Introduction to the job

ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring 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, Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

As a Mechatronics New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineer within Development & Engineering, you will be operating in a fast paced and multidisciplinary development environment. Using a combination of technical and personal skills, the NPI engineers develops and maintains a relationship with our suppliers to drive the industrialization efforts of the manufacturing process of mechanical components and parts. This individual works closely with the suppliers and ASML cross-sector development teams to optimize the effectiveness and efficiency of the product generation process, in alignment with the ASML project.
