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. Senior Engineer, Process Engineering | Global R&D Process Engineering Program [Epitaxy] As a Senior Engineer, Process Engineering within ASM’s Global R&D Process Engineering Program, you will develop next‑generation semiconductor technologies. For the first 18 to 24 months, you will onboard into a comprehensive development program, combining structured learning with hands‑on work using ASM’s world‑leading semiconductor processing equipment. This phase is designed to accelerate technical depth, process mastery, and integration into ASM’s global R&D community. Following the initial 18 to 24 months in the Global R&D Process Engineering Program, you will relocate to one of ASM’s state‑of‑the‑art R&D centers in Japan, Korea, or the United States (Arizona ) for a permanent role. You will apply the technical depth and process expertise you have developed to advance new technologies at the core of one of ASM’s key business units, working closely with leading scientists, engineers, and product teams to translate innovation into industrial impact. Responsibilities Work with semiconductor processing equipment to research, develop and optimize processes focused on the deposition of Si and SiGe based materials via Epitaxy Conduct experiments, measurements and drive conclusions out of complex experimental data sets Develop innovative ideas, staying abreast of state-of-the-art processing applications in the semiconductor industry to be effective Work hands-on with state-of-the-art semiconductor process equipment and optimize processes alongside the hardware for maximum efficiency Communicate effectively with other ASM and customers R&D teams to understand and define requirements in order to successfully execute projects and demonstrations Ensure successful product transfers to customers by performing demonstrations, knowledge transfer, and traveling when needed to support other ASM sites We could be a great match for each other if you have: PhD degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science, preferably with a thesis related to the semiconductor (or adjacent industries) Prior experience with epitaxy techniques (e.g., RPCVD, MOCVD, MBE) and their characterization methods (e.g., AFM, XRD, TEM, SIMS, electrical characterization and ellipsometry) Prior Knowledge of group IV epitaxy is a plus (e.g., Si, Ge, SiGe) Demonstrated understanding of semiconductor physics, processing equipment technology, and/or advanced chemistries A curious mindset, able to synthesize the complex and drive pragmatic solutions forward The ability to plan, execute and communicate projects from beginning to end and across stakeholders The passion and drive to take charge of your career, grabbing professional and personal development opportunities with both hands Work location & transfer requirements: For your first 18-24 months, you’ll complete your training at one of our flagship process development hubs in Leuven (Belgium), in or Helsinki (Finland), Upon completion, you will transfer to one of our Key Product Unit (KPU) Process teams for a permanent role in ASM in: Phoenix, Arizona, US Why join ASM? Be part of ASM’s long‑term investment in R&D talent, with a program explicitly designed to accelerate your career through a program designed to develop future technical leaders within the organization. Be part of a globally respected, financially strong technology leader in ALD, with a strong, long‑term vision, a values‑driven culture, and a deep legacy of materials discovery and innovation backed by a defensible IP portfolio Process Engineering at ASM is rooted in scientific rigor and technical excellence, with original thinking, teamwork, and creation of high‑impact intellectual property driving technology roadmaps and real‑world innovation 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.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
