Senior Engineer, System Engineering

Job 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 Shape the next generation of semiconductor equipment by developing advanced simulation models that connect process physics with real-world equipment behavior. You will work across reactor-, feature-, and system-level modeling to accelerate development, optimize performance, and advance predictive digital twins for ALD/PEALD, epitaxy, and advanced packaging. Working with global experts, you will turn complex simulation insights into practical design recommendations that help push our technology forward. What you will be working on Develop reactor-scale CFD and thermal models for flow, mixing, chemical transport, particles, and wafer temperature uniformity; integrate plasma-model outputs with specialists. Develop and integrate feature-scale models of species transport, surface reactions, and film growth with specialists; assess conformality, uniformity, and process sensitivity. Develop dynamic models of gas delivery, pressure control, vacuum systems, and thermal response, including epitaxial heating and temperature control, using Amesim, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent tools. Develop ROMs and surrogate models from simulations and measurements, working with ROM/ML specialists to enable rapid prediction, optimization, and control evaluation. Plan calibration and validation against experiments, conduct sensitivity studies and design optimization, and automate reusable simulation workflows. Independently lead modeling projects, collaborate with global process and engineering teams, mentor colleagues, and translate results into practical design recommendations. What we are looking for Minimum Master/PhD degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science. Minimum years of relevant modeling or engineering experience, with demonstrated independent project delivery; advanced research experience Strong foundations in fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, numerical methods, and dynamic system modeling. Hands-on expertise in feature-scale or system-level modeling, with the ability to contribute across both areas; experience developing or applying ROMs or surrogate models. Proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB, model calibration and validation, and clear communication within multidisciplinary teams. What sets you apart Experience with semiconductor equipment for ALD/PEALD, epitaxy, or advanced packaging, including high-aspect-ratio deposition and plasma processing. Skilled in feature-scale process modeling using Silvaco Victory Process, Synopsys Sentaurus Topography, or similar tools. Experience with system-level modeling using Amesim, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent tools. Skilled in CFD using STAR-CCM+, Ansys Fluent, or similar simulation tools. Experience with system identification, optimization, and digital-twin development. Apply today to be part of what’s next. 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. <p class="x_elementToPro
