Sr. Manager New Product Manufacturing ROLE WILL BE BASED IN PHOENIX, AZ-Relocation provided.

Do you want to bring your experience constructing and managing some of the world's most complex New Product Bill of Materials to ASM?

This may be the role you are looking for! Our Phoenix location is our largest R&D Center.

Additionally, you should be able to quickly understand the theory of operation for highly complex CVD, vacuum based systems like ours, and aptly decide who within the team can best support and provide guidance for each NPI effort.

The US based team is just under 10 people with real potential to grow in the future. Team members include a mix of both seasoned and new-grad New Product Manufacturing Engineers, as well as highly skilled and long tenured Technicians.

Between them all, they bring knowledge of many different industries, sophisticated machine shop insights, and DFx skills from the contract manufacturing world.

  • Lead the NPI engineering team in providing technical support for new product builds, both in-house and at supplier sites.
  • Incorporate quality control into build and test processes to ensure new product quality.
  • Provide leadership to cross functional NPI manufacturing team to support Lab tool / evaluation system builds.
