GSC EUV Metro Engineer

Introduction to the job

ASML US 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 Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

Do you like reverse engineering things in order to understand how something is designed? Does higher the level of complexity of a design entice you to reverse engineer it that much more? If you’re ready to jump from the designing side of things over to the side of gaining understanding of how an existing assembly or system is designed, GSC (Global Support Center) at ASML should be your next stop in your career path.

ASML designs one of the most complex machines in the world involving electronics, mechatronics, stage controls, system environment control and system specific application software with sensors being in the middle of it all. As a GSC engineer, you will troubleshoot to understand what could be causing a stage that moves at 4G or greater to be mispositioned by a few microns or whether it’s the EUV light, imaging optics, micron size particles that is preventing single nanometer features to be misshapen or mispositioned on a microchip die. All of this is also diagnosed with an understanding of how systems behave contained in a vacuum.

We are looking for talented individuals to help ASML resolve a range of issues which are encountered on customer machines all over the world and help our customers achieve high volume manufacturing. GSC needs engineers with sound understanding of concepts of electrical, mechanical, fluid, servo and/or software engineering just to name a few disciplines. You will work in a dynamic environment where clear communication with external departments is essential. You will expand your network into a diverse mix of nationalities and cultures. You will be part of a cohesive greater team where clear messaging towards the customer is essential. If all of this excites you, you should pursue a position in our team.

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.

Role and responsibilities

The ASML CS (Customer Support) organization is responsible for the installation, qualification, repair and maintenance of the ASML systems at our customers' sites and is responsible for the necessary transfer of know-how to the customer. Downtime of these systems is very expensive for our customers. To minimize those costs, the CS organization is responsible to repair the systems as soon as possible. For this reason ASML ensures 24/7 support provided by teams located worldwide. Each of the incidents seen at customer site are analyzed and documented to prevent similar incidents in the future. Local CS branches (Field Support) perform these tasks at the customers within their specific region.

GSC is responsible for providing technical support to the local CS branches in order to maximize ASML tool performance. The holder of this position reports to the Group Leader Global Support Center North America.

A role as GSC engineer in the ASML CS organization consists of a diversity of tasks and responsibilities. These tasks and responsibilities are varying with the phase of system maturity which makes the job challenging.

NPI (New Product Introduction) preparation:

• During the NPI phase you are assigned to the project in order to gain the required skills and knowledge to independently support field escalations. You will travel onsite during introduction phase support by delivering knowledge/escalation handling to the local organization.

Technical problem solving within competency:

• Solving complex technical problems by remote analyzing data and creating deterministic forward looking action plans is key for a GSC engineer. It is important to have good alignment on expectations with the local team and your other GSC colleagues worldwide within this problem solving process. On-site support is often required to solve the problem at the customer.

Another important task of a GSC engineer is to manage the (technical) escalation, secure that the right data is available and provide routine updates to management and stakeholders. Next to solving a technical problem a GSC engineer is responsible to start the process to prevent the issue of happening again in future.
