Teams at Applied Materials

Lead and manage an optical engineering team to develop high-performance optical systems for semiconductor equipment. Own complex system projects from specification through design, supplier collaboration, integration, qualification, troubleshooting, and feasibility studies. Drive R&D, vendor strategy, customer technical engagement, mentoring, alignment strategies, error budgets, and system-level requirements and risk management.

Support FP&A and Gross Margin Leadership by performing cost and gross margin analysis, financial modeling, forecasting, and monthly/quarterly reporting. Build cost-tracking frameworks, dashboards, and executive presentations; partner with Operations and Engineering to integrate cost improvement tracks into forecasts and the annual operating plan.

Design and specify complex subsystems; lead architecture selection and prototyping; perform detailed engineering analysis and testing; support system integration, qualification, troubleshooting, and field support across electrical, mechanical, software and physics disciplines.
