Introduction to the job
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 Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.
A well-rounded mechatronics engineer in this position will work on mechatronics, motion control, product and system integration and software functionality, all specific to ASML products. The main focus will be mechatronics and control systems on advanced modules in metrology tools. Candidate should have direct experience in the design and test of mechatronic systems and control systems.
Occasional travel to Europe, Asia and within the US can be expected.
This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
Role and responsibilities
Design and develop custom mechatronics systems with a cross sector team, including translating stages, linear motors, BLDC's, sensors, servos, actuators, dynamics, controls, etc.
Troubleshoot designs to determine potential risks, failure modes, and corrective actions.
Responsible for "sustaining engineering" tasks, resolving equipment design issues in a timely fashion as they arise at customer sites.
Participate in concept designs and experiments for future equipment and subsystems.
Run complex mechatronic systems for test and qualification of design changes.
Design quality products using six sigma and lean process techniques for robust designs.
Create documentation for product designs and operations to be used in a clean manufacturing environment
Assess and address technical and operational risks based on input of architects and design engineers
Coordinate external suppliers and developers involved in product design
