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.
At ASM, we are shaping the future of semiconductor manufacturing through innovative technology and world-class engineering. As a Test Engineer within our Hardware Engineering organization, you will play a key role in the development, verification, and optimization of next-generation semiconductor process equipment.
You will design and execute experiments, analyze complex system behavior, and translate data into engineering improvements. Working closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Systems, and Process Engineers, you will contribute to the validation and performance enhancement of prototypes, subsystems, and complete equipment platforms.
A key focus area of this role is the characterization, tuning, and optimization of reactor temperature control systems. Through data-driven analysis and experimentation, you will help improve system stability, thermal performance, and process repeatability in our advanced semiconductor equipment.
Role and Responsibilities
As a Test Engineer, you will:
-
Develop and execute verification and validation test plans for prototypes, subsystems, and system-level designs.
-
Design and build test setups for mechanical, electrical, thermal, vacuum, and integrated system performance evaluations.
-
Perform testing on engineering builds and new product developments.
-
Analyze experimental data and provide clear recommendations to development teams.
-
Investigate system failures, perform root-cause analysis, and support corrective actions.
-
Collaborate with design engineers to improve product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
-
Develop automated test procedures, data acquisition methods, and analysis workflows where appropriate.
-
Document test results and communicate findings to technical stakeholders.
-
Support reliability, qualification, and technology development programs throughout the product lifecycle.
