Senior Systems Engineer (II), Sensor Technology
Originally posted 3 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
The Senior Systems Engineer (II), Sensor Technology leads the development, integration, qualification, and deployment of sensor technologies across ASM product platforms. This role combines technical expertise with project leadership to define sensor requirements, integrate sensing systems into semiconductor equipment, and develop analytical methods that improve process understanding and equipment performance.
What you'll do
- Define sensor architectures, performance requirements, interfaces, and validation strategies for semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Lead the integration of sensors with hardware, firmware, software, and control systems, including spectroscopy, optical, thermal, pressure, flow, plasma, and gas sensors.
- Develop and implement data acquisition architectures, calibration routines, and synchronization methodologies for multi-sensor systems.
- Apply statistical analysis, signal processing, and machine learning techniques to extract insights from equipment datasets and establish health-monitoring metrics.
- Lead sensor development projects from concept through verification, qualification, and deployment.
- Drive proof-of-concept studies, sensor characterization, and design reviews focused on performance, scalability, and robustness.
What you'll need
- Expertise in systems engineering, sensor technologies, and data analytics across multidisciplinary hardware and software environments.
- Experience with integration and characterization of sensing technologies such as spectroscopy, chemical, imaging, temperature, pressure, optical, or plasma sensors.
- Experience developing data acquisition architectures and validation methodologies for complex equipment.
- Background applying statistical analysis, signal processing, or machine learning to sensor and equipment datasets.
- Track record of leading multidisciplinary engineering projects through concept, qualification, and release.
