Full job description
The group you’ll be a part of
In the Global Products Group, we are dedicated to excellence in the design and engineering of Lam's etch and deposition products. We drive innovation to ensure our cutting-edge solutions are helping to solve the biggest challenges in the semiconductor industry.
The impact you’ll make
At Lam, as an Engineering Technician 5 – RF Systems, you will play a critical role in enabling RF and plasma technology development by providing advanced hands‑on technical support to engineering teams in an R&D laboratory environment. You will support the design, test, modification, assembly, and validation of high‑power RF, electrical, and electromechanical used in semiconductor processing equipment. Drawing from schematics, diagrams, procedures, and engineering guidance, you will independently troubleshoot complex system‑ and component‑level issues, perform fault isolation, and help determine effective corrective actions. Your technical depth, lab ownership, and execution discipline directly contribute to reliable, safe, and repeatable engineering development outcomes.
What you’ll do
Perform advanced testing, calibration, checkout, and troubleshooting of RF, electrical, electromechanical, and vacuum systems using schematics, layouts, and defined test plans. • Assemble, configure, test, and diagnose high‑power, high‑voltage RF subsystems, including matching networks, sensors, power delivery components, and associated electronics. • Conduct system‑level and PCBA‑level troubleshooting, fault isolation, and root cause analysis for electrical, mechanical, and RF failures. • Operate electronic and RF test equipment such as VNAs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, power meters, DMMs, and specialized diagnostic tools. • Inspect materials, components, and assemblies; perform precision measurements using microscopes and standard lab instrumentation. • Support prototype bring‑up, integration, modification, and validation in close collaboration with development engineers. • Assist engineering teams with experimental setups, data collection, and validation testing for concept, feasibility, and NPI activities. • Perform component‑level rework, repair, and replacement, including soldering and SMD rework, in compliance with lab and ESD standards. • Maintain accurate documentation including test results, procedures, build records, and troubleshooting notes. • Manage lab equipment, fixtures, and test infrastructure, including calibration tracking, asset organization, and safe operation. • Adhere to all safety, ESD, and cleanroom protocols when working with high‑voltage RF systems, hazardous materials, and vacuum equipment. • Communicate technical issues, progress, and results effectively with engineers, technicians, and cross‑functional stakeholders while managing multiple priorities.
Who we’re looking for
Minimum Qualifications
6+ years of related hands‑on experience supporting electrical, RF, electromechanical, or semiconductor equipment in a lab, manufacturing, or R&D environment.
Demonstrated experience with installation, maintenance, repair, testing, or troubleshooting of complex equipment or electronic systems.
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
Effective written and verbal communication skills in English.
Proficiency with computer‑based data systems, engineering tools, and Microsoft Office applications.
Ability to work a shift schedule and support hands‑on laboratory activities.
Preferred qualifications
Associate’s degree, technical certificate, diploma, or higher education in electronics, RF engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
Strong hands‑on experience with high‑power RF systems, RF matching networks, sensors, and calibration techniques.
Experience troubleshooting system‑level and component‑level issues across electrical, mechanical, fluidic, and vacuum subsystems.
Proficiency with RF and electronic test equipment including VNAs, oscilloscopes, signal generators, power meters, and DMMs.
Experience performing board‑level debug, component‑level repair, and soldering/SMD rework.
Familiarity with semiconductor capital equipment, RF power delivery systems, or plasma processing tools.
Experience supporting prototype development, validation testing, and New Product Introduction (NPI) activities.
Experience working in laboratory and/or cleanroom environments with appropriate safety and ESD controls.
Our commitment
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.
