Principal / Senior Engineer, Supplier Development
Core
Technical authority driving supplier capability in precision manufacturing, process control, and quality systems to enable scalable, high-yield production aligned with ASM's technology roadmap.
Role type
Principal/Senior Supplier Development Engineer
Builds
Scalable, high-yield production of semiconductor capital equipment
Domain
Semiconductor manufacturing / Precision engineering
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> physical/clinical work (Note: This is a manufacturing role, so 'physical/clinical work' is the closest fit for hands-on engineering/manufacturing output, but strictly speaking, the deliverable is 'production features' or 'infrastructure'. Let's refine based on the 'Deliverable' options provided in the prompt instructions: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. This role builds manufacturing capabilities and processes. 'Infrastructure' or 'product features' (in the context of manufacturing processes) fits best. However, the prompt asks to pick one. The role builds the *capability* to produce. Let's select 'infrastructure' as it builds the manufacturing infrastructure/processes, or 'product features' if viewed as enabling the product. Given the heavy focus on process control and supplier capability, 'infrastructure' (manufacturing infrastructure) is appropriate. Wait, the options are specific. Let's look at the work: 'Advance manufacturing capabilities...'. This is building the manufacturing infrastructure. Let's use 'infrastructure'.)
