About the Job

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related field) with 10+ years of industry experience, or Master’s degree with 4+ years, or PhD with 3+ years of relevant experience
  • Strong software development expertise in C++ and/or C#
  • Experience developing for Windows and real-time operating systems
  • Solid understanding of multi-threaded applications
  • Experience working with software documentation, specifications, and APIs

Responsibilities

  • Lead deep technical investigations into software-related safety interlocks, validating corrective and preventive actions
  • Analyze and optimize multiple interacting subsystems, gaining end-to-end understanding of full platform workflows
  • Drive root cause and corrective action (RCCA) using packet captures, log correlation, and system-level analysis
  • Design and evaluate subsystem architectures, including multi-threading and scheduler interactions
  • Develop, test, deploy, maintain, and continuously improve software for advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment
  • Troubleshoot complex software issues, including real-time control systems
  • Act as a technical escalation point—supporting field engineers and customers globally. Partner with QA and Support to reproduce field issues and strengthen regression coverage.
  • Author and review system specifications, software designs, and test plans
  • Investigate internal and external technical inquiries, delivering clear analysis and actionable solutions
  • Evaluate and influence software engineering tools and system design decisions
  • Plan and coordinate rapid software fixes and deployments in high-impact environments
  • Present technical insights, progress, and outcomes in customer QBRs, including findings from complex DOE analyses

Desired Qualifications

  • Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) and experience in software architecture and machine control systems, ideally within semiconductor equipment
  • Hands-on experience with GUIs, device drivers, and interrupt-driven software
  • Knowledge of data communications, networking, and EtherCAT
  • Understanding of dynamic scheduling algorithms and deadlock avoidance
  • Proficiency with development tools such as debuggers, application builders, and configuration management systems
  • Ability to triage and diagnose mechanical, electrical, and software issues holistically
  • Strong analytical skills, including designing and interpreting complex DOEs using multivariate methods or PCA

About the Company

ASM International

Semiconductor deposition equipment and ALD tech

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.
