Principal Engineer - Multiple Teams

Job's mission

In support of ASM’s growth ambition and digital transformation strategy, there is a need to further improve and leverage data as a foundation for business value, operational scalability, analytics, process intelligence, automation and Artificial Intelligence. Across new product introductions, to manufacturing, to services and spares, the Data Architect links business operations, data platforms and technologies through a clear data architecture.

The Data Architect will be part of ASM’s Global Digital Transformation organization, within the Data & AI Intelligence capability. The architect will translate business priorities into scalable data architecture, and practical data solutions required to support ASM’s next phase of growth. In short, the architect will own the enterprise data architecture. 

The Data Architect has a healthy degree of business acumen and is driven to understand how ASM operates. ASM is growing fast, and we are searching for a Data Architect who can help us to scale up and enable business outcomes.
