About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline is required.
  • A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience is required, preferably with epitaxy (Epi) process equipment at a semiconductor equipment manufacturer.
  • Experience with atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or etch is also considered.
  • Fluency in Japanese and business-level communication skills in English are required.
  • Ability to travel internationally is required; travel ranges from 25% to 50%, depending on the product development cycle.
  • A basic understanding of semiconductor processing and device fabrication is required.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the system-level expert focused on product support for new product development.
  • Work with hardware, electrical, controls, process, and software engineering teams to become the system-level expert on new products under development.
  • Guide engineering during the design phase of new products on key customer requirements and needs, including preventive maintenance service tasks, design for service, and design for manufacturability.
  • Own the first build and test of new products in the development lab, work closely with engineering teams, provide real-time feedback on issues, and recommend solutions.
  • Develop procedures and document best-known methods for service, preventive maintenance, and corrective maintenance tasks.
  • Own first-in-fab (Alpha or Beta) customer shipments and drive customer fab readiness, including facilities setup, installation, and startup through production qualification.
  • Provide detailed reporting of field issues for new products in the field.
  • Drive and own customer issues on new products during the Alpha build and test phase and during beta testing at customer sites.
  • Develop critical spare-parts lists for new products and ensure initial stocking levels are set and ready for new product shipments.

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.
