Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaurav Gautam is a Sr. Radio Frequency Engineer with 8 years of experience bridging academic research and semiconductor manufacturing, currently working at Lam Research in California. He combines a strong physics foundation (MSc) and ongoing PhD work in mechanical engineering with hands-on expertise in plasma modeling, simulation, and RF systems. Proficient in Python, C++, GNU Octave and VB, he has led development of plasma simulation tools (PyDBD, SOMAFOAM/plasmaFoamLite) used to study high-frequency microplasma behavior. At Lam he advanced from intern to senior engineer, contributing to plasma code development, hybrid mesh generation, and cross-functional hardware/software integration for etch processes. Colleagues note his ability to translate complex multiphysics research into production-ready simulation and test workflows—a skill reflected in peer-reviewed work on dielectric barrier discharges. Based in the U.S., he blends deep theoretical insight with practical engineering delivery across simulation, prototyping, and process support.
