ASML Hiring for Technical Project Manager Full Time

Introduction to the job

ASML US, LP 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 Wilton, CT, Chandler, AZ, San Jose, CA and San Diego, CA.

“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 applicants who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.”

Role and responsibilities

We have a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative Technology Development team, focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies required for next generations of high-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. Based on a laser produced plasma (LPP), our light source relies on a wide range of unique and challenging technologies, ranging from laser light amplification and high-power optical systems to laser produced plasma for EUV generation, electro-optical signal detection and algorithm-based actuation for process control.

The Laser Research Group, within the Technology Development Team, leads the development of new laser and optical technologies for the EUV source. The laser is the heart of the EUV source, so the impact of the team is one of the largest for the company. The team is responsible for pathfinding new laser architectures, developing new optical systems and working with other teams to validate innovative ideas. The laser systems used for the EUV source is the one of highest power (>25kW) lasers used in an industrial product, while also being positioned to sub-micron level. You are invited to bring your passion, knowledge, and expertise in areas of applied physics, plasmas, metrology, optics, controls, lasers, and experiment design to push the boundaries of these technologies forward.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Responsible for leadership of EUV research projects within the S-Next research program for the drive laser sub-system.
• Will be required to lead teams with members from the research group, the product development team, and key suppliers.
• Generation and maintenance of the project plan, detailing all activities to be conducted within the assigned EUV research projects, including paper studies, design reviews, system build up and support on system execution.
• Ensures proper documentation is completed for each activity within the project, and that adequate documentation exists for the product program and D&E (feasibility results, test procedures, drawings, BOMs).
• Outward ing towards senior management of the progress and forward-looking roadmap of the assigned research projects.
• Ensure the successful demonstration of laser performance targets to meet the future technology roadmap, as conducted by the project members.
• Enable technical project team to successfully identify key scientific learning objectives and corresponding experimental design which will further the technological progress of the EUV source.
• Proactively communicates issues and manages the solution paths. Assesses and highlights risks and develops mitigation plans.
• Supports the Program Manager (provides information, fill-in during absence, etc.) as required.
• Ensure completion and delivery of documents of the project team members and facilitate the communication of knowledge to engineering and product development teams.
• Management of the triple constraint: timing, budget, and resourcing.
• Ability to work in any shift based on project needs.
• Perform other duties as assigned or required.

Education and experience

• Possess strong skills acquired through advanced training, study, and experience.
• BS or MS degree with 8+ years of relevant experience in physics, plasma engineering, lasers, photonics or equivalent technical field.
• Experience with project life cycle and clear understanding of Project Management fundamentals.
• Understanding of scientific research methods and strong curiosity.
• The successful candidate will not only have excelled in their technical field but will have demonstrated inter-personal and communications strengths.
• Hands-on experience with complex system design and build, characterization, troubleshooting.
• Ability to clearly and logically communicate ideas and knowledge to various audiences.

Preferred Skills and Experience Qualifications:

• Technical background with lasers and optical system.
• Successful demonstration of project management and leadership over the full life-cycle of a project, with corresponding successful completion and delivery of project objectives.
• Demonstrated ability to manage and lead a research project involving multiple stakeholders and constraints.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively as a part of a team and lead investigation and research efforts.

Skills

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you’ll always have new challenges and new problems to solve – and working together is the only way to do that. You won’t work in a silo. Instead, you’ll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you’ll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view. You’ll have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems.
