Semiconductor Reactor and System Level Modeling Enginee
Originally posted 9 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Join ASM’s Simulation and Collaboration Hub to develop predictive reactor and system-level models for semiconductor process tools. Combine dynamic system modeling with CFD, thermal and structural analysis to support equipment design, process performance, and digital twin development.
What you'll do
- Develop dynamic models of gas delivery, pressure and vacuum systems, heating systems, sensors and actuators using MATLAB/Simulink and Simcenter Amesim.
- Perform CFD, thermal, and structural simulations to evaluate flow distribution, temperature uniformity, and mechanical performance.
- Connect detailed physics simulations with system-level and reduced-order models to assess transient behavior and subsystem interactions.
- Design bench experiments, identify model parameters, and calibrate and validate models against measured data.
- Collaborate with design, process, and controls teams to recommend improvements and support control strategy development.
What you'll need
- Master’s or PhD in mechanical, chemical, aerospace engineering or a related field, or a bachelor’s degree with relevant industry experience.
- Hands-on dynamic system modeling experience using MATLAB/Simulink and Simcenter Amesim.
- Strong foundation in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, structural mechanics, and numerical methods.
- Experience with CFD and thermal/structural tools such as STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent/Mechanical or equivalent.
- Knowledge of system identification, parameter estimation, model validation, and control fundamentals.
Nice to have
- Experience with semiconductor process equipment, particularly ALD, PEALD, epitaxy, or CVD.
- Experience with gas delivery components, vacuum systems, heated precursor vessels, and wafer heating systems.
Skills: dynamic models, gas delivery, vacuum systems, heating systems, MATLAB/Simulink

How we counted: 3718 open Semiconductor Equipment Engineering (Manufacturing Equipment) roles from 82 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 9 Oct 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there — it is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row.
