Process Engineer – Recent Graduate

We move the atoms that move the world.

At Lam Research, we create equipment that allows chipmakers to build device features more than 1,000 times smaller than a grain of sand. This tiny scale has a huge impact. Our equipment places atoms so precisely that virtually every leading-edge chip inside the electronics you use every day (TVs, smartphones, laptops, cars) has been made using our innovations.

Our footprint includes 16 countries and nearly 50 locations worldwide. This global presence serves customers who are designing increasingly smaller and more powerful chips. Our portfolio of market-leading products for thin film deposition, plasma etch, photoresist strip, and wafer cleaning is one of the vital links between their vision and reality.

As electronics get smaller, technology challenges get bigger. Our role in solving them—and facilitating modern life—is to create the sophisticated fabrication equipment and services that make complex computer chips possible.
