Senior Engineer, Electrical Engineering

Job's mission

As a Principal / Senior Engineer, Electrical Engineering at ASM, you will act as a technical lead for electrical systems within advanced semiconductor equipment. You will drive system-level design decisions, ensuring robust architecture, seamless integration, and high-performance delivery. By combining deep technical expertise with strong ownership, you will guide the development of complex systems from concept through production while influencing cross-functional engineering outcomes.

What you will be working on

• Lead the design and development of electrical systems and sub-assemblies, setting technical direction and ensuring alignment with product architecture
• Lead fabrication and test of electrical test structures (ex. MOS capacitors, MIM capacitors, FETs) for semiconductor logic and memory applications
• Own system-level integration, ensuring electrical, mechanical, and control elements work cohesively to meet performance, safety, and reliability targets
• Define and validate digital and analog I/O architectures, enabling flexible, customer-specific configurations
• Drive technical decision-making across new product development, capital projects, and system improvements
• Review and approve engineering changes, ensuring technical integrity, risk mitigation, and adherence to timelines
• Act as a key contributor in design reviews, providing expert guidance and ensuring readiness for production release
• Define and oversee system validation strategies, including hardware testing, instrumentation, and performance verification
• Analyze, understand and interpret electrical test data (ex. CV, IV, Dit) to guide process development and integration of ASM's products such as ALD films
• Evaluate feasibility of new concepts and technologies, solving complex system-level challenges with a structured and innovative approach
• Influence and collaborate with global cross-functional teams, acting as the electrical domain expert
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, elevating technical capability within the team
• Drive high-quality technical documentation, reporting standards, and stakeholder alignment

What we are looking for

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering
• Minimum 5 years of experience in system engineering within semiconductor equipment manufacturing
• Strong expertise in electrical hardware design, system architecture, and integration (e.g., reactors, plasma sources, or similar systems)
• Proven ability to lead technical problem-solving and make system-level design decisions
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and data analysis tools such as JMP
• Hands-on experience in hardware testing, instrumentation, and system validation
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, global engineering environment
• Strong communication skills in English, with the ability to influence technical discussions

What sets you apart

• Experience acting as a technical lead or subject matter expert on complex engineering projects
• Strong understanding of semiconductor processes and equipment architecture
• Experience defining or improving system validation strategies and test methodologies
• Familiarity with data analysis or scripting tools (e.g., Python)
• Proven track record of driving cost reduction, reliability improvements, or product innovation
• Experience working across regions or with international engineering teams
• Proactive, ownership-driven mindset with the ability to influence without formal authority
