- Experience in engineering, design, and development of complex mechanical systems, including reactors, vacuum chambers, gas delivery systems, pneumatics, water cooling circuits, and vacuum systems is required.
- Knowledge of the requirements for CE, NFPA, SEMI S2-95, and other applicable standards for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Understanding of metals, plastics, surface coatings, and surface finishes.
- Computer background in Microsoft applications, Creo, and AutoCAD.
- Knowledge of best practices and how the role's area integrates with others, with the ability to recommend product and process improvements.
- Ability to coordinate resources and reporting, and interface with other organizations and outside vendors on resource requirements.
- Ability to perform self-inspection and ensure work adheres to documentation requirements, company policies, and procedures.
- Apply engineering principles, product specifications, and research data to create designs for semiconductor-industry systems and products.
- Perform engineering calculations involving structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics problems.
- Create and revise Creo Parametric CAD models and detail drawings, from simple part designs to large assemblies.
- Determine the feasibility of product proposals, resolve problems using technical inputs, and develop new designs that meet product safety criteria; apply statistics to optimize designs and achieve first-time-right results.
- Prepare product and system designs and related engineering documentation for manufacturing and testing prototype and production-released products, ensuring the documentation is complete and easy to follow.
- Generate reports, create and maintain schedules, conduct design reviews, and coordinate between departments as part of project management duties.
- Assist in establishing product configurations and structures for new products and features in development and manufacturing environments.
- Present and participate in design reviews for customer-driven specials, product enhancements, and other new designs.

- Travel to customer and supplier sites to participate in technical discussions.
- Assist marketing and vendors in preparing cost estimates for nonstandard options, new system features, and product enhancements.
- Support projects with technical staff, managers, and manufacturing groups; support hardware development, installation, and testing to verify performance; create test plans and verify and approve test procedures.
- Interface with other organizations on new product updates and ensure a smooth transition into the manufacturing cycle.
- Evaluate change requests and complete all aspects of engineering change orders.
- A PhD is strongly preferred.
- Experience with semiconductor capital equipment or heavy capital equipment.
- Knowledge of deposition products, including CVD, ALD, EPI, or PVD.
- Proficiency in ASME Y14.5 and/or ISO 1101:2017 geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
About the company
ASM International designs and supplies equipment and technologies for semiconductor fabrication, focusing on thin-film deposition processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Its products are used in making microchips by depositing ultra-thin material layers with precise control at the atomic level, enabling smaller and more powerful devices. The company built a global footprint through operations in the Netherlands, the US, Hong Kong, and Japan, and separated ASML Lithography (a joint venture with Philips) to focus on deposition while ASML develops photolithography systems. In recent years, ASM has sharpened its strategy around ALD, a process that creates uniformly thin layers one atomic layer at a time, allowing continued scaling of semiconductor devices. The goal is to be a core supplier of deposition technology and tools that enable chip manufacturers to produce smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient semiconductors.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Q2 2026 revenue reached €1.0 billion, up 24% year over year.
- Management guided Q3 2026 revenue to €1.1 billion and H2 above H1 by 20%.
- 2027 revenue should exceed €4.6 billion, driven by AI infrastructure spending.
What critics are saying
- China mature-logic demand depends on export-control distortions, not durable secular growth.
- Local competitors in China already pressure pricing and threaten share in 2026.
- Applied Materials and NAURA can displace ASM if customers standardize alternative deposition stacks.
What makes ASM International unique
- ASM owns more than 55% of ALD market, with record Q2 2026 ALD sales.
- Its 2nm and 1.4nm wins embed ASM in leading-edge logic ramps.
- Spares and services grew 34% in Q2 2026, creating recurring revenue.
