Step into a career with ASM, where cutting edge technology meets collaborative culture. For over 55 years ASM has been ahead of what’s next, at the forefront of innovation and what’s technologically possible. With more than 4,500 ASMers representing 70 nationalities, our people and our advanced semiconductor devices are playing a crucial role in trends such as 5G, cloud computing, AI, and autonomous driving.  But we’re more than just a tech company. We value diversity, inclusion and sustainability as we strive to make a positive impact on the world. Our development programs help support your growth, shaping your future and pushing the boundaries of innovation to unleash potential. As a Senior Engineer II, Mechanical Engineering at ASM, you will play a pivotal role in design and development of high ‑ precision ALD chamber and semiconductor equipment systems. In this role, you will apply solid mechanical engineering fundamentals to solve complex design challenges, support new product development, and ensure reliable transition from design to manufacturing. Working closely with cross ‑ functional teams, you will help drive product quality, performance, and innovation. What you will be working on Design and develop mechanical systems and components for semiconductor equipment, applying sound engineering principles, product specifications, and research data. Perform engineering calculations related to structural, thermal, and fluid dynamics to support robust and reliable designs. Create and maintain Creo Parametric 3D CAD models and detailed drawings, ranging from individual parts to complex assemblies. Evaluate the feasibility of product proposals, resolve technical issues, and develop new designs in compliance with product safety and design standards. Manage Continuous Improvement Projects (CIPs) and ensure clear communication across teams and with external partners. Prepare complete and clear engineering documentation to support prototype builds, manufacturing, and testing of released products. Support engineering project activities, including report preparation, schedule planning, design reviews, and coordination with cross ‑ functional teams. Establish product configurations and structures for new products and features in both development and manufacturing environments. Participate in and present at design reviews for new designs, product enhancements, and customer ‑ specific solutions. Support hardware development, installation, and testing to verify performance; create, review, and approve test plans and test procedures. Interface with manufacturing, suppliers, and other engineering teams to ensure smooth product transfer into the manufacturing cycle. Review and process engineering change requests (ECR/ECO) and support continuous product and process improvements. Travel to customer or supplier sites as needed to support technical discussions and project execution. Maintain a strong commitment to safety in all activities.
