Description

Introduction to the job

ASML US, LP 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.

Development and Engineering (D&E) sector is responsible for the specification, design and integration of the ASML machines.

In this sector, the Mechanical Development department (MDEV), specifies designs and does the functional integration of the various (sub-) modules and architectures related to the tin mitigation hardware, tin handling, vacuum vessel, frames, flow and thermal domains.

D&E sector consist of discipline
- and function-oriented groups where emphasis lies on particular knowledge/skills, architecture or modules in ASML machines. The EUV lithography light source machine at ASML starts with understanding the functional requirements, deriving specifications, and overseeing design quality. The Mechanical Architect plays an integral role in defining, documenting, and enforcing that functional requirements are driven into the design in a practical, safe, manufacturable, serviceable, and cost effect manner.

Role and responsibilities

Develops the roadmap, requirements, specifications, architecture, and technology development needs for the Mechanical Architecture of EUV Source modules, which is required to improve HW lifetime, MTTR/MTBF and overall system availability.
Identifies concepts that can address performance gaps; assesses technology maturity and defines the development and engineering work breakdown for execution by crossfunctional teams of seasoned scientists and engineers.
Leads architecture and prototyping definition; works with crossfunctional teams of mechanical engineers, materials scientists, optical, electrical and software engineers to develop solutions to roadmap.
Develops and maintains the specification document tree; writes and/or reviews key specification and design documentation, coordinates key reviews with Systems Engineering and Project Stakeholders to ensure functional specifications are aligned to system requirements.
Identifies and engages third parties for development of technology solutions; Creates Statements of Work (SOWs) to define phased deliverables for budgeting and project management.
Defines Test Protocols; analyzes test data; makes recommendations based on test results for design changes and operational changes to deliver improved performance of submodules.
Assesses technology and project risks and defines risk mitigation strategies and approaches with the project leadership team.
Mentors, coaches and oversees the activity of junior engineers
Performs other duties as assigned or required.
