What you’ll do

• Leverage industry experience from monitor/panel/displays for semiconductor process zone control applications.
• Develop a precision system for the fine control of current distribution at the pixel level.
• Utilize a working understanding of TFT and OLED designs to influence future device level designs.
• Support the manufacturing and fabrication process of these elements.
• Implement calibration algorithms for device uniformity.
• Operate as a project owner with a high level of autonomy and lead multidisciplinary projects.
• Review complex problem statements and generate solutions. Identify and lead the effort of selecting the best solution.
• Design and develop highly complex electrical systems, sub-systems, and/or solutions, applying engineering methods to design.
• Design systems compliant to Lam and industry standards (SEMI, NFPA-79, etc.).
• Lead research and development efforts by collecting and analyzing data to improve system designs.
• Prepare high‑quality reports and technical presentations to clearly communicate design intent, analysis, and results to diverse audiences in design reviews.
• Network with senior internal and external personnel.
• Work within Lam systems for product lifecycle management: part creation, detailed documentation, release, and review processes.
• Supplier management for critical parts and application as necessary.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 8+ years of experience; or Master’s degree with 6+ years of experience; or equivalent experience.
• A good working understanding of panel/display technology
  • Experience with architecture, circuit, and control at the pixel level.
  • Experience with the manufacturing and fabrication process at the device level.
  • Calibration algorithms and methodologies
• Hands‑on experience in circuit design (analog, digital) and controls theory.
• System level understanding of electrical architecture, system integration, and applications.
• Strong communicator: oral, written, and presentation skills in English.
• Experience in troubleshooting with problem‑solving techniques like 5‑why, 8D, fishbones, etc.
• Has excellent system level understanding of electrical architecture, design of IO controllers and applications.
• Proficient in power panel electrical circuit design with safety interlocks & 3‑phase load analysis.
• Knowledge of applicable electrical related standards like UL, CE, IEC, SEMI, NFPA‑79.
• Able to effectively communicate complex subject matter to non‑technical individuals.
• Proficient at troubleshooting systems with oscilloscopes, analyzers, DVM, and log analysis.
• Knowledgeable in CAD tools for circuit design and simulation (e.g., PCAD, ORCAD, ZUKEN, AutoCAD, Spice).
• Driven individual that will model Lam Core Values.
• Experience in product development and release.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in power distribution and/or control system design of industrial manufacturing tools.
• Previous experience in the design of Semiconductor Manufacturing tools.
• Experienced in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and low voltage circuit design for power and control applications.
• Familiarity with FPGA design (VHDL/Verilog), synthesis, and simulation.
• Ability to define functional requirements and execute in a dynamic team environment.
• Mechanically inclined. Comfortable using hand‑tools and constructing items beyond the scope of electrical engineering in projects.
• Familiar with design for serviceability, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Experience with anisotropic electrical connection methodologies and conformal coating.
