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 Controls Engineer at Cymer Light Source, you will be
responsible for developing and improving critical controllers and
other algorithms for the Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lasers used in the
manufacture of microchips, to enhance performance, increase
reliability, and increase automation (lower cost). You will work on
systems involving excimer lasers and their optical features (such
as energy, wavelength, and spectral bandwidth), high-speed
mechatronics, gas properties and handling, and ultra-precise signal
timing. You will need to consider system modeling and physics,
signal properties (noise, filtering, frequency content), actuator
and sensor behaviors and limitations, nonlinear coupled and
time-varying plant dynamics, and very large data sets. You will use
a range of techniques and methodologies starting with classical and
modern feedback control methods, and including advanced controls,
signal processing, estimation, optimization, frequency-domain
analysis, stochastics, data science, and clear logical
thinking.
You will collaborate with systems engineers, software and firmware
developers, electrical engineers, hardware designers, Marketing,
and project management to develop concepts, perform engineering
analysis and design, build and test prototypes, generate detailed
requirements, and guide the final algorithms through
implementation, into testing, and out to field production.
"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 applicants who are immediately
eligible to access controlled technology."
Role and responsibilities
The Cymer Light Source team in San Diego operates in a fast-paced,
innovative, and challenging environment to develop DUV lasers and
support technologies to enable both current and future lithography
generations. Our technological solutions deliver both
new-to-industry products and important enhancements that improve
performance and reliability and reduce costs. The projects are
characterized by rapid productization to support an aggressive
deployment plan for the DUV technology within ASML.The Algorithms
Team is responsible for the development and engineering of the
control loops and automation for the laser system.The DUV source is
complex, dynamic, high-precision, and powerful; it demands the
control engineers on the Algorithms Team to engage in the design
and development of sophisticated feedback controllers, algorithms,
signal processing, and data analysis.
Duties and Responsibilities
Serve as a technical expert for one or more control subsystems or
features, capable of independent decision making for critical
technical issues.
Applies broad knowledge in sensors, actuators, control algorithms,
automation, software, signal processing, and data analysis methods
and tools to drive control system improvements to enable improved
laser light properties and higher system availability.
Leads the development and integration of innovative control system
solutions to enable stable, efficient, and reliable production of
DUV light.
Leads the design and building of tools that allow debugging,
analysis, and evaluation of control system performance.Leads the
root cause analysis for control system failures in products for
integration and fielded units during escalations.
Performs integration activities including troubleshooting the
control system, designing and executing test plans and test
automation, to ensure the algorithms functions as designed.
Documents work results with requirements, design specifications,
procedures, and training materials.
Mentors junior engineers.
Education and experience
Requires minimum of a PhD degree in Engineering or Physics or
Master's degree with 3 years of working experience. Specialization
in control systems strongly preferred.
Linear systems, feedback control, discrete-time control, signal
processing, filtering and estimation, system identification, and
non-linear systems postgraduate courses and experience will be
highly regarded.
Good Matlab skills and experience.
Experience designing practical discrete-time feedback control
systems of significant complexity.
Ability to design and analyze feedback control and estimation
systems using classical, modern or nonlinear techniques and
theories.
Ability to quickly process and analyze large data sets from
variable sources, including data translation, statistical analysis,
and effective reporting through written and/or graphical
formats.
Some background in data science is a plus.
Working knowledge of C/C++ desirable.
Understanding of embedded software systems desirable.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Has led a successfully completed project.
Ability to carry a product design from conception into
production.
Project Engineering experience including leading small technical
teams is a plus.
Ability to cross functional boundaries to build relationships with
all areas in the company, to understand and reconcile higher level
company and customer needs.
Ability to use MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and electronic e-mail
systems.
