TL;DR · Engineering Technician - RF Systems 5

As an Engineering Technician 5 – RF Systems at Lam, you will join a dedicated R&D laboratory team to support the development of advanced semiconductor processing equipment by providing hands-on technical expertise in high-power RF systems. Your daily tasks include testing, calibrating, troubleshooting, and assembling complex electrical and electromechanical components using schematics and engineering guidance. You will utilize tools like VNAs, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to conduct detailed fault isolation and root cause analysis for system failures. Additionally, you will maintain lab equipment, document test results meticulously, and adhere strictly to safety protocols in a cleanroom environment. This role requires 6+ years of hands-on experience with RF systems and proficiency in using electronic test equipment, along with strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively under pressure managing multiple priorities.

What you'll do

  • Perform advanced testing, calibration, and troubleshooting of high-power RF systems using schematics and test plans.
  • Assemble and diagnose complex RF subsystems including matching networks, sensors, and power delivery components.
  • Conduct system-level and component-level fault isolation for electrical, mechanical, and RF failures.
  • Operate electronic and RF test equipment such as VNAs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, and power meters.
  • Support prototype bring-up, integration, modification, and validation in collaboration with development engineers.
  • Maintain accurate documentation including test results, procedures, build records, and troubleshooting notes.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of hands-on experience supporting electrical, RF, or semiconductor equipment in a lab environment.
  • Proficiency with high-power RF systems, including matching networks, sensors, and calibration techniques.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for system-level and component-level issues across various subsystems.
  • Experience using RF test equipment such as VNAs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, power meters, and DMMs.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
