Principal Engineer, Software Engineering

As a Principal Engineer in Software Engineering, you will play a key technical role in developing the software that directly powers ASM’s advanced semiconductor equipment. Your work will have an immediate, visible impact on highly complex semiconductor systems combining robotics, motion control, thermal systems, and process intelligence. 

In this role, you will provide technical leadership across software design, architecture, development, integration, and release execution. You will work closely with software, hardware, process, and system engineering teams to deliver robust equipment software while helping evolve our software architecture and engineering practices for future product generations. 

• Provide technical leadership for the design, development, integration, and delivery of software for advanced packaging and hybrid bonding equipment. 

• Contribute to and influence software architecture decisions supporting product scalability, maintainability, performance, and long-term evolution. 

• Develop and maintain high-quality software, with strong hands-on involvement in C++ design, implementation, troubleshooting, and code review. 

• Lead technically complex software features and subsystems from requirements through implementation, integration, validation, and release. 

• Support software development planning and execution across product releases and software baselines. 

• Collaborate closely with software quality teams to embed quality throughout the software development lifecycle. 

• Work cross-functionally with process engineering, hardware engineering, controls, and system integration teams to deliver tightly integrated equipment software. 

• Diagnose and resolve complex software and system-level problems involving interactions between software, hardware, robotics, motion control, and process systems. 

• Champion disciplined engineering practices including software design, code reviews, testing, build management, configuration management, and version control. 

• Mentor and provide technical guidance to software engineers, helping strengthen engineering capability and technical excellence across the team. 

• Contribute to software technology direction, architecture evolution, and continuous improvement initiatives. 

We make the tech that enables the chips in devices which improve lives around the world. We do this with an eye to the future, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through cutting-edge innovation, and driving the next wave of technological breakthroughs that shape how we live, work, and connect.
