Foundation Proto Operations Engineer - 2nd Shift

Introduction to the job

Within ASML, the sector of Development & Engineering (D&E) is responsible for the specification and design of ASML products. The Proto Operations team in the Foundation supports the Top (TMM RMM) and Module integrations with subsystem level Test-Rigs; drives the planning of these test activities; reports on status and progress; maintains and drives the configurations and needed adjustments to the Test-Rigs;

ensures an integral test-rig roadmap for Wilton D&E.

As a Proto Engineer you will be part of an interdisciplinary team, of the Foundation Proto Engineering team and the members of the System Integration guild, that tests and integrates our systems for Development and Engineering (D&E). Our Wilton prototype modules consists of an intricate network of optics, electronics, mechatronics, and control systems. As a member of the Machine Integration Team (MIT), your role as a Proto Engineer is key to building a better product through testing, issue identification and resolution, and finding potential design and process improvements.

Being responsible to build in and test proto hardware and software (reticle stage & handler, wafer alignment sensor, wafer table, etc) on an fully functional Twinscan Prototype or Test Rig with minimum lead-time and maximum quality. Be expert on Top module and system operations and troubleshooting to optimize uptime availability and minimize downtime. For operating and maintaining test rigs used for design qualification, integration, reliability, and issue resolution.

Also contribute towards an optimal design for the complete product and the creation of the product documentation necessary for pilot production.

• Maintain and operate D&E test rigs for new product qualification, integration and issue resolution
• Review and contribute to test plans to ensure efficient use of the test rig
• Ensure test is executed by following test plan and operational procedures
• Diagnose, troubleshoot and report issues in the module design to improve system performance
• Carry out and/or assist the integration, build in/build out, and troubleshoot activities on test rigs
• Provide technical support to other D&E engineers, as a generalist
• Monitor test rig performance within set parameters
• Keep test rig, hardware and software, configuration up to date
• Transfer machine status and issue list to next shift, pass down
• Train other proto engineers and technicians in test rig operation and troubleshoot.
• Ensure safe working environment and work according 5S principles

• BS degree in technical field and 2+ years of relevant experience.
• Master's Degree preferred in relevant technical field.
• Experienced practitioner, able to work unsupervised.
• Software Engineering experience is a plus

• Requirements, Interfaces & Technical Specification Management:
  Ability to identify, analyze, document, and manage requirements with traceability, translate them into clear specifications, and align interfaces so engineering deliverables meet intent and enable reliable downstream design, integration, and verification.
• Engineering Solution Development:
  Ability to develop engineering concepts and solutions, make sound technical tradeoffs, resolve issues, and realize designs that meet functionality, performance, cost, compliance, and schedule constraints within system/module specifications.
• Integration, Verification & Validation (V&V) Execution:
  Ability to plan and execute verification and validation, ensure qualification evidence supports release readiness, and support system/product integration by coordinating dependencies and applying disciplined configuration/traceability to deliver working, testable solutions.
• Drives Results:
  The ability to translate strategic and technical goals into clear priorities, execution plans, and measurable outcomes, delivering committed results on time and with the right quality by taking ownership, managing trade-offs, removing obstacles, and sustaining momentum across stakeholders and dependencies.
• Values Differences:
  The ability to intentionally seek, respect, and integrate diverse perspectives and working styles to strengthen collaboration and decision quality, ensuring all voices are heard and treated equitably, and enabling inclusive execution across cross-functional and multicultural stakeholders.
