Job's mission

As a Senior Engineer I, Metrology at ASM, you will play a critical role in supporting advanced semiconductor materials and process development. Working within ASM’s R&D lab environment in Korea, you will operate and optimize high-end metrology tools such as TEM and FIB to generate high-quality characterization data.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with process development engineers to enable data-driven decisions, develop advanced metrology applications and recipes, and contribute to the advancement of next-generation ALD and Epitaxy technologies. You will also ensure reliable tool operation and efficient lab performance while supporting continuous improvement in metrology capabilities.

What you will be working on

• Operate and optimize advanced metrology tools (TEM, FIB) for materials and process characterization
• Perform high-quality sample analysis and support internal/external demonstrations and applications development
• Develop and optimize metrology recipes, including Best Known Methods (BKM) and production-ready applications
• Collaborate closely with process engineers to select appropriate characterization techniques and support data interpretation
• Analyze and present metrology results to support process development and engineering decision-making
• Troubleshoot tool performance issues and coordinate with vendors to resolve hardware/software challenges
• Support metrology tool uptime, monitor SPC data, and participate in tool efficiency improvement initiatives
• Develop applications to identify process issues, solve problems, and optimize measurement capability
• Maintain laboratory LEAN 6S standards and ensure safe, clean, and efficient lab operations
• Support development of new analytical methods and metrology techniques aligned with ASM’s technology roadmap
• Train engineers on metrology tools and develop SOPs and recovery procedures for tool-down scenarios
