Job's mission

As a Senior Engineer II, Key Account Technology (KAT) at ASM, you will serve as a key technical interface for strategic customers, driving new technology introduction and successful customer adoption of PEALD metal oxide and metal nitride processes, including TiO, TiN, and emerging MXNT materials for advanced logic, memory, CIS, and packaging applications.

This role combines deep thin-film process expertise, plasma process understanding, and strong customer engagement. You will support NPI, demos, JDP/PTOR/DTOR activities, process qualification, HVM ramp, and technical escalations while translating customer requirements and roadmap needs into actionable inputs for ASM product, process, and technology development.

Selected candidates will participate in approximately 6 months of training in the Japan or Korea research and development centers to build deep understanding of ASM PEALD technology, product platforms, process BKMs, and customer engagement practices.

What you will be working on

• Act as the primary technical interface for key customers, supporting PEALD metal oxide and metal nitride process development, evaluation, qualification, and production while building strong relationships with customer R&D, integration, and manufacturing teams
• Drive NPI, demo, JDP, PTOR/DTOR, and HVM support activities at customer sites, leading hands-on deployment and implementing BU-developed BKMs, CIPs, and process improvements
• Execute and support customer-specific DOE, process optimization, demo, and trouble-shooting activities for current and other emerging PEALD MXNT materials
• Diagnose and resolve complex processes, film-property, integration, and equipment issues across development and production environments, including root cause analysis, corrective actions, particle reduction, thickness/uniformity improvement, and process stability enhancement
• Monitor tool and process performance against customer specifications, including film thickness, uniformity, conformality, stress, resistivity, optical properties, thermal properties, particles, throughput, and uptime
