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
