EUV Staff Systems Scientist Job Description

IntroductionASML 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.”Job MissionWe are presenting you with 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. 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.Job DescriptionResponsibilities Guide development of high-level architecture as well as specific techniques for metrology, actuation, stabilization (both passive and active), and control in order to improve the EUV generation process Identification of key scientific learning objectives and corresponding experimental design which will further the technological progress of the EUV generation process Provide metrology, actuation, and stabilization design guidelines, performance requirements and procedures to product teams Demonstration of system-wide performance targets to meet the future technology roadmap Plan, develop and execute system and subsystem performance tests, analyze test results and extract actionable knowledge from sub-module to full-system levels Troubleshoot issues with laser, tin delivery, and optical systems in order to improve the EUV generation process Document learning and communicate knowledge to engineering and product development teams to guide product improvement and release of new product nodes Work independently and in teams to deliver on a stated objective, whether it be the pursuit of new knowledge, the demonstration of a new capability, or the characterization of existing performance Education PhD or MS degree with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience in physics, plasma engineering, photonics or equivalent field Experience Deep 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, and troubleshooting Extensive experience with experimental data analysis and development of data analysis tools with, for instance, Matlab or Python and data acquisition systems such as NI Labview Ability to clearly and logically communicate ideas and knowledge to various audiences Practical experience with breadth of metrology techniques and system design, including laser produced plasma systems High-precision optical metrology development, including associated high-speed data acquisition and integration with control system functionality 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  Other informationPHYSICAL DEMANDS AND WORK ENVIRONMENTThe physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job.
