Full Job Description
The impact you'll make

As a Modeling Engineer 3 in the WETS Product Group, your work will directly influence the design and advancement of our semiconductor capital equipment products for the advanced packaging field, both for wafers and panels. By applying advanced simulation techniques and engineering insight, you'll help accelerate product development cycles, reduce costly iterations, and enable breakthrough innovations. Your contributions will shape critical design decisions, support global collaboration, and drive technical excellence across the organization. This is a high-visibility role where your expertise will make a measurable difference in the success of our products and the satisfaction of our customers.

What you'll do

  • Build Multiphysics models (Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element (FEA), Electric current and Electrochemical models) of complex reactor systems to support product and process development.
  • Collaborate with global engineering teams across the US, Europe, and Asia to simulate and solve multi-physics problems.
  • Simulate process conditions including structural, flow, thermal, chemical reactions, and mass transport to inform and optimize design decisions.
  • Recommend design solutions based on simulation results and engineering analysis.
  • Develop and execute design of experiments (DOE) and conduct lab experiments to validate simulation results using quantitative metrics.
  • Own the full lifecycle of computational modeling projects-from problem definition and model development to result evaluation, documentation, and design implementation support.
  • Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) including thermo-mechanical, fatigue (high and low cycle), and non-linear analysis to ensure mechanical design integrity.
  • Generate technical reports, publications, and presentations; communicate findings to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Contribute to the development of Intellectual Property (IP) through innovative modeling and simulation work.


Who we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.
  • Proficiency in commercial simulation tools such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, or similar.
  • Experience with Finite Element Analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS Mechanical, Abaqus).
  • Strong understanding of hydrodynamics and structural mechanics.
  • Experience and expertise in electrochemical or electroplating systems is a great plus
  • Experience and expertise in field of microbubbles is a great plus
  • Demonstrated ability to write clear technical reports and present complex findings to diverse audiences.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills in a cross-functional, global team environment.


Preferred qualifications

  • Master's or Ph.D. in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Experience with chemical reaction modeling and mass transport phenomena.
  • Familiarity with scripting or programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for simulation automation and data analysis.
  • Prior experience in semiconductor, energy, or advanced manufacturing industries.
  • Track record of published technical papers or granted patents in the field of modeling and simulation.


Lam offers a variety of work location models based on the needs of each role. Our hybrid roles combine the benefits of on-site collaboration with colleagues and the flexibility to work remotely and fall into two categories - On-site Flex and Virtual Flex. 'On-site Flex' you'll work 3+ days per week on-site at a Lam or customer/supplier location, with the opportunity to work remotely for the balance of the week. 'Virtual Flex' you'll work 1-2 days per week on-site at a Lam or customer/supplier location, and remotely the rest of the time.
