Software Technical Lead Engineer

Elevate Hardware Testing with AI

As a Lead Software Engineer at Lam Research, you will oversee the quality and reliability of sophisticated control systems used in semiconductor manufacturing. Instead of traditional manual validation, you will spearhead a modern approach to quality engineering by integrating generative AI into every stage of the testing lifecycle. Your work ensures that the software powering global tech infrastructure is flawless and high-performing.

The Vibe Coding Tech Stack

This position is tailor-made for developers who have mastered the art of AI-assisted coding. You will utilize GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to generate automated test suites, write Python and Java scripts, and perform deep-dive log analysis. A primary goal of this role is to move beyond standard automation by building custom AI agents that can autonomously handle QA workflows and intelligent defect detection.

Growth and Innovation

You will collaborate with a centralized team to optimize software for etch and deposition products. This is an opportunity to transition from traditional QA into an AI-orchestrator role, where your ability to prompt and guide LLMs is just as important as your knowledge of Linux and system architecture. You’ll be at the forefront of 'vibe coding' in a physical engineering context, proving that AI-driven development is the new standard for industrial excellence.
