Description
Step into a career with ASM, where cutting edge technology meets collaborative culture.
For over 55 years ASM has been ahead of what’s next, at the forefront of innovation and what’s technologically possible. With more than 4,500 ASMers representing 70 nationalities, our people and our advanced semiconductor devices are playing a crucial role in trends such as 5G, cloud computing, AI, and autonomous driving. But we’re more than just a tech company. We value diversity, inclusion and sustainability as we strive to make a positive impact on the world. Our development programs help support your growth, shaping your future and pushing the boundaries of innovation to unleash potential.
Job's mission
At ASM, our technology powers the most advanced semiconductor devices in the world, and our people are at the heart of that innovation. We are hiring Engineers of various experience levels across multiple KPUs, product lines, and technology domains. Joining ASM gives you the opportunity to join a global organization where the complexity of the challenges matches the scale of the impact. As part of our Advanced Packaging team, you’ll operate at the intersection of cutting-edge technology, engineering, field operations, and customer environments, ensuring our technologies perform reliably from early concept through high-volume manufacturing.
The Challenge
You’ll apply your expertise to the design and development of next-generation semiconductor equipment within ASM’s Advanced Packaging team. Working alongside experienced engineers, you’ll contribute to cutting-edge mechanical systems while building deep industry knowledge. This role offers hands-on technical challenges, mentorship, and a clear pathway for growth. You’ll also play a key role across the full product lifecycle, from development and first builds through customer qualification and scale. Depending on your background, you may focus on system-level troubleshooting, new product introduction, automation, or driving performance improvements in the field.
What you will be working on
- Contribute to design and development of semiconductor systems, including equipment selection, process controls, and automation integration.
- Manage project timelines, budgets, and resources while ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams in manufacturing, operations, and quality to align on goals and deliverables.
- Provide technical support and troubleshooting for equipment and automation systems, driving root cause analysis and resolution.
- Own BOM release and maintenance, ensuring accurate documentation and reporting for stakeholders.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives and stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies.
- Prepare comprehensive design documentation for manufacturing and testing of prototypes and production products.
- Act as a system-level technical expert, supporting complex semiconductor equipment in both development labs and customer fabs
- Diagnose and resolve advanced system, hardware, and process issues, including escalations beyond standard support
- Drive root cause analysis (RCCA) and implement sustainable solutions across tools, sites, and product lines
- Support new product introduction (NPI), including early builds, lab validation, and ramp to high-volume manufacturing
- Lead or support first-in-fab (Alpha / Beta) deployments — installation, start-up, and qualification
- Translate field and customer feedback into design, performance, and reliability improvements
- Contribute to yield improvement, tool performance, and uptime in demanding fab environments
- Develop and share best practices, technical documentation, and global standards
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, controls, and process engineering teams
- Lead / Support global initiatives, mentor engineers and represent ASM in customer-facing teams
What we are looking for
- Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Systems, or similar disciplines)
- Experience in semiconductor equipment or complex technical environments
- Knowledge of CE, NFPA, Semi S2-95, and other relevant standards for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Strong problem-solving mindset with system-level thinking
- Hands-on approach and ability to connect theory with real-world system behavior
- Analytical skills (DOE, data analysis, structured problem solving)
- Comfortable working across global teams and time zones
- Strong communication skills, including customer-facing interactions
- Willingness to travel internationally (~25–50%)
What sets you apart
- Work across a broad range of technologies (plasma, vacuum, gas delivery, software, hardware integration)
- Operate where product development meets real-world fab performance
- High visibility and impact across engineering, operations, and customers
Apply today to be part of what’s next.
