The group you'll be a part of
In the Deposition Products Group, we are dedicated to excellence in the design and engineering of Lam's deposition products. We drive innovation to ensure our cutting-edge solutions are helping to solve the biggest challenges in the semiconductor industry.
The impact you'll make
We move 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. Virtually every leading-edge chip inside the electronic products you use every day (TVs, smartphones, laptops, cars—even medical devices) has been made using our equipment.
As one of the world's most trusted suppliers in the semiconductor equipment industry, we're transforming technology. Our equipment places atoms so precisely that nearly every chip today is made using our innovations.
To build a prosperous career, start with an atom.
Should you choose to walk the path historically driven by Moore's law, your primary job function will involve cutting edge R&D activities in the Semiconductor Equipment Industry. If solving challenges no one has faced before or attempted are of interest to you, then Lam Research is the company for you.
