Since joining ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã 13 years ago, Eugene Yap has worked with some of ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s most complex detection and review systems. The operations and manufacturing design manager said a majority of his work has been focused on ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s electron-beam (e-beam) products, which he proudly refers to as a ¡°game changer.¡±
He said that among ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s broad portfolio of systems that detect defects, ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s e-beam is truly unique. With innovative electron optics and integrated artificial intelligence (AI), ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s e-beam inspector detects much smaller defects compared to other systems and yields higher-resolution imagery.
Eugene, who works from ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s Singapore office, said ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã is a great place to work for those who want to build a career and succeed in the engineering field, both personally and professionally. At ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã, he¡¯s learned the value of perseverance, one of ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s core values, and the benefits of embracing pressures, taking on challenges and making technical advancements.
¡°I¡¯m a soccer fan. I see us working in the organization as a soccer team. Everyone must play a part, from strikers and goalies to coaches. We must work as a team toward one goal.¡± ¨C Eugene Yap, operations and manufacturing design manager at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã
Eugene first joined ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã as a manufacturing engineer for e-beam operations. In that role, he was responsible for transferring product knowledge from the former San Jose, California, office to Singapore. A couple of years later, he became a manager. After his team gradually grew, he oversaw the e-beam operations new product introduction group before being promoted to his current role three years ago.

Eugene takes great pride in ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã¡¯s technology leadership and believes anyone who wants to learn about the latest, greatest technology and help shape the future should work here. He¡¯s also proud of the tremendous sense of community at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã.
¡°The e-beam division and Singapore ops team are very cohesive, regardless of whether you¡¯re located in Singapore or Milpitas,¡± Eugene said. ¡°We really want ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã and our division to be successful, and everyone is helping one another to work toward this same goal. This means a lot to me.¡± ¨C Eugene Yap, operations and manufacturing design manager at ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã
