In a nutshellLOCATIONSan Diego - CA, USTEAMResearch &
developmentWORK EXPERIENCE0-2 yearsJOB CATEGORYPhysics, Mechanical
engineering, Electrical engineeringTRAVEL10%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.Cymer is an
independently operated business within the ASML group that
develops, manufactures and services deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light
sources. The product portfolio includes excimer lasers using argon
fluoride (ArF) or krypton fluoride (KrF) gases to generate light in
the deep-ultraviolet spectrum. These lasers generate the light that
photolithography scanners use to image patterns on silicon wafers.
The research, development and manufacturing of DUV light sources is
centered in San Diego.The Discharge Chamber is one of the core
modules for DUV light sources, where the discharge plasma is
generated to provide DUV light (193nm or 248nm). The development
goals include extending chamber lifetime, improving energy
efficiency and stability, reducing cost, etc. Achieving these goals
requires extensive collaboration among plasma physics, material
science, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical
engineering, flow dynamics, and more. If you have a passion for
technology and innovation, please join us to develop this complex
and challenging DUV discharge plasma chamber!This position does NOT
require a green card and the company will sponsor a working visa
(H1-B, O1, etc.).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 responsibilitiesA Sr. Chamber Scientist is the
technical owner for the development of Cymer DUV laser discharge
chambers: responsible for designing, validating and reviewing new
