Electrical Engineering Intern

The Group You’ll Be A Part Of

In the Global Products Group, we are dedicated to excellence in the design and engineering of Lam's etch and 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

Join Lam as a summer 2025 Electrical Engineering Intern and you'll be at the forefront, designing and developing electronic solutions for advanced applications. Your role involves designing and analyzing equipment, conducting experimental tests, evaluating results to create reliable cutting-edge solutions.

In this role, you will directly contribute to Lam’s PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) and ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) systems engineering. Intern will work directly with experienced engineers gaining a better understanding of Lam deposition products and during their internship will be an integral member of PECVD and ALD HW Engineering Group as part of the fast paced and high energy Development group which primarily focuses on new product development. Internship will be focused on learning Lam product designs (Semiconductor Deposition products) and contributing to the overall improvement of performance and reliability through innovative solutions.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop electrical systems, sub-systems, and/or solutions, applying engineering methods to design.
• Contributes to research and development efforts by collecting and analyzing data to improve electrical system designs.
• Assists with development of functional specifications for electrical/ electro-mechanical systems and power distribution components.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering design teams to design and modify custom and OEM system components.
• Perform hands-on test and validation utilizing lab equipment to characterization of the performance of the electrical/ electro-mechanical systems.
• Prepare high-quality reports and technical presentations to clearly communicate design intent, analysis, and results to diverse audiences in design reviews.
