Locations and presence
Lam Research is headquartered in Fremont, California and operates a large U.S. footprint including Oregon (Tualatin, Sherwood, Hillsboro) plus other sites, alongside a broad global network of offices and manufacturing locations. Lam Research job postings describe hybrid models such as “On-site Flex” (3+ days on-site) and “Virtual Flex” for roles that allow more remote work, with expectations set role-by-role.
Lam Research is an accessible early-career employer for engineers and STEM grads because Lam Research runs internships, co-ops, and a named Graduates Program, backed by structured onboarding and buddy support. Lam Research also has visible pay and benefits signals in job postings and public perks, plus a clear hybrid-work model vocabulary that helps candidates understand what “hybrid” means in practice. The score is capped by limited public detail on interview stages for early-career roles and a lack of published early-career outcomes metrics like conversion, retention, and promotion rates.
