ASM Company, Phoenix, Arizona, United States, 85003


ASM is a leading global supplier of products, services, and materials for semiconductor processing. For more than half a century, innovation has been at the core of everything we do. Our smart, ambitious people are dedicated to creating cutting-edge solutions for the world's leading semiconductor providers. Every day we push the development of next-generation computer-chip technology, always staying a few steps ahead of what's next.

The talented, enthusiastic people at ASM are just like you: dedicated to improving people's lives and unlocking new potential. With our collaborative approach to R&D, we advance key semiconductor technologies and platforms like ALD, epitaxy, PEALD, PECVD, and vertical furnaces. And we have recently entered the promising high-growth market: silicon carbide epitaxy. Year after year, our innovations help to make chips smaller, faster, and more powerful. In fact, you will find our technology in every aspect of modern life: in AI, medical equipment, 5G, smartphones, autonomous driving, and more.

We are the world's leader in one of the fastest growing segments in the industry, Thermal Atomic Layer Deposition systems. We are also recognized as the technology leader in the fast growth Epitaxial Si deposition market and have far exceeded the growth of any of our competitors in this space. Both of these product families have constant innovation and new product releases that are occurring on a frequent basis. The business units that design these products are in located in Phoenix, AZ and represent ASM's largest R&D Center globally, which is currently being expanded into a new, state of the art, facility in Scottsdale that will enable new product manufacturing side by side with design engineering teams under 1 roof.

In this role, you will lead ASM's New Product Manufacturing Engineering team globally across all ASM products. You will be responsible to manage, hire, and lead a global team that works with design engineering throughout the design process for new products.
