With your strategic mindset and hands-on expertise, you'll drive scalability, quality, and efficiency, shaping the future of advanced manufacturing at ASM.

What you will be working on

• Lead DFx initiatives (Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, Test, Cost, and Sustainability) to ensure equipment designs are optimized for production at scale.
• Work as a strategic partner with engineering teams to align product innovation with manufacturability, speeding up development and delivery.
• Oversee end-to-end manufacturing strategy-from prototyping to high-volume production-ensuring quality, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Collaborate with supply chain, quality, and R&D stakeholders across global operations to drive cross-functional success.
• Guide, mentor, and inspire junior engineers to build a high-performing, solution-oriented team.
• Introduce new manufacturing methodologies and technologies to help ASM stay ahead of industry trends.
• Navigate and resolve complex challenges in fast-paced environments with a solutions-first mindset.
• Provide executive-level insights on feasibility, cost, and timelines to shape the future of ASM's product strategy.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor's or higher degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Electrical preferred).
• At least 10 years of experience in manufacturing or new product introduction, ideally within semiconductor or precision equipment industries.
• Deep expertise in DFx principles with a proven record of delivering scalable, high-quality equipment.
• Strong leadership guiding design and manufacturing teams toward commercial success.
• Demonstrated experience scaling complex tools like ALD or epitaxy systems.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
• A collaborative spirit and positive attitude with a passion for leading change.

What sets you apart

• Advanced skills in semiconductor equipment troubleshooting (plasma, deposition, or ion implant).
• Experience applying FMEA and predictive maintenance strategies.
• Hands-on capabilities in machining, welding, and prototyping.
• Proficiency with SAP S/4HANA, Power BI, Tableau, or Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• A curious, creative mindset reflected in personal technical projects-whether building robotics, restoring radios, or automating home systems.
