As a Mechanical Engineer within Lam Manufacturing Engineering team, you will design and develop custom tooling and fixtures that enable efficient, safe, and repeatable assembly and test of semiconductor equipment. Your role will directly support manufacturing operations by delivering robust, manufacturable, and cost-effective solutions that meet performance, safety, and quality standards.

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of mechanical systems and custom tooling/fixtures for handling, assembly, and testing of components and assemblies.
• Support full product lifecycle: conceptualization, CAD modeling, analysis, documentation, procurement, prototyping, and validation.
• Perform detailed engineering analyses, including FEA, thermal, stress, vibration, fluid/gas dynamics, and manufacturability.
• Ensure designs align with industry standards such as SEMI and GD&T, as well as internal company design and safety requirements.
• Develop and execute feasibility studies and test plans to validate design performance.
• Collaborate with suppliers and cross-functional teams to ensure manufacturability, quality, and cost optimization.
• Prepare and present technical reports and design reviews to communicate design intent and validation results.
• Deliver key product development artifacts, including FMEA, risk analysis, technical specifications, and test documentation.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to establishing engineering best practices.

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or related field with 5+ years of related experience; or Master's degree with 3+ years; or a PhD withoutexperience; or equivalent work experience.
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools (e.g., CREO, Siemens NX, Inventor, SolidWorks).
• Excellent communication and technical presentation skills.
• Hands-on design and experimental background with solid engineering fundamentals.
• Project management skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Knowledge of industry standards (SEMI, ANSI, DIN) and best practices in GD&T and DFM.

We're seeking a highly skilled and motivated Mechanical Engineer with a passion for solving complex engineering challenges through innovative tooling and fixture design. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, brings strong technical expertise, and enjoys collaborating across disciplines to deliver high-impact solutions.

You are someone who:

• Has a deep understanding of mechanical design principles and hands-on experience with CAD modeling and engineering analysis.
• Is detail-oriented and committed to delivering designs that are safe, manufacturable, and cost-effective.
• Communicates clearly and confidently, whether presenting technical concepts or collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Enjoys mentoring others and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and engineering excellence.
• Is proactive, organized, and capable of managing multiple projects and priorities effectively.
• If you're excited by the opportunity to directly influence the production of cutting-edge semiconductor equipment and help shape the future of manufacturing at Lam, we'd love to hear from you.

• Experience developing production support equipment for semiconductor manufacturing or other high-tech industries, including assembly fixtures, test stands, and handling solutions.
• Understanding of factory operations and production workflows, including ergonomics, maintenance, and design for manufacturability.
• Background in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments, supporting new product development with the introduction of custom tooling or capital equipment.
• Familiarity with MS Office and engineering documentation standards.
