Supplier Engineer III Senior - (TKM) (E3)

This position leads technical and operational efforts across Applied Materials’ supplier network, including evaluating manufacturing and cleaning methods, clarifying engineering requirements, and identifying improvements to part life, cost, lead time, and risk. The engineer participates in supplier selection, audits supplier capabilities, and helps drive sustained corrective actions when quality or process issues arise. The role works closely with internal engineering and quality organizations while also coaching other supplier engineers on assessment practices. It is well suited to an experienced semiconductor or parts-manufacturing engineer who can influence suppliers, manage improvement projects, protect intellectual property, and travel frequently. Experience with automation or AI would be an additional advantage.
