Job description

The Group You’ll Be A Part Of

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 Impact You’ll Make

As an RF Engineer at Lam, you play a crucial role in designing, building, and troubleshooting cutting-edge radio frequency (RF) solutions for power delivery and plasma generation in our Etch and Deposition products. You specialize in utilizing RF as a power source and creating innovative generator designs. Your work paves the way for new power sources to be used in Lam's wafer fabrication equipment.

What You’ll Do

The RF Engineer designs, develops, modifies, and evaluates electronic parts, components, or integrated circuitry for electronic equipment, other hardware systems, and electrical engineering applications. They determine design approaches and parameters, analyze equipment to establish operating data, conduct experimental tests, and evaluate results. They select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. Additionally, they may review vendor capabilities to support product development.

1. You will be responsible for performing professional electrical engineering research, design, development, modification, and evaluation in support of electrical and electro-mechanical systems/subsystems.
2. You will work with a multidisciplinary engineering design team: electrical, mechanical, software, process, technical support, and suppliers, on the design and modification of custom and OEM embedded systems components.
3. You will need to prepare and analyze test plans and procedures to ensure that technical and operational requirements are met and properly demonstrated.
4. You will be responsible for the collection and analysis of pertinent material and data in preparation for your presentation at design, project, and program reviews.
5. Primarily responsible for the design, selection, testing, and documentation of RF delivery systems (100kHz to 100MHz; Watt to KiloWatt ranges).

Who We’re Looking For

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree with 2+ years of related work experience; or an advanced degree without experience; or equivalent work experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Must have experience with complex RF measurement equipment (Power Meters, Network Analyzers, Impedance Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, etc.).
• Familiarity with high voltage (>1KV) design rules/practices DC – 100MHz is also desired.
• SPICE, LabView, MathCAD or MatLab, and analysis tools (e.g., HFSS, Comsol, Microwave Studio) experience is preferred.
• Experience in or fundamental knowledge of plasma processing, plasma sources, and plasma loads is a plus.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
• Outstanding analysis and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to drive functional requirements and execute in a dynamic team environment.

Our Commitment

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.
