The report I referenced includes this excerpt about Asians in STEM:

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2020a) 2019 ACS, Asians and Whites represent a greater share of STEM (9% and 65%, respectively) compared to all Asians and all Whites in the U.S. workforce (6% and 61%, respectively) (Figure LBR-23). However, the representation of Asians in STEM is primarily driven by their representation among STEM workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher (16%), whereas Asians are underrepresented among STEM workers without a bachelor’s degree, or the STW (4%). In contrast, Whites represent a greater share of STEM workers with at least a bachelor’s degree (66%) and of the STW (65%).

The full report (The STEM Labor Force of Today: Scientists, Engineers, and Skilled Technical Workers) is long and includes lots of information. I didn't see the level of detail you're seeking, but there may be other sources with that information.

There is a Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE). I don't know anything about them, but here's a link to their web site:

Here's a link for their chapter at Texas A&M University;
