## 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

You will drive data-informed procurement operations and inventory strategy to ensure critical semiconductor development, qualification, and customer demo activities are never constrained by silicon wafer availability, budget misalignment, or poor forecasting. This role directly influences cost control and operational continuity across Lam's global sites.

## What you'll do

• Procurement Operations: Accountable for end-to-end wafer and film procurement execution, including purchase order tracking, supplier coordination, and delivery oversight.
• Inventory Analysis: Monitor inventory health, forecast coverage in weeks and quarters, and proactively mitigate supply risks across Fremont, KTC, and other global sites.
• Budget & Spend Tracking: Partner with Finance to align quarterly forecasts, cross-charges, and spend visibility for wafer and film categories.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Interface with Process Engineering, Global Supply Chain, and external suppliers to align on requirements, timelines, and cost targets.

## Who we're looking for

• 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.
• A detail-oriented, self-directed analyst who can independently manage complex procurement scopes and bridge engineering, finance, and operations stakeholders in a fast-paced semiconductor environment.
• Demonstrated experience in operations, supply chain, procurement, or business analysis.

## Preferred qualifications

• Semiconductor industry experience strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with silicon wafers, thin films, or semiconductor consumables.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and experience with project/ticketing tools (e.g., JIRA).
• Experience working with international or multi-site operations.
• Experience or knowledge of global tariffs on silicon wafers.

## Our commitment

We believe it is important for every person to feel valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential. By bringing unique individuals and viewpoints together, we achieve extraordinary results.
