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 inChandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

This is an on-site role.

• As a Defectivity Industrialization Architect in the Industrialization Group you will take the lead in defining defectivity performance requirements while supporting the hardware projects, consisting of hardware designers, supplier quality engineers and manufacturing engineers. You will secure product reliability and performance by reducing defectivity /particle related DOA's that impact the lifetime and performance of the ASML EUV source products.
• You will support resolution of particle contamination issues through, design architecture, design specifications, detailed design reviews, materials analysis, root cause analysis, and structural solving.
• You will partner with the engineering team to industrialize the product by generating a roadmap linked to a design that can be built at ASML Suppliers and Factory, that meets Quality, Cost, and Logistics requirements....
• You will ensure that installed base hardware designs meet defectivity specifications in the build phase and in the field. Finally, with your expertise you contribute to the knowledge growth of our group, working together and coaching your team members.

• BS (required), MS / PhD in Materials Science, Tribology, Surface Science, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical Engineering or related, with a focus on material behavior
• Strong background in one or more areas of interest to the Defectivity Project:
  • Materials science and engineering / nanotechnology background
  • Tribology, wear resistance of coatings and materials
  • Plasma physics, electrostatics and materials compatibility
  • Small particle behavior in liquid/gas flows and high vacuum
  • Chemistry of surfaces, intermetallic interaction and vacuum grade cleanliness
  • Chemistry of organic material analysis
• Experience with instrumentation and interpretation used to study nano-scale particles, such as SEM, EDX, AES, SIMS, AFM, optical/confocal microscopy
• Basic experience with material behavior predictive modeling and methods, including "first principles" engineering equations and other techniques.
• Strong skills in proof of concept development and design of experiments for a wide range of project needs.
• Demonstrated ability to derive conclusions from analysis and to make practical recommendations.
• Project management skills with the ability to organize and drive progress with stakeholders in a matrix organization.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills, including the ability to present results based on strong statistical evidence to audiences of a wide range of technical abilities
• Take direction from ASML System Architects and Senior Engineering mentors who are leading the development effort of critical capital equipment.
• Exposure to multi-disciplinary projects, such as robotics, mechatronics, or optical systems preferred but not required.
• Be an advocate on behalf of reducing particulate contamination in hardware designs

• 5+ years of experience in systems design, with solid theoretical and practical experience with precision machined parts, optics, or mechatronics, preferably in the semiconductor industry
• Experience with measurement tools and setting up experiments
• Exposure to multi-disciplinary projects, such as robotics, mechatronics, or optical systems preferred but not required.

• A challenging opportunity to expand your knowledge in a wide variety of engineering application areas and to work on problems spanning all technical fields.
• Highly creative and qualified teams with a diversity of experience.
• Great career opportunities at a quickly growing high-tech company.
• World class technical problems to solve
