Lam Research - WETs Product Group in Tualatin, Oregon

As a Systems Engineer IV ,you will serve as the Lead Systems Engineer for a nextgeneration semiconductor manufacturing tool. You will join the program early in its lifecycle and play a critical role in defining the system architecture, requirements, and integration strategy that guide the design from concept through production.

In this highly visible role, you will act as the systemlevel technical owner and integrator, working across mechanical, electrical, software, controls, mechatronics, and process engineering teams. Your work will directly reduce integration risk, accelerate development, and ensure delivery of a robust, scalable, and manufacturable product to our customers.

• Serve as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for systemlevel technical coordination across Software, Electrical Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics, Mechanical, and Process disciplines.
• Provide systemlevel technical direction, ensuring alignment across teams and proactively identifying gaps, risks, and integration issues.
• Influence and lead without formal authority, driving closure of crossfunctional technical actions and decisions.
• Partner closely with Program Management, Product Management, and Technical Owners to balance scope, cost, schedule, and performance.

• Own the toplevel system specification and architecture, ensuring alignment with product requirements, customer needs, and stakeholder expectations.
• Define the system from concept through production readiness, including problem statements, system needs, stakeholder and usecase analysis, system boundaries, functional allocation, and lifecycle considerations.
• Decompose the system into functional subsystems with clear Subsystem Functional Specifications, defined interfaces, and allocated error budgets and design margins.
• Maintain accountability for the system P&ID, interconnect definitions, and signal lists (port maps).
• Review and approve Interface Control Documents (ICDs) between key subsystems.

• Own and author the System Theory of Operation, describing how the system functions as an integrated whole.
• Guide and consult on the development of functional specifications, highlevel BOM structures, and engineering documentation supporting product requirements and options.
• Be accountable for systemlevel validation and test reports.
• Consult on Certificates of Analysis (COA), Lam Quality Data (LQD) specifications, and identification of Critical Value parts for key POR subtasks.

• Consult in the development of subsystemlevel test plans and own validation of systemlevel test plans.
• Review and approve test results against system and subsystem requirements.
• Ensure designs meet DFx criteria (reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, safety, and cost) across the full product lifecycle.
• Own and approve Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) at the system level.
• Drive early identification and mitigation of integration, reliability, and performance risks.

You are a systems thinker who thrives in complex, multidisciplinary environments and enjoys shaping products from early concept through execution. You bring deep technical expertise in at least one engineering discipline, a strong systems perspective, and the ability to lead through influence.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related field with 8+ years of experience, or
• Master's degree with 6+ years of experience, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or controls design for large, complex manufacturing systems.
• Demonstrated experience leading or owning systemlevel design, integration, and validation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts across disciplines.
• Proven ability to work with minimal guidance, manage ambiguity, and drive complex projects to completion.
• Strong analytical, problemsolving, and troubleshooting skills applied to complex systems.

• Experience with semiconductor manufacturing equipment (wet processing, deposition, etch, or related platforms).
• Handson experience with system integration, debug, and validation in a new product development environment.
• Familiarity with systemlevel reliability allocation, DFx tradeoffs, and lifecycle cost considerations.
• Experience authoring system specifications, P&IDs, ICDs, and validation documentation.
• Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to systems engineering best practices.

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.
