Lam Research is looking to create new ways to computationally model physical phenomena in semiconductor fabrication and develop software tools to support design, infrastructure, and technology platforms.
Requirements
- Direct experience with the implementation of 3D physical simulation algorithms, such as the finite element or finite volume method.
- Familiarity with iterative linear solver methods such as conjugate gradient or multigrid methods.
- Experience in writing numerical solvers to solve electrostatic equations.
- Strong background in modern C++ programming, software engineering and building code from scratch.
- Strong fundamental math skills, including linear algebra, calculus, and geometry
- Experience simulating electrochemical systems.
- Broad background in numerical methods and scientific computing
Responsibilities
- Explore new approaches to model phenomena in semiconductor fabrication.
- Design efficient algorithms to simulate those physical phenomena.
- Implement the algorithms using advanced data structures such as octrees for scalability.
- Optimize those algorithms for speed and robustness through profiling and parallelization
- Produce high-quality software that is well documented, tested, and maintainable.
- Collaborate with our applications team to understand and troubleshoot customer needs
Other
- PhD or MS in engineering, mathematics, physics, or computer science related to 3D modeling, simulation, scientific computing, or semiconductors
- Team player who thrives in a collaborative environment
- Excellent communication skills in English, ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts
- Ability to work at least 3 days a week from the office in Waltham, MA
- Commitment to equal opportunity in employment and non-discrimination in employment policies, practices and procedures
