Job Description:
INTRODUCTIONASML 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.SUMMARYThe EUV Source team in
San Diego operates in a fast-paced, uniquely innovative, and
challenging environment to deliver new-to-industry products
supporting the commercialization of EUV technology by ASML. The
Plasma and Laser Physics engineer will be part of the EUV Source
Performance team within ASML San Diego. Due to high complexity of
the EUV light source, we, as Source Performance, are a dedicated
team with the mission to validate and ensure that EUV sources meet
or exceed customer performance requirements and expectations. In
order to execute this mission, EUV Source Performance acts as the
critical enabler of knowledge acquisition and transfer throughout
the product development process.This role will be supporting
analytics projects designed to enable the transfer of complex
physics based knowledge and product solutions to the rest of the
organization in an automated way. The goal of the project is to
accurately predict the optimum performance settings for individual
EUV sources, ensuring our customer service teams have all the
necessary information to quickly and effectively tune the
performance with minimal impact to availability. To be successful,
the candidate must combine strong technical skills, preferably
plasma and laser expertise, problem solving and numerical analysis
skills (using MATLAB, Python, Databricks, Julia, etc.), experience
developing physics based simulations, and knowledge of data science
techniques in a cloud environment.In addition, to be effective in
the role, candidates must possess interpersonal skills to cross
functional boundaries and to build constructive and effective
relationships across the organization and promote cross-functional
and cross-sector collaboration.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.Duties and ResponsibilitiesDevelop and continuously
improve models of the EUV source. These models will be both physics
based and leverage advanced data science/analytics
techniques.Define the requirements of the data pipelines supporting
those models. This will include the application of intelligent
context filters, the creation of new KPIs that are not directly
measured on the product, and data density requirements that balance
sufficient statistical accuracy while minimizing cloud costs.Design
scientific experiments to test the performance and accuracy of
models and to validate, maximize, document and communicate the
results.Work closely with and lead cross-functional groups (systems
engineering, development engineering, scientists, global customer
support personnel, manufacturing personnel, senior management,
marketing, external customers) to set clear technical
direction.Collect test data (on-tool and using executable automatic
codes) and analyze test data, to assess performance capabilities,
validate systems, operations and service, identify potential risks,
and make suggestions for system improvement.Produce clear, concise
technical documentation in defined company formats, present results
and align with cross-functional teams.Provide feedback to the
design engineers on performance, serviceability, and reliability
improvements.Prepare and/or review system and sub-system functional
test plans and create traceability from system functional
requirements.Work with global customer support organization in
response to escalations from customer sites, by providing technical
support; including remote and on-site troubleshooting and data
analysis, developing action plans, and performing system recovery
actions.Travel as required for the purposes of alignment, planning,
and/or support.Provide technical training to engineers utilizing
our models/platform. Complete service, expense reports, and other
administrative responsibilities in accordance with ASML's
procedures and with supervisor's approval.Responsible for safe
operation in factory and customer sites.Perform other duties as
assigned.Education and ExperienceMust possess 5 years of relevant
experience.Masters in Plasma Physics, Engineering Physics, Applied
Physics, or other related fields. PhD preferred.Knowledge and
experiences in optics, laser-induced plasma, optical metrology,
and/or controls of such devices preferred.Experiences in
semiconductor equipment development a plus.Skills &
CompetenciesUnderstanding of the concept of large complex system
integration and practices.Understanding of the concepts of optics
and lasers, plasma generation, and control systems.Excellent
analytical skills and troubleshooting skills.Excellent
inter-personal and customer service skills, with an advanced
understanding of customer relationship building.Excellent written
and verbal communication skills.Proficiency in use of data analysis
tools such as Matlab, Python, Julia, etc.Proficiency working in
cloud environments such as Databricks and AKS (Azure Kubernetes
Service)Ability to setup and use the test and analytical equipment
commonly used for the optics, laser and plasma research.Ability to
translate the design and test requirements into comprehensive test
plan documents and procedures.Ability to reduce large amounts of
data, create a concise summary, and effectively report results
through written and/or graphical formats.Other InformationThis
position is located on-site in San Diego and works on a hybrid
