  • Verify tool setup, startup, and operational performance meet specifications
  • Train local Field Service Engineers (FSEs) and ensure full operational readiness
  • Confirm local teams are fully qualified to independently support the tool
  • Support regional escalations during NPI and drive rapid resolution
  • Travel domestically and internationally as required (typically 50% minimum, including extended travel


What We Are Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree in technical field (Engineering, Chemistry, Computer Science) or equivalent technical training

  • 3+ years of experience at ASM or directly related experience (ALD, PEALD, EPI, PECVD, CVD)
  • 5+ years of experience in the electronic or semiconductor industry preferred
  • Experience supporting tool installation, qualification, and ramp in semiconductor fabs
  • Knowledge of structured troubleshooting (hypothesis-based problem solving)
  • Familiarity with escalation management and field support models


What Sets You Apart

  • Experience with ASM platforms (XP8, Synergis, Intrepid, Prominis)
  • Ability to handle customer situations, develop action plans, and drive resolution with ASM and customers
  • Strong team collaboration skills with the ability to work independently and lead meetings
  • Structured, logic-based troubleshooting skills with the ability to coach others
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, multifunctional environment independently
  • Strong multitasking and organizational capabilities
  • Advanced electrical, mechanical, and overall system knowledge (hardware, software, process)
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, SharePoint, and familiarity with SAP
