Job description

Senior Engineer, Process Engineering (ALD)

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.Butwe’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 mission

As a key member of our R&D team, you will lead the development and optimization of advanced Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) processes for next-generation semiconductor applications. Combining deep technical expertise with hands-on experimentation, you will translate complex process challenges into innovative, manufacturable solutions and work closely with cross-functional and customer teams to successfully demonstrate and transfer technologies into high-volume manufacturing.

What you will be working on

• Work with semiconductor processing equipment to research, develop and optimize processes focused on developing ALD processes
• Conduct experiments, measurements and drive conclusions out of complex experimental data sets
• Develop innovative solutions and demonstrate these in the context of HVM semiconductor manufacturing
• Staying up-to-date of state-of-the-art ALD processing applications in the semiconductor industry to be effective
• Work hands-on with state-of-the-art semiconductor process equipment and optimize processes alongside the hardware for maximum efficiency
• Communicate effectively with other ASM and customers R&D teams to understand and define requirements in order to successfully execute projects and demonstrations
• Ensure successful product transfers to customers by performing demonstrations, knowledge transfer, and traveling when needed to support other ASM sites

We could be a great match for each other if you have:

• PhD degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science, preferably with a thesis related to ALD
• Prior industry experience minimum 5 years with deposition techniques (thermal ALD or PEALD) and their characterization methods (e.g., AFM, XRD, TEM, SIMS, electrical characterization and ellipsometry)
• Demonstrated understanding of semiconductor physics, processing equipment technology, and/or advanced chemistries
• A curious mindset, able to synthesize the complex and drive pragmatic solutions forward
• The ability to plan, execute and communicate projects from beginning to end and across stakeholders
• The passion and drive to take charge of your career, grabbing professional and personal development opportunities with both hands

We make the tech that enables the chips in devices which improve lives around the world. We do this with an eye to the future, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through cutting-edge innovation, and driving the next wave of technological breakthroughs that shape how we live, work, and connect.
