Prinicpal Engineer, Data, BIA & AI - Architect

ASM is growing rapidly, and the way we work must scale with that ambition. Since our sales, data volumes and operational complexity continue to increase, we cannot simply keep doing the same work in the same way. AI and automation are essential to helping ASM learn faster, make better decisions and grow without multiplying complexity.  

In support of Digital Transformation, the AI Architect will shape how Artificial Intelligence is applied practically and at scale across ASM, connecting business outcomes, end-to-end processes, trusted data, AI solutions and enterprise platforms into a coherent architecture. 

This is a hands-on architecture and solutioning role within ASM’s Global Digital Transformation organization and Data & AI Intelligence capability. The AI Architect will own the enterprise AI architecture and target-state roadmap while working directly with business teams to explore opportunities, select suitable AI capabilities, shape integrated solutions, build prototypes and guide them into production. The role takes an end-to-end view from process opportunity and data readiness through solution and model selection, integration, deployment, adoption, monitoring and measurable impact. 

The AI Architect will assess the current landscape and define a pragmatic plan for where to reuse, integrate, configure, extend, replace or add capabilities. In a later phase, where a clear business case and sufficient data readiness exists, the architect may also evaluate whether an existing model could be adapted and grounded with ASM-specific equipment data. 

• Minimum Degree in data science, information technology, computer science, mathematics, engineering, business administration, or a related field. 
• Minimum 7 years of experience in enterprise, solution, data, cloud or comparable architecture roles, including ownership of complex end-to-end designs. 
• Minimum 2 years of practical experience designing and delivering AI-enabled business solutions, Generative AI, Copilots, automation or Agentic AI. 
• Strong understanding of enterprise AI solution patterns, including model and service selection, Copilots, RAG, embeddings, agents, orchestration, evaluation, integration, observability and operationalization; sufficient model knowledge to assess trade-offs without requiring a research or model-development background. 
• Hands-on solutioning experience with APIs, cloud AI services, enterprise integration, workflow automation, prototyping tools, source control, automated testing and CI/CD; the ability to use Python or comparable languages to validate concepts is beneficial. 
• Ability to translate process and business outcomes into scalable, operable AI solutions and guide teams from exploration through production and adoption. 
• Good understanding of responsible AI, and AI governance. 
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, and familiarity with modern data and AI platforms. 
• A strong drive to understand ASM’s business operations, semiconductor equipment, end-to-end processes and commercial products. 
• Action-oriented and pragmatic, able to move quickly, experiment intelligently and simplify complexity while maintaining sound architecture discipline. 
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex AI choices and trade-offs to business leaders and technical teams. 
• Outcome-driven mindset focused on adoption, speed to value, scalability, resilience, cost efficiency and measurable impact. 

• Experience with Databricks, Microsoft Copilot or Copilot Studio, SAP Joule, Azure AI, AWS AI/ML, Google Cloud AI or comparable enterprise AI platforms. 
• Experience working in a semiconductor, engineering, or high-tech manufacturing environment.
