Job Description

Step into a career with ASM, where cutting edge technology meets collaborative culture.

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.

Job's mission

In this role, you will act as a technical authority within the Global Supplier Development organization, driving supplier capability in precision manufacturing, process control, and quality systems. You will work at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and supply chain to enable scalable, high-yield production aligned with ASM’s technology roadmap. Your work directly impacts cost, cycle time, and product performance by embedding robust engineering practices across the supplier ecosystem.

What you will be working on

  • Assess supplier quality and technology gaps, and execute plans to address them.
  • Review and influence Design Engineering early in design phase to achieve target costs and DFx. Identify areas for cost down during design phase plus manufacturing methods and eliminate waste.
  • Evaluate supplier processes and risks; collaborate to improve capabilities through lean supplier development methods (i.e. six sigma) and implement mitigation plans.
  • Apply engineering and material science expertise with suppliers to boost capacity, product quality, yield and reduce cost.
  • Partner with Category leaders to drive long-term category strategies to support aggressive production scaling.
  • Align development efforts with long-term category strategies and develop partners within the suppliers.
  • Conduct on-site supplier assessments (capabilities, MSA, PCS/SPCE, etc) and identify gaps during selection.
  • Implement improvement plans with suppliers to ensure readiness and support NPI.
  • Coordinate globally with Business/Key Product Unit Engineering teams to meet end-use specifications.
  • Advance manufacturing capabilities, DFMEA / FMEA, and implement Process Control Systems, PFMEA, at key sites.
  • Support statistical PCS / SPC (lean six sigma) data analysis for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Perform root cause failure analysis and report findings to relevant teams.
  • Lead supplier engagements, identify potential new potential suppliers to on-board and vet through a thorough capability assessment/
  • Independently manage supplier improvement projects, including onboarding training and qualification.
  • Oversee multiple projects to resolve issues and enhance product performance, reliability, and efficiency.

What we are looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field
  • Minimum 8 years of experience in precision manufacturing, supplier development, or advanced engineering environments
  • Strong understanding of machining, fabrication, surface treatment, or assembly processes for complex mechanical systems in a semiconductor capital equipment manufacturing environment or similiar high-tech equipment manufacturing environment
  • Proven experience applying SPC, process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk), and measurement system analysis (MSA)
  • Hands-on experience with structured problem solving (8D, root cause analysis) in a production environment
  • Solid knowledge of DFx principles and the interface between design and manufacturing
  • Ability to interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing tolerances in high-precision applications
  • Strong technical communication skills, with the ability to influence engineering and supplier stakeholders globally
  • Ability to operate independently in a matrixed, cross-functional environment

What sets you apart

  • Knowledge of Applied Operational and Engineering Statistical Methods
  • FMEA include Design FMEA (DFMEA) and Process FMEA (PFMEA)
  • Operational Excellence tools including Failure Analysis, Lean Manufacturing, Value Stream Mapping
  • Project Management, Escalation Management and Communication Techniques across a broad range of business escalation types, (Customer, Supplier, Technical, Manufacturing, etc.)
  • Should costing estimate modeling (aPriori)

Apply today to be part of what’s next.

We make the tech that enables the chips in devices which improve lives around the world. We do this with an eye to the future, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through cutting-edge innovation, and driving the next wave of technological breakthroughs that shape how we live, work, and connect.
