Originally posted 14 August 2026 by the employer — open 35 days.

About the role

This role involves defining and driving the technical vision for RF engineering across multiple product lines, leading the development of advanced RF subsystems and system architectures. The work focuses on high-power high-voltage RF power delivery and advanced RF subsystems for Lam's etch and deposition products.

What you'll do

• Define RF system architecture, design strategy, and long-term technology roadmap.
• Direct RF development activities spanning RF subassembly design, RF system design, and integration into plasma delivery and control systems.
• Establish technical direction for high-power high-voltage RF power delivery and advanced RF subsystems.
• Build and mentor an organization of RF engineers and technical leaders.
• Guide organizational capability in RF system design, modeling, validation, and production support.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in Power Electronics or a closely related field with 15+ years of related RF engineering experience; or 12+ years with a Master's degree; or 8+ years with a PhD.
• Demonstrated leadership in RF system design, RF subassemblies, and high-performance RF solutions.
• Proven track record of driving complex RF development efforts from concept through production.
• Experience leading large-scale or multi-team engineering initiatives.

Nice to have

• Expertise in high energy systems for plasma applications.
• Strong background in RF modeling, simulation, validation, and performance optimization.
• Experience with design reviews, FMEA, RCCA, and structured engineering processes.
• Demonstrated success operating in global, matrixed organizations and influencing without direct authority.
• Track record of developing future technical leaders.
