In the Global Products Group, we are dedicated to excellence in the design and engineering ofLam'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.

As a Systems Engineer 4 at Lam, you will lead system definition and cross-functional integration for complex semiconductor equipment, including processing modules, and cluster tool architectures. You will serve as a key technical interface between process engineering and multidisciplinary development teams, helping translate product vision into clear requirements, robust architectures, and executable verification strategies. This role requires strong systems thinking, independent technical judgment, and the ability to drive alignment from concept through release.

• Serve as a primary systems engineering point of contact between process engineering and cross-functional teams, including mechanical, electrical, controls, reliability, manufacturing, facilities, and software engineering.
• Lead technical scoping and systems engineering planning for new products, technology changes, and subsystem enhancements, including drafting and maintaining a Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), defining work products, technical reviews, traceability, and verification approach.
• Translate customer, product, process, safety, and business needs into clear system, controls, and software requirements and functional specifications using INCOSE-aligned systems engineering practices.
• Develop and maintain system architecture, theory of operation, functional breakdowns, interface definitions, and architecture options for process modules and cluster tools.
• Drive architecture trade studies, gap and risk analysis, and closure planning to support sound technical decisions and design maturity.
• Generate and coordinate key systems engineering work products, including system documents, P&IDs, device lists, interconnects, signal lists, SW functional specifications and other interface and integration artifacts.
• Support cluster tool design through system-level analysis such as wafer flow and throughput modeling, productivity analysis, and facilities definition.
• Lead or coordinate safety and reliability activities, including hazard analysis, interlock definition, and FMEA.
• Define test, verification, and validation plans and work across…
