Field Service Engineer – Military (Austin, TX)
At ASM, we value the technical expertise, discipline, and mission-driven mindset that military professionals bring. As a Field Service Engineer, you’ll apply your hands-on experience to support advanced semiconductor equipment, helping our customers keep critical manufacturing operations running at peak performance.
This role offers a direct transition into a high-tech environment where your troubleshooting skills, systems thinking, and ability to operate under pressure translate immediately into impact. You’ll work on technologies that enable AI, 5G, and next-generation devices, supporting some of the world’s most advanced fabs.
You will begin with a structured 24-month assignment in Hillsboro, OR, where you will build on your technical foundation and develop deep expertise in ASM systems, operating methodologies, and customer support practices. Working alongside experienced field and product teams, you will gain hands-on exposure to complex semiconductor manufacturing equipment and processes, including vacuum technology, plasma systems, robotics, chemical delivery, advanced sensors, and control software. This phase is designed to ensure strong technical readiness, operational discipline, and alignment before transitioning into a critical role supporting a new site.
Following this training period, you will relocate to Austin, TX to play a key role in the startup of a new fab, joining a growing Field Service Engineering team from the ground up. In this environment, you will not only provide expert-level tool support but also operate as a technical lead—driving startup readiness, leading structured problem-solving efforts, coordinating escalations, and mentoring newer engineers.
This role offers high visibility and impact from day one, requiring you to build trusted customer relationships, establish strong technical and operational standards, and help scale a new operation successfully. Your work will directly influence system performance, uptime, and overall customer success, making you an integral part of both the immediate startup effort and the long-term growth of the organization.
