About the role

Applied Materials, Inc. in Santa Clara, CA, is seeking a Materials Planning professional to join our global team. You will lead cross-functional planning processes, balance make-vs-buy decisions, and optimize capacity, scheduling, inventory, and costs to meet customer demand. The role emphasizes partnering with quality, engineering, machining, and assembly to ensure 100% on-time delivery, manage supplier relationships, and contribute to budgeting and continuous improvement.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
