The group you’ll be a part of

Lam India Central Engineering team - Dry DPG NSR

What you’ll do

- Execute hardware design and integration projects for customer-specific changes to standard platforms, including scoping, requirements alignment, design options, review stage gates, release execution, and closure.
- Develop mechanical/electro-mechanical solutions by adapting product configurations, evaluating fit/form/function, preparing CAD models/drawings, and supporting verification or validation as needed.
- Present data-driven trade-offs at design review stage gates and align stakeholders on preferred solutions, risks, and implementation approach.
- Complete release-ready design deliverables including 3D models, 2D drawings, BOM validation, material inputs, packaging, routing, and basic structural/thermal checks.
- Support feasibility studies, test plans, validation inputs, FMEA, risk mitigation, and action-item closure for design approval and release readiness.
- Prepare concise reports, design review material, and technical presentations to communicate design intent, evaluation, validation, and release status.
- Release parts, drawings, BOMs, engineering change records, documentation, order BOM instructions, and engineering project updates through PLM/Teamcenter processes.
- Collaborate with product, safety, systems, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, and assembly teams to deliver compliant, configuration-ready hardware releases.

Mandatory Skills to perform the job

- Mechanical design, 3D modelling, assembly design, and 2D detailing using Creo/Pro-E or equivalent CAD tools.
- PLM/PDM release processes, engineering change management, BOM structuring, drawing release, and document control.
- First-order engineering checks for load, fit, clearance, fastening, structural/thermal impact, fluid/gas flow considerations, and manufacturability.
- Design reviews, FMEA, requirements interpretation, action-item closure, and technical documentation for hardware release.
- Ability to work in a schedule-driven environment with evolving customer-specific requirements and cross-functional stakeholders.

Desirable Skills

- Exposure to hardware design or system integration involving mechanical assemblies, electro-mechanical packaging, customer upgrades, or complex equipment.
- Awareness of SEMI, Lam standards, ANSI/ASME, GD&T, DFA, DFS, safety, serviceability, and manufacturability requirements.
- Clear written/verbal communication to create concise review material and align global stakeholders.
- Hands on experience working in a lab/test environment.
