Introduction to the jobASML 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.This position may require 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 the Company to proceed with candidates who are
immediately eligible to access controlled technology.Role and
responsibilitiesWe have an exciting opportunity for a Senior
Controls Engineer to join EUV Source team in San Diego, Ca. The EUV
source team operates in a fast-paced, uniquely innovative and
challenging environment to create new-to-industry solutions with
rapid productization to support an aggressive commercialization
plan for the EUV technology within ASML. The Controls Department is
responsible for the development and engineering of the control
loops for the EUV light source system.The complexity of the EUV
source puts exciting and challenging demands on the Control
Engineers who will be engaged in all phases of the control system
development and integration involving sophisticated control
algorithms, real-time embedded software, high speed electronics,
precision sensors, and all working under extremely challenging
dynamic conditions to produce stable EUV light.Duties and
Responsibilities:
- Serve as a technical expert for one or more control subsystems,
capable of independent decision making for critical technical
issues.
- Perform feasibility studies, support the development of product
road maps, advise on future product definition and system
specifications.
- Monitor integrity of system architecture during development,
ensure the availability of Test Specifications, and coordinate or
execute the testing process and design verification.
- Coordinate the specification of system functionalities, and
design the system architecture based whilst ensuring commonality
between products and subsystems across all programs, support
program definition, co-ordinate decomposition and specification of
sub systems, and support the review process and approval of designs
in co-operation with applicable Product- and Project-
Management.
