Metadata Management Expert

Introduction to the job

Do you have a passion for data? Do you have a drive for customer satisfaction? Are you eager to learn and further develop yourself in a company that is continuously developing the most advanced machines in the world? Then you may be the person we are looking for!

Vast amounts of data are generated by ASML equipment that is used by our customers in their semiconductor factories. This data is used (by both ASML as well as our customers) for many different use cases, e.g. to diagnose problems with the equipment, to do equipment performance monitoring, to support the maintenance process and to improve equipment performance by creating control loops. Next to that it is also used as input for the development of our next generation of machines.
This data is based on industry standards but also on ASML specific definitions.

All this data and its corresponding metadata represents a lot of value. Therefore it is crucial that this value is properly protected (i.e. protect ASML and our customer’s Intellectual Property) and that it is made available in a way that maximizes value for both ASML as well as our customers.

The ASML data policy has been defined to provide guidance on what (meta)data we share with customers in what situation. It is essential that (meta)data is made available in line with this guidance and in such a way that both customers as well as ASML can maximize vale generation from it.
