Mechanical Engineer 2

Overview

Mechanical Engineer 2 in the Hardware group at Lam Research, designing and defining cutting-edge mechanical and electro-mechanical systems for semiconductor capital equipment, from feasibility through detailed design and fabrication.

What you'll do

• Lead mechanical and electromechanical product development from concept through release and sustaining engineering.
• Translate system, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost requirements into robust design solutions.
• Develop concepts, perform trade-off studies, and create detailed 3D models, drawings, BOMs, and specifications.
• Apply engineering analysis including structural, thermal, vibration, fluid, and gas flow evaluations to optimize designs.
• Perform or support FEA and other simulations to assess performance and mitigate technical risks.
• Select appropriate materials, manufacturing processes, coatings, and surface treatments based on application requirements.
• Apply GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM, DFA, and Design-to-Cost principles.
• Develop and execute feasibility studies, validation plans, and engineering tests.
• Analyse characterization and validation data and drive design improvements.
• Support prototype builds, qualification, release, and engineering change implementation.
• Investigate product and field issues using structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on quality, reliability, performance, manufacturability, and cost.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and global stakeholders.
• Present technical solutions, risks, analyses, and validation results during design reviews.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering with 5+ years of relevant product development experience, or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of relevant product development experience.
• Experience in mechanical design, engineering analysis, product validation, and manufacturing processes.
• Working knowledge of Teamcenter (TCE) / PLM, including BOM management, engineering change management (ECR/ECO), product release, and document control.
• Experience with PLM automation, workflow development, scripting, or digital engineering process improvements.

Nice to have
