About The Position

Lam Research is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineering Manager to lead its Electrical Engineering Systems Integration team in the Etch Product Group. The team supports development of next-generation semiconductor process equipment and is responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and releasing complex electrical systems and subsystems. Its scope includes I/O and control systems, AC/DC power distribution, embedded systems, electrical and electronic subsystems, and designs at the discrete-circuit and PCBA level. The manager provides technical and organizational leadership across the product development lifecycle, including system requirements, design approaches, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and technical decisions. The role collaborates with multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, and partner organizations to ensure electrical designs meet system-level functional, performance, reliability, and operational requirements. The manager also develops the organization’s technical capabilities by mentoring engineers and technical leaders and advancing engineering methods, tools, processes, and training. The position’s salary range for applicants who reside or work onsite in the California San Francisco Bay Area is $146,000–$311,000. Salary offers depend on factors including location, level, education, training, skills, experience, and internal comparisons. Lam describes a range of work-location models, including hybrid On-site Flex and Virtual Flex options, based on role needs; the specific model for this role is not stated.
