Research Engineer - 2nd Shift

Role and responsibilities

ASML US brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world’s leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.

Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Wilton, CT, Chandler, AZ, San Jose, CA and San Diego, CA.

As a Research Engineer on 2nd shift, you will be responsible for performing numerous activities during the preparation and demonstration of developed technology on a Research EUV light source machine. You will possess intimate knowledge of Research/Tech Dev proto machines and provide technical support for all sub-systems of the machine and work with scientists to understand, prepare and execute the research learning activities.

To be effective in the role, candidates must possess interpersonal skills to cross functional and department boundaries and to build constructive and effective relationships across the organization.

• Gain full understanding of the technology, integration and functioning of new modules by reading documentation, and participating in knowledge transfer sessions.
• Develop procedures, troubleshooting activities, and action plans.
• Maintain ownership of the fishbones for system issues and follow a closed loop issue management system for the proto machines.
• Contribute to the PERT for upgrade/integration activities of new modules.
• Be a critical TPS (test plan specification) reviewer for content criticality toward research objectives and readiness for execution on proto machines, from a qualification perspective and a data collection perspective.
• Spend time with scientist to translate TPS’s into sequence of execution during test campaigns.
• Execute the test sequence on the proto machines.
• Support data collection, analysis and review test conclusions for clarity.
• Follow a thorough but flexible process best suited for an organizational ethos that allows idea generation, concept development and demonstration in a fast fail manner.
• Personally conduct and work to prepare all activities reflecting ASML safety culture and programs.
• Deliver technical and progress reports and presentations to upper management and internal / external customers.
• Create and develop innovative ideas pertinent to the development, improvement, or maturity of EUV light sources.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

• Requires an MS and minimum 3 years of experience or BS and minimum of 5 years of experience in Optics, Opto-Mechanics, Electrical/Photonics Engineering, or Physics or Mechanical Engineering, or other related science discipline.
• Experience in technical engineering roles (some experience in a technical or project leadership a plus).
• EUV light source experienced highly desired, especially generalist experience.
• Familiar with the engineering development process from requirements to design to assembly to testing of mechanical and/or opto-mechanical assemblies.
• Demonstrated troubleshooting ability in an individual and team setting.

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you will always have new challenges and new problems to solve – and working together is the only way to do that. You will not work in a silo. Instead, you will be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you will collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view.

You will have the flexibility and trust…
