Semiconductor Reactor and System Level Modeling Enginee

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. 

• →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. 

• 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. 

• 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. 

• Level and scope will reflect the selected candidate’s experience and demonstrated capabilities.
