Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Imaging)

Introduction to the job

Do you enjoy designing, building and testing mechanical systems? Do you want to expand your professional skill set into other disciplines? And do you enjoy interacting with many different people, enthusing them with ideas and motivating them to contribute? If so, this could be the ideal career step for you.

Role and responsibilities

Your mission will be to make a positive impact on the entire company – because you will be working at the heart of the ASML machine, right in the light path. That’s one of the many reasons this position offers direct challenge and virtually real-time feedback job satisfaction.

Take ownership and manage designs in the field of highly accurate and stable opto-mechanical modules in collaboration with a small team of experts in a multi-disciplinary project setting.

You will be expected to use not only your hard-skill technical expertise to engineer on a practical scale, but also your soft-skill people techniques to enthuse and motivate others.

Additionally, because ASML projects are always multidisciplinary, you will also be expected to develop new technical skills beyond your own area of expertise, so this position offers plenty of 360º professional growth. Which means that in addition to the challenges of mechanical engineering - designing, building and prototype testing – you will also consider other factors such as electronics, environmental control and infrastructural requirements for example.

You will take the lead in the development and sustaining of products by specification, concept study, volume control, interface definition, design, mechanical calculations (FEM), drawings, qualification, integration and test execution of mechanical components or subsystems. In particular you will:

• Take responsibility for the mechanical design of opto-mechanical systems in strong collaboration with other teams in a multidisciplinary environment with physics and EDEV teams, and with many interfaces to other projects within the scanner, machine layout, system quality, tooling, etc.
• Setup of planning and prioritization within the project scope
• Contribute to the specification, concept development and qualification of designs
• Responsible for the full portfolio of technical product documentation
• Able to manage and coach a small team
• Specify and design the (sub-)modules and/or tooling to realize the required performance
• To achieve this you will use state of the art design methods and construction principles to ensure adequate designs that can be realized from a technical and supply chain perspective
• Store the BOM in our database according engineering change process procedures, and align the change with the different stake holders
• Drive the qualification of the design by specifying the tests, designing and realizing the test equipment
• Define and ensure that required prototypes are planned, built and tested
• Deliver the technical product documentation that is needed to release the design for volume production
• Cooperate with the factory to identify and drive improvements on integration

Education and experience

Bachelor or Master degree in Mechanical Engineering, or similar

• Experience in a design role in a complex technical environment and knowledge of the V-model;
• Well educated in the application of construction principles and accurate position principles
• Ability to design concepts and a pragmatic attitude and capability to translate concepts into practical designs that meet the specified requirements
• Experience with 3D CAD modeling tools is required, preferably Siemens NX, and Teamcenter
• Mechanical tolerance calculations (statistical analysis experience is a plus)
• Thorough knowledge of the ASML D&E Way-of-Working is a plus

Skills

Working 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. There is always space for creative and unique points of view. You’ll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems.
To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following skills:

• Strong technical foundation with a pragmatic attitude
• Able to manage complexity, takes initiative
• Responsible and accountable for decisions and deliverables
• Creative thinking capability
• Critical on results
• Team player
• Good knowledge of the English language
• Good communication skills, easily communicates with other disciplines
• Sharp and assertive. Easily challenges colleagues
• Strong quality drive
