Graduate Class of International System Install Engineers

Introduction

Do you like to travel internationally and work at the frontiers of technology? And do you want to work on hands-on challenges in a very demanding international environment? Join ASML and become part of group of young international System Install Engineers. In this role you build the machine from scratch as a very advanced LEGO sculpture at the customer site abroad, within specifications, on time, with quality exceeding the customers’ expectations.

Job Mission

ASML leads the worldwide development, production and sales of with our state-of-the-art lithography systems in the semiconductor industry. In short, we make the machines that make computer chips, or integrated circuits. We build some of the most amazing, complex machines that you will ever see – and the software to run them – to develop smaller, faster and still more affordable chips. It is because of our machines that the world’s technology has steadily evolved.

It’s one thing to design a product – it’s another to build and mass produce it. Our factories are located all over the world, with our main TWINSCAN DUV (deep ultraviolet) and EUV (extreme ultra violet) factories in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. Our Manufacturing and Planning (M&P) department assembles, builds and delivers all our systems from the prototype stage onwards. When the machine is finished in Veldhoven, they are shipped to the customer where the System Install team starts. In the role of System Install Engineer you support the installation of completed systems at customer sites.

Please be advised; when applying for this position we would appreciate your commitment to remain with the install department for at least 3 years.

Job Description

As a System Install Engineer you will be working at the frontiers of technology. What does this mean? Working with accelerations greater than a fighter jet and machines that image billions of sub-microscopic structures, every few seconds. Not only the development of the machine is very important when it comes to the machines of ASML, maybe just as important is getting it safe and well at the customers and making it work.

This graduate class of system install engineers will travel internationally for about 150 days per year. Within the System Install department there are different specializations that you could be hired for (please note that there is no job rotation):

The mechanical install engineers: this team is onsite with the customer when the de-assembled machine arrives. Within approximately 3 weeks the machine will be fully assembled. Having hands-on skills are highly preferred when it comes to these engineers. The machine will be moved in, unpacked, unlocked and all modules mechanically installed, like the cabling, water, gas and vacuum parts. The system will be switched on and checked if water, gas and electrical works properly. Also the team diagnoses faults and solves system failures.

The system install engineers: will begin the integration and qualification process. Their main focus is to calibrate and test the system, including the system acceptance test, fault diagnoses and solving system failures. This position requires a combination of analytical skills (computer testing) and hands-on skills (fixing the problem after being detected). When all tests prove the agreed performance, the install is done and the customer support team will take over for further maintenance of the machine at the customer.

Summarized: a System Install engineer could have the following tasks, depending on what type of engineer you become:
Mechanical installation, adjustment, commissioning of a complete machine;
Perform complex adjustments, perform upgrades, diagnose and solve problems with limited support;
Answer customer questions and assist customers in a professional manner;
Transfer knowledge to local install teams and first/ second line engineers;
Perform administrative duties including service orders, issue resolution tools, handovers, progress reporting, etc.;
Prepare written technical reports if required to do so;
Contribute in structural improvements for the System Install Engineering (SIE) department.

Know that you are an ambassador for ASML at all times (during and outside of work). The team lead will consequently travel towards the different customer sites where Installs take place.
When not working abroad, the engineer is expected to assist Factory operations with the assembly integration, qualification and prepack (=de-assembly + preparing for shipment) in Veldhoven fab.
