Senior Manufacturing Engineer – Advanced Semiconductor Systems

Introduction To The Job

ASML's Manufacturing Engineering team supports the production of highly complex optical, mechanical, electrical, and system-level assemblies used in advanced lithography systems.

As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will drive process development, optimization, and sustainment in a high-tech manufacturing environment, ensuring stable, capable, and cost-efficient processes from early design through volume production.

This posting includes three positions, each supporting a specific manufacturing area:
New Product Introduction (NPI), Top-Level System Integration, and Optics. Final assignment will be based on the candidate's experience and alignment with business needs.

• Own and sustain manufacturing processes to ensure quality, yield, and throughput performance

• Lead process development and NPI activities, including manufacturing readiness, pilot builds, and transition to volume production

• Translate product and design requirements into robust manufacturing processes, documentation, and control plans

• Apply structured problem-solving methods (SPC, DOE, FMEA, root cause analysis) to improve process capability and reduce variation

• Analyze manufacturing and test data (yield trends, paretos, Cpk) to identify improvement opportunities and drive corrective actions

• Troubleshoot complex issues across optical, electro-mechanical, and system-level builds and tests

• Partner cross-functionally with Design, Quality, and Production to resolve issues and improve product robustness

• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (work instructions, standard work, control plans, BOMs)

• Execute change management activities (COs, TDNs) to ensure controlled process updates

• Identify and implement improvements to yield, cycle time, cost, and equipment performance using Lean principles

• Support equipment qualification, tooling improvements, and production readiness activities

• Provide hands-on support on the production floor and in cleanroom environments

• Train and support technicians and production staff on processes and best practices

Lead new product introduction and process development, ensuring smooth transition from design to manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive manufacturing readiness, pilot builds, and product launches

• Develop end-to-end manufacturing processes (flows, PFMEA, control plans)

• Partner with design teams to ensure manufacturability (DFM)

• Lead process validation activities (DOE, GR&R, MSA)

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related Engineering field

• 5+ years of experience in NPI, process development, or product transfer

• Experience with DOE, FMEA, SPC, and validation methodologies

• Experience working with cross-functional teams (Design, Supply Chain, Quality)

• Strong background in process documentation and change management

Support integration, assembly, and test of complex system-level builds, including laser and electro-mechanical systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own system-level manufacturing processes for integration and final test

• Troubleshoot complex electro-mechanical and system-level issues

• Analyze system performance data and improve stability and throughput

• Support system build, qualification, and production ramp

Education and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or related Engineering field

• 5+ years of experience in system integration, complex assemblies, or manufacturing engineering

• Experience troubleshooting multi-disciplinary systems (mechanical, electrical, software)

• Experience with test systems, system validation, and production builds

• Familiarity with high-tech or semiconductor manufacturing environments

Support and optimize high-precision optical assembly and test processes, ensuring quality and performance of optics and alignment systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and improve optical assembly and alignment processes

• Troubleshoot optical system performance and test failures

• Support metrology tools and optical test systems

• Drive improvements in precision…
