Searching for talented and motivated individuals to join the Global Velocity Lab Engineering team at Lam Research. This is a small concept and feasibility (C&F) group of mixed disciplines focused on evaluating and advancing industry disrupting technology to enhance Lam's product portfolio in the next 3-5yrs. Candidates who learn quickly, exhibit strong initiative, innovation, agility, analytical skills, and logical problem solving will excel as a part of this team.

• Lead small to large scale C&F design projects, including conceptualization, complex component and assembly design, analysis, documentation, and test/validation of semiconductor chamber hardware to support C&F project deliverables.
• Conducts feasibility studies and testing on new and modified designs.
• Engage key stakeholders effectively with clear communication of objectives, plans, tradeoffs, risks, and key decisions.
• Lead support resources (ex: offshore design drafting, lab technicians, etc) to complete project deliverables.
• Work with suppliers to source OEM parts and/or ensure in-house designed parts can be manufactured in accordance with performance and cost objectives.
• Utilize system documentation (component/assy specs, drawings, P&IDs, interconnectdiagrams, BOMs, etc) and best practices in root cause analysis to troubleshoot issues, and/orretrofit/modify/integrate sub systems for C&F testing as required.
• Ensures produced documentation is consistent with SEMI, Lam Standards and other standards as applicable. (ANSI, DIN etc.)
• Work with cross functional team members to validate new hardware or system design against hardware specifications or expected behavior.
• Develop test plans, test fixtures, and perform testing to characterize system hardware performance and identify opportunities for improvements.
• Generate FMEA/risk mitigation assessments.
• Lead/perform failure analysis if/when required.
• Present detailed designs, test results, and conclusions in design/program/executive reviews.
• Define, document and communicate installation and operating procedures to engineers with variety of technical backgrounds.
• Hardware/lab-centric on-site flex position. Expect an average of 3 days/wk on site/in-lab with opportunity to work up to 2 days/wk remotely with manager approval as project deliverablesallow.
• Lam aims to provide remote work flexibility to the extent possible but a significant portion of this role will require on-site in-lab presence.
