ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Senior Engineer I - Controls Engineer

ASM | Simulation & Modeling Hub | Almere, Netherlands

Design, tune and validate control systems for ASM semiconductor process tools, with an emphasis on precision temperature control. Work with experienced controls engineers and equipment and process teams to translate process requirements into control strategies, then verify their performance on physical tools. The role combines dynamic modeling, controller development and hands-on testing, with opportunities to take ownership of control functions.

Responsibilities

• Translate process and equipment needs into measurable control requirements for temperature accuracy, stability, uniformity, repeatability and response during recipe changes.
• Design and tune feedback and feedforward control strategies for heating and cooling systems. Address interactions between zones and account for sensor and actuator limits.
• Plan and run tests on laboratory and production-representative equipment. Analyze sensor and actuator data, use system identification to develop or calibrate dynamic models, and compare predictions with measured responses.
• Work with software, equipment and process engineers to integrate control logic, troubleshoot performance on the tool, and support commissioning and validation.
• Document control logic, test procedures, tuning parameters and validation results so other engineers can reproduce tests and maintain the controls.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Required qualifications

• Degree in controls, electrical, mechanical or mechatronics engineering, applied physics, or related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience designing, testing or tuning closed-loop controls on physical equipment. Relevant industry, laboratory or applied research projects are welcome.
• Working proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink or an equivalent environment for dynamic modeling, data analysis and control design. Familiarity with system identification and instrumentation.
• Ability to troubleshoot equipment methodically and communicate results to colleagues across engineering disciplines.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Preferred experience

• Precision temperature control, heat transfer or thermal instrumentation in semiconductor equipment or other precision industrial systems.
• Experience with multizone or cascade control, model-based control, sensor calibration or equipment commissioning.
• Experience with Simcenter Amesim or other tools for modeling system dynamics and validating control strategies.
