Role overview
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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
Required qualifications
- 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.
- Strong analytical, communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred experience
- Semiconductor process equipment, particularly ALD, PEALD, epitaxy or CVD.
- Gas delivery components, vacuum systems, heated precursor vessels and wafer heating systems.
- Experimental design, DAQ, sensor and actuator characterization, and closed-loop control.
- Reduced-order modeling, co-simulation and digital twin development.
Position level
- Level and scope will reflect the selected candidate’s experience and demonstrated capabilities.
