Software in San Jose

Right now, the most advanced microchips can be made up of more than 100 layers and around 55 billion transistors. ASML lithography systems pattern these transistors onto silicon wafers, but it's software applications that make sure these patterns are accurate.



As an ASML software engineer, you will help to predict and control these microchip patterns to an accuracy of a few atoms. You and your team will make this happen as fast as possible, using the most advanced optimization algorithms in combination with the most advanced AI techniques and high-performance computing centers.
