Senior Mechatronics Engineer

Introduction to the job

ASML 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.

The Mechatronics Engineer position is set to play an important role in the wafer flow of our SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) systems, including wafer clamping and wafer positioning in vacuum as well as active vibration isolation and overall system dynamics. In addition, overall system behavior must be characterized in order to optimize overall performance and better understand the multi-physics interactions that affect these extremely sensitive systems.

This position may require 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 the Company to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.

Role and responsibilities

• Operate in an extremely requirements driven environment where specifications need to be well established, design details and tradeoffs need to be accurately captured and objective testing needs to confirm adherence.
• Firm understanding of motion control systems, closed loop feedback operation, servo loop tuning, actuation systems and feedback devices.
• A fundamental understanding of multi-physics systems including kinematics, statics, dynamics, vibration, electro-magnetics and thermodynamics in various pressure environments.
• Ability to device experiments using various sensing modalities, performing data processing and analysis and constructing conclusive data analysis and presentation.
• Collaborate within the team, as well as with external teams in a matrix style engineering organization.
• Performing hands-on testing in non-clean room and clean room labs on either complete systems or sub-systems and sub-modules.
• Working with external and internal suppliers of the components and modules that make up wafer flow.
• Manage the overall hardware structure (BOM) of the modules that provide wafer flow.
