Evaluate machine safety architectures and safety-rated control systems to ensure compliance with equipment requirements and industry standards.
Participate in safety assessments, risk reduction initiatives, and functional safety design reviews.
Drive standardization of safety-related hardware and control system solutions.

Cross-Functional Technical Leadership

Collaborate with product engineering, software, firmware, manufacturing, quality, and program management teams to deliver control system solutions that meet performance, cost, quality, and schedule objectives.
Communicate technical recommendations, validation results, risks, and project status to stakeholders and leadership teams.
Influence technical decisions across multiple product teams and business units.
Provide technical leadership during architecture reviews, design reviews, and supplier engagements.

Supplier and Technology Management

Manage technical relationships with industrial automation and control system suppliers.
Drive supplier roadmap alignment to support long-term platform strategies.
Evaluate emerging automation technologies and identify opportunities for adoption.
Support component lifecycle management, obsolescence planning, and supply chain risk mitigation.
Coordinate supplier qualification and technology evaluation activities.

What Success Looks Like

Successful candidates will:

Deliver reliable and scalable industrial control system solutions that meet business and customer requirements.
Drive standardization of control platforms across multiple products and business units.
Successfully integrate and deploy new I/O and control technologies with minimal operational disruption.
Build strong technical partnerships with internal stakeholders and strategic suppliers.
Influence the long-term direction of Applied Materials' industrial automation and control system strategy.
