Mechanical Engineer 2

Lam Research•Tualatin, OR

23h•Hybrid

About The Position

In this role, you will directly contribute to the performance and productivity of cutting-edge tools installed at our customers' fabs all over the world. When parts fail unexpectedly, or expectedly, you will determine why and how and develop and drive solutions to prove the impossible. This role is focused on field performance and tool uptime. It will rely heavily on materials analysis, mechanical performance, and root cause determination.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 2+ years of experience; or an advanced degree without previous professional experience; or equivalent experience.
Individuals in this role should possess a high degree of curiosity and strive to understand the why behind the observations while still being able to work on multiple projects concurrently.
Proficient in 3D CAD tools such as CREO, Siemens NX, ProE, SolidWorks, and others.
Hands-on experimental and design background coupled with solid engineering skills.
This is a graduate eligible role.

Nice To Haves

Excellent communication, both written and verbal, and technical presentation skills.
Experience in Semiconductor industry is a plus.
Experience in project management, or problem solving while managing time and multiple priorities.
Some prior experience in analytical techniques preferred. (i.e. SEM, XRD, EMPS, XPS)

Responsibilities

Support the full life cycle of mechanical and electro-mechanical systems from concept to productization including conceptualization, designing, CAD modeling, development, and test/validation.
Designs components using a variety of metals, ceramics, quartz, plastics, and advanced coatings.
Ensure documentation aligns with SEMI, Lam standards, and industry best practices for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
Conduct detailed analysis including structural, finite element analysis (FEA), thermal, heat transfer, stress, vibrations, fluid and gas flow dynamics, and manufacturability to properly specify designs.
Develop and conduct feasibility studies and test plans to characterize and validate design performance.
Perform deep and thorough root cause investigations on components and sub-systems.
Prepare high-quality reports and technical presentations to clearly communicate design intent, evaluation, and validation to a diverse audience in design reviews.
Collaborate with internal teams to for procurement and assembly of components and equipment.
