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.

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

The Senior Opto-Mechanical design Engineer shall assist with the mechanical and opto-mechanical design of next-generation opto-mechanical sub-systems for the creation and control of EUV radiation and supports the development & integration of innovative core technology elements and/or system concepts into engineering solutions. Requirement is to perform a variety of engineering tasks including designing, developing, testing, analyzing, troubleshooting and production implementation of subassemblies and modules. Works with the optical engineer to develop mechanical mounting solutions for optical designs, including interactive, iterative tolerancing schemes. Subsequent design activities may include supervision of stress and thermal analyses of mounted optics and tolerance distribution, plus assignment and completion of engineering change activities (including use of sub-contractor resources). Researches and works with supply chain engineering to select future key suppliers for consideration as turn-key providers of sub-systems. Develops robust and reliable resolutions to broad design and critical issues that impact design/manufacturing successes or to address future concepts, products, or technologies and roadmaps. May assist in the negotiation of major contracts involving large dollar amounts and monitors the cost, schedule, and performance aspects of key sub-contractors. Coordinates purchasing activities with engineering and manufacturing departments to source critical supply requirements and drive new product development.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Assumes opto-mechanical engineering responsibilities for component, module or subsystem design or specification from concept through final qualification
Coordinates with lead optical engineers and detail engineers in transfer to engineering prototypes
Performs detailed opto-mechanical module design including: BoM, drawings, tolerancing and procedures for new or improved subsystems
Hands-on opto-mechanical systems build and qualification, including assembly procedure development, alignment and process improvement activities
Leads or participates in preliminary and critical design reviews (PDR, CDR)
Drives release and engineering change (EC) process to document product life cycle
Coordinates purchasing activities with manufacturing, planning, and engineering departments to acquire inventory in a cost effective and timely manner
Interacts closely with development engineers, supply chain engineers, suppliers, and QA to resolve quality issues
Performs other duties as assigned or required
Education and experience
Bachelor s degree in mechanical, optical or opto-mechanical engineering and a minimum of six years of relevant experience, or a master s degree with a minimum of two years relevant industrial experience
Expert with 3D mechanical design software (NX preferred) and product lifecycle management (PLM) software (TeamCenter preferred)
Experience in the design and materials selection for high-precision, tight tolerance mechanical modules and/or kinematic mounted systems
Experience with the creation and release of engineering change (EC) orders
Familiar with design aspects for volume manufacture (DfX such as design for cost, assembly, service etc.)
Experience with sequential and non-sequential optical design and analysis software (such as: Zemax, FRED) an advantage
Familiar with working in gated project development cycle (PDP) an advantage
Requirement to report on project progress with strong written, presentation and verbal communication skills
Skilled in using a variety of computer applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, e-mail) required
