavior.

We believe it is important for every person to feel valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential. By bringing unique individuals and viewpoints together, we achieve extraordinary results.
