Wet Equipment and Technology Solutions is an exciting, rapidly evolving field as the semiconductor industry’s dependence on wafer-level packaging solutions continues to grow with consumer needs such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and super-computing. The Process Critical team is responsible for some of the most critical hardware with the closest proximity to the wafer and the largest impact on plating performance. Our team partners closely with process engineering and customer account teams to deliver world-class hardware solutions for our customers. The team is seeking someone with a passion for engineering, strong analytical skills and attention to detail while keeping work fun and collaborative.\nThe impact you’ll make\nAs a Mechanical Engineer 2 in the WETS Product Group, you will contribute directly to the continuous improvement of plating cell hardware for wet plating process equipment on the Sabre and Sabre 3D products. Your work will support critical customer engagements, shaping mechanical designs that meet performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability goals. In this role, you will translate system-level and subsystem requirements into robust mechanical solutions, working closely with Systems, Process, Electrical, Controls, and Key Account Team partners. Your contributions will help reduce development risk, accelerate schedules, and enable high-quality products to reach customers on time. This is an execution-focused role with meaningful ownership, where strong fundamentals and good engineering judgment make a visible impact on product success.\nWhat you’ll do\nDesign and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems for complex semiconductor manufacturing equipment.\nTranslate subsystem-level requirements into detailed mechanical designs, layouts, and drawings.\nCreate and maintain 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, and engineering documentation in accordance with Lam standards.\nPerform engineering analysis (e.g., tolerance analysis, thermal-mechanical considerations, structural integrity) to support design decisions.\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams including Systems, Process, Electrical, Controls, Software, and Manufacturing Engineering to ensure successful subsystem integration.\nSupport NPI phase-gate activities (Pre-DR, DDR, CDR, FDR) by delivering assigned mechanical design milestones on schedule.\nParticipate in design reviews, risk assessments, and failure analysis, contributing to DFMEA and corrective action efforts.\nWork with external Supply Chain partners to ensure designs are manufacturable, serviceable, and cost-effective.\nSupport prototype build, system integration, debug, and validation activities.\nContribute to sustaining engineering efforts and the field issue resolution as needed.\nWho we’re looking for\nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of experience; or an advanced degree without previous professional experience; or equivalent experience.\nExercises good judgment in mechanical design methods and evaluation criteria.\nCompletes tasks independently and recognizes when direction is needed.\nProficient in 3D CAD tools, preferably Creo and/or NX.\nSolid foundation in mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.\nAbility to read and interpret system requirements, drawings, and interface documentation.\nEffective problem-solving skills and attention to detail.\nEffective written and verbal communication skills.\nPreferred qualifications\nKnowledge of electroplating or the semiconductor industry at large is a plus.\nKnowledge of metal machining, plastics machining, elastomeric seals, and coating commodities.\nExperience collaborating with suppliers to test ideas, gather manufacturability feedback, and to maintain focus on timely execution of deliverables.\nUnderstanding of statistics and variability to ensure long-term part reliability.\nAble to develop accurate problem statements and evaluate solution options.\nAble to perform computational modeling, mainly for structural mechanics and fluid dynamics.\nOur commitment\nWe 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.\nLam Research (\"Lam\" or the \"Company\") is an equal opportunity employer.
