The group you'll be a part of
This position is part of Lam Research's Global Products Group within the Wet Equipment Technology Systems organization. The WETs team develops advanced wet-processing equipment for semiconductor manufacturing. You will work in a collaborative New Product Development environment with Systems, Mechanical, Controls, Software, Process, Manufacturing, and Service Engineering teams to develop and deliver next-generation semiconductor equipment. The impact you'll make
As an Electrical Engineer II, you will contribute to the design, development, integration, and validation of electrical systems used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment. You will work with experienced engineers to develop electrical hardware, machine controls, power distribution, and industrial automation solutions. You will apply electrical engineering fundamentals, participate in hands-on system integration and troubleshooting, and build your system-level engineering capabilities through involvement in the complete product development lifecycle. What you'll do
- Design and develop electrical subsystems, control panels, cable assemblies, and electrical interfaces for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable drawings, bills of material, specifications, and related engineering documentation.
- Support the integration of industrial controllers, distributed I/O, power supplies, sensors, actuators, motors, drives, and other electrical components.
- Assist with the development and integration of industrial communication networks, including EtherCAT-based control systems.
- Translate defined system and subsystem requirements into electrical designs with guidance from senior engineers.
- Perform engineering calculations and analyses to support component selection, power distribution, load requirements, signal interfaces, and circuit protection.
- Participate in electrical and cross-functional design reviews.
- Collaborate with Systems, Mechanical, Controls, Software, Process, Manufacturing, and Service Engineering teams to resolve interface and integration issues.
- Perform hands-on laboratory testing, equipment integration, design verification, and troubleshooting.
- Use electrical test equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, and protocol diagnostic tools.
- Collect and analyze test data to evaluate design performance and support design improvements.
- Assist with root-cause investigations using structured problem-solving methods such as 5-Why, fishbone analysis, and 8D.
- Support prototype builds, system integration, manufacturing readiness, and product release activities.
- Process engineering changes and maintain accurate product documentation throughout the development lifecycle.
- Apply applicable electrical safety, regulatory, and internal design requirements under the guidance of senior engineers.
- Incorporate design-for-safety, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost considerations into assigned work.
- Communicate technical results through clear reports, presentations, and design-review materials.
