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 a 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 Lam's wafer fabrication equipment.

What You’ll Do

  • Contributes to research and development efforts for future products and technology by collecting and analyzing data to improve electrical system designs.
  • Performs professional RF electrical engineering research, design, development, modification, and evaluation in support of electrical and electro-mechanical subsystems, embedded systems, and power distribution.
  • Works within a multidisciplinary engineering design team (Firmware, FPGA, Mechanical, Electrical) to specify, design and modify custom and OEM system components.
  • Works with suppliers to prepare detailed design, prototype fabrication, design testing/verification, and manage production release.
  • Prepares and analyze test plans and procedures to assure that technical and operational requirements are met and can be properly demonstrated.
  • Responsible for the collection and analysis of pertinent material and data in preparation of your presentation at design, project, and program reviews.
  • Leads focused cross functional teams, initiatives, and is a resource and mentor to other colleagues.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Primarily responsible for design/selection, testing and documentation of RF delivery systems .
  • Must have hands-on experience with complex RF measurement equipment: Power Meters, Network and Spectrum Analyzers, oscilloscopes, field strength meters, etc.
  • Experience with RF/uW generator/source, impedance matching networks, transmission lines, and antennas.
  • Technical working experience: 100 KHz to 100 MHz, single Watt to Kilowatt ranges, and high voltage DC delivery.
  • Familiar with high voltage (> 10 KV) and high current (> 100 Arms) design rules; arcing, tracking, heat, and parasitic.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Outstanding analysis and trouble-shooting skills.
  • Ability to drive functional requirements and execute in a dynamic team environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with semiconductor capital equipment or related industrial equipment industry experience.
  • Experience with Rf simulation suites: SPICE, ADS, LabView, MathCAD, MatLab, and analysis tools (i.e. – HFSS, Comsol, Maxwell).
  • Appreciates learning and understanding challenges and limitations within other disciplines on system designs.
  • Working knowledge of industry standards:  SEMI, NFPA79, NEC, UL, EN, IEC, ETG, etc.
  • Willingness to travel to international locations.
