Senior Engineer, Process Engineering | Global R&D Process Engineering Program

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. We value diversity, inclusion and sustainability as we strive to make a positive impact on the world.

Take a closer look at the role: Work with semiconductor processing equipment to research, develop and optimize unit processes focused on the deposition of metal and dielectric films via ALD, PEALD, Epitaxy, and/or PECVD. Develop innovative ideas, staying abreast of state‑of‑the‑art processing applications in the semiconductor industry. Process consulting, including writing technical papers on advanced process applications and intellectual property creation. Participate in and drive technical problem‑solving sessions using the scientific method and industry tools such as Ishikawa diagrams. Design and conduct experiments, and measure and interpret experimental output, aimed at fulfilling stated objectives using Design of Experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Troubleshoot equipment problems and engage personally and actively in “hands‑on” problem resolution. Work directly with customers and central marketing to understand and define requirements, successfully execute and document customer demonstrations. Develop methods and techniques for integrating metal and/or oxide films into existing and future device technologies. Ensure successful product transfer to the customer base by performing demonstrations, traveling to support customer sites (up to 10% travel required), and drafting documentation regarding process development, tool operation and maintenance. Produce technical papers on process, equipment, and device integration improvement strategies and present to professional audiences. Qualifications PhD degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or Physics. 0‑7+ years of combined education, research, and work experience with: Cure, oxidation, ALD, CVD, Epitaxy, PECVD and/or other thin‑film deposition. Materials characterization techniques such as XPS, SIMS, RBS, AFM, XRR, XRD, TEM, SEM and ellipsometry. Knowledge of electrical characterization techniques for CMOS devices. Application of dielectric and/or metal films for logic and memory structures. Training in CFD (computational fluid dynamics), either theoretical or practical is preferred. Knowledge of electrical characterization techniques for CMOS devices is preferred. Skills Able to independently manage complex process development projects. Creative problem solving with experience in developing new films for emerging applications and in chemistry/materials characterization. Understand interplay between hardware design (e.g., chemical reactor design) and operation and process outputs. Understand requirements for integration of metals as work‑function materials and barrier layers in FEOL and BEOL process flows. Demonstrated ability to develop and completely characterize deposition processes using first principles and experimental design techniques such as DOE and RSM. Experience with the theory, practice, and interpretation of materials characterization techniques such as XPS, SIMS, RBS, AFM, XRD, HRTEM, FESEM, Auger, Raman and ellipsometry. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly communicate advanced technical constructs. Work location & transfer requirements

For the first 18–24 months, you’ll complete training at one of our flagship process development hubs in Leuven, Belgium, and Helsinki, Finland. Upon completion, you will transfer to one of our Key Product Unit (KPU) process teams for a permanent role in ASM in one of the following locations:

Greater Tokyo, Japan Phoenix, Arizona, US Helsinki, Finland
