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.

Senior Engineer, Field Process As a Senior Engineer, Field Process, you will help expand ASM’s advanced film technologies at our customer’s Oregon site by developing, optimizing, and transferring innovative ALD, PEALD, PECVD, Epitaxy, and LPCVD processes. You will serve as the technical link between customer engineering teams and ASM’s global Business Unit, ensuring new products and processes are introduced smoothly and successfully. Your work directly supports ASM’s mission to accelerate next‑generation semiconductor manufacturing through collaboration, technical excellence, and customer partnership.

The Opportunity You will begin with a structured 24-month assignment in Hillsboro, OR, where you will build on your technical foundation and develop deep expertise in ASM systems, operating methodologies, and customer support practices. Working alongside experienced teams, you will gain hands-on exposure to complex semiconductor manufacturing equipment and processes, including vacuum technology, plasma systems, robotics, chemical delivery, advanced sensors, and control software. This phase is designed to ensure strong technical readiness, operational discipline, and alignment before transitioning into a critical role supporting a new site.

Following this training period, you will relocate to Austin, TX to play a key role in the startup of a new fab, joining a growing Field Process Engineering team from the ground up. In this environment, you will not only provide expert-level tool support, but also operate as a technical lead, driving startup readiness, leading structured problem-solving efforts, coordinating escalations, and mentoring newer engineers. This role offers high visibility and impact from day one, requiring you to build trusted customer relationships, establish strong technical / operational standards, and help scale a new operation successfully.

Your work will directly influence system performance, uptime, and overall customer success, making you an integral part of both the immediate startup effort and the long-term growth of the organization. What you will be working on Support New Product Introduction (NPI) by training with the Business Unit to gain expertise in new deposition processes and hardware. Lead the introduction and transfer of new processes to the customer site.

Partner closely with field hardware engineers and Business Unit teams to troubleshoot new products and develop proposals for process or hardware improvements. Design and execute on-site experiments with the customer, driving development, integration, and continuous improvement projects. Escalate issues in a timely manner to maintain project scope, timelines, and customer alignment.

Document key learnings during NPI and ensure effective knowledge transfer to local service and manufacturing teams.

Requirements

Perform structured problem‑solving and root‑cause analysis on process or system nonconformances. Collaborate with customer teams to identify and grow opportunities for ASM hardware and process adoption. Support process transfer to high‑volume manufacturing (HVM) fabs, creating and sharing best‑known methods (BKMs) and documentation.
