The impact you’ll make:
You will be part of the Product Option Architecture (POA) team. POA is an organizational representation of current and future products and options that Lam Research sells to our customers. The Product Structure Engineering team is a component of the POA organization and is responsible for managing the connection between available options in the POA and the Bill of Material (BOM).

This connection ensures the correct materials are driven through MRP to support customer‑selected configurations.

• Work with cross-functional teams (Product Managers, Project Managers, and Design Engineers) to determine additions or changes to available options and execute plans based on established milestones.
• Review engineering change orders (ECOs) for accuracy, set effectivity dates, and implement changes in the POA system.
• Ensure accuracy of modeling and programming against documented requests.
• Collaborate with others to validate BOM accuracy across various configurations prior to options being released to customers.
• Work with business partners to correct errors, including root cause investigation and implementation of corrective actions.
• Initiate and participate in continuous improvement projects (CIPs) to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the team.
• Provide training support to new business partners on the POA process, including roles and responsibilities.

• Bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 8 years of related experience; or 6 years with a Master’s degree; or 3 years with a PhD; or equivalent experience.
• Ability to interact and coordinate across diverse functions and organizational levels, including technical and non-technical teams, managers, and individual contributors.
• Demonstrated problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
• Knowledge of BOM structures and the engineering change process.
• Experience working with MRP systems.
