TL;DR · Product Engineer 5

The Product Engineer 5 role within the Supplier Engineering & Technology (SET) group at Lam Research involves leading advanced manufacturing technology development and supplier execution for critical components in semiconductor process equipment. This position works closely with suppliers to ensure they can consistently manufacture parts that meet Lam’s design intent, quality requirements, and delivery needs. Day-to-day responsibilities include supplier qualification, process readiness, quality performance management, and issue resolution across new product introduction (NPI) and high-volume manufacturing (HVM). The ideal candidate will have a strong background in materials science, mechanical engineering, or chemical engineering, with extensive experience in advanced manufacturing technologies such as machining, joining, coatings, fabrication, welding, and the use of metal and ceramic materials. Proficiency in statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), root cause corrective action (RCCA), and 8D problem-solving methodologies is essential. Additionally, candidates should possess hands-on experience in semiconductor or high-tech manufacturing and be capable of managing suppliers to enhance quality, yield, delivery, and process stability.

What you'll do

  • - Lead advanced manufacturing technology development for critical semiconductor equipment components.
  • - Ensure suppliers meet Lam’s design intent, quality requirements, and delivery needs consistently.
  • - Own technical execution at suppliers, including qualification, process readiness, and issue resolution.
  • - Apply expertise in machining, joining, coatings, fabrication, welding, and advanced materials to support product release.
  • - Serve as a technical authority for manufacturability, quality, and performance of high-tech components.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering with 12 years of experience or higher-level degrees with fewer years.
  • Extensive product development and supplier engagement experience in capital equipment industries.
  • Hands-on expertise in advanced manufacturing processes like welding, brazing, bonding, and coatings.
  • Proficiency in statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), and problem-solving methodologies.
  • Strong analytical, project management, and communication skills for global cross-functional collaboration.
  • Experience managing suppliers to enhance quality, yield, delivery, and process stability in high-tech manufacturing.
