Product Marketing – New College Graduate

Semiconductor Marketing & Strategy · 2027 New College Graduate

AI is driving the biggest transformation the semiconductor industry has seen in decades, and nearly every advanced chip behind it is built with Applied Materials technology. Help us tell that story.

As a member of the Marketing & Strategy team for Applied’s semiconductor business, you will learn how Applied’s breakthrough technologies work and why they matter, then turn that understanding into the presentations, articles, and content that reach the world’s leading chipmakers. You will work side by side with Applied’s technologists and product leaders, see your work in front of customers and at major industry conferences, and build a rare combination of technology depth and communication skill early in your career.

What You’ll Do

• Learn Applied’s semiconductor products and technologies by working closely with technologists, product managers, and marketers, and translate what you learn into clear value messages.

• Build presentations for customers, conferences, and internal leaders, from storyline and structure through visual design.

• Write technical articles, blogs, product collateral, and web content that make complex topics clear for both technical and business audiences.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong presentation creation skills. You can build a clear storyline, design slides that make data and concepts easy to grasp, and present with confidence. Advanced PowerPoint skills expected.

• Technology understanding. You are drawn to how things work, ask questions until you understand, and can learn a complex technical subject quickly enough to explain it to others.

• Ability to digest large amounts of information and distill it into a simple, compelling message.

• Strong organization and the ability to manage several projects and deadlines at once.

• Collaborative and comfortable working with subject-matter experts and senior leaders.

Education

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in any discipline, completed between December 2026 and August 2027.

• Semiconductor experience is not required. Some exposure to technology is preferred, whether through coursework, internships, research, projects, or work with technical teams.
