Job Description:

Introduction to the jobASML US, LP 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 Wilton, CT, Chandler, AZ, San Jose, CA and San Diego, CA.Development and Engineering (D&E) sector is responsible for the specification, design and integration of the ASML machines. In this sector, the Mechanical Development department (MDEV), specifies designs and does the functional integration of the various (sub-) modules and architectures related to the tin mitigation hardware, tin handling, vacuum vessel, frames, flow and thermal domains. D&E sector consist of discipline- and function-oriented groups where emphasis lies on particular knowledge/skills, architecture or modules in ASML machines. The EUV lithography light source machine at ASML starts with understanding the functional requirements, deriving specifications, and overseeing design quality. The Mechanical Architect plays an integral role in defining, documenting, and enforcing that functional requirements are driven into the design in a practical, safe, manufacturable, serviceable, and cost effect manner.Role and responsibilitiesWe are looking for an engineer with a Mechanical hardware and systems background to act in the role of Mechanical Architect for part of the EUV light source. In this role you will be responsible for defining mechanical requirements (structural, flow, thermal, etc..), cross functional interfaces, configuration strategy, and validation criteria for various EUV source modules. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a broad technical background, excellent communication skills, and ability to influence others. You will collaborate with other architects and design engineers in a multidiscipline project team to develop concepts, perform engineering analysis, support the build and test of prototypes, give direction in the generation of detail CAD designs and engineering drawings, and partner with suppliers and product integration to test towards successful product launch.Develops the roadmap, requirements, specifications, architecture, and technology development needs for the Mechanical Architecture of EUV Source modules, which is required to improve HW lifetime, MTTR/MTBF and overall system availability.Identifies concepts that can address performance gaps; assesses technology maturity and defines the development and engineering work breakdown for execution by cross-functional teams of seasoned scientists and engineers.Leads architecture and prototyping definition; works with cross-functional teams of mechanical engineers, materials scientists, optical, electrical and software engineers to develop solutions to roadmap.Develops and maintains the specification document tree; writes and/or reviews key specification and design documentation, coordinates key reviews with Systems Engineering and Project Stakeholders to ensure functional specifications are aligned to system requirements.Identifies and engages third parties for development of technology solutions; Creates Statements of Work (SOWs) to define phased deliverables for budgeting and project management.Defines Test Protocols; analyzes test data; makes recommendations based on test results for design changes and operational changes to deliver improved performance of sub-modules.Assesses technology and project risks and defines risk mitigation strategies and approaches with the project leadership team.Mentors, coaches and oversees the activity of junior engineersPerforms other duties as assigned or required.Education and experienceBS or MS. in Engineering, Physics or related technical discipline, 3+ years of experience in a technical leadership role.Previous role(s) in Technology, Process and/or Engineering Design of Semiconductor processing equipment a strong plus.Excellent written and verbal communication skills.Ability to translate, statistically analyze data, and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.Excellent customer service skills, with an advanced understanding of customer relationship building.Ability to use MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and electronic e-mail systems.Has led a successfully completed project.Ability to carry a product design from conception into production.Project Engineering experience including leading small technical teams.Ability to cross functional boundaries to build relationships with all areas in the company, to understand and reconcile higher level company and customer needs.Strong fundamental background in mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.Interpretation and application of CFD results to guide hardware and process optimization.Familiar with heat transfer analysis and methodologies.Experience with materials in extreme environments and interactions with liquid metals desired.Experience with thermal and gas flow elements of process chamber design.SkillsWorking at the cutting edge of tech, you'll always have new challenges and new problems to solve - and working together is the only way to do that. You won't work in a silo. Instead, you'll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you'll collaborate with supportive colleagues.
