About The Position

You’ll be joining the Concept and Feasibility (C&F) team with the WETS Product Group, a highly collaborative, cross‑disciplinary organization within Lam’s Global Products Group (GPG), focused on delivering industry‑leading wet processing solutions for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The WETS organization develops liquid‑based process equipment supporting both wafer and panel‑level applications, with strong emphasis on new product introduction (NPI), technology differentiation, and manufacturing scalability. Our teams work closely across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, systems, and process engineering—partnering globally to bring complex, high‑performance tools from concept through production while meeting aggressive cost, schedule, and quality targets. As a Mechanical Engineer at Lam, you will design cutting-edge mechanical systems, perform feasibility studies, and develop new products. You will collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to drive semiconductor breakthroughs that define the next generation. In this role, you will directly contribute to a Concept and Feasibility (C&F) team focused on development activities for the next generation of electroplating deposition products.
