Industrialization Project Engineer

Introduction to the job

The Industrialization Project Engineer (also known as Upgrade & Sequence Integrator) works closely with the Industrialization Project Lead and Upgrade, Sequence, Availability, Diagnostics architects to create and deliver the Work Prep (Sequence, BOM-BOP and tooling) for Upgrades, Installs and Service Actions that are integrated, qualified and released to our internal and external EUV customers. Core responsibilities are to use the high-level upgrade/blueprint structure to create optimized sequences, taking into account dependencies, resourcing, tooling, materials, and other prerequisites, while minimizing system downtime and optimize cycle time and availability. The Upgrade & Sequence Integrator will strive to maximize synergy between Upgrades, Installs and Service by maintaining commonality of the sequences and other work prep deliverables. He/she will also lead the qualification of the Work Prep in internal (protos, factory) and external customers. Also the Upgrade Integrator provides field support through the execution of upgrades of EUV Sources.

Role and responsibilities

• Drives generation, qualification and release of upgrades, install and service Work Prep

• Develops Work Preparation in the form of detailed process flow (sequence), and Tooling & Parts requirements for Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) new product introduction

• Uses highly detailed and specialized tools and databases to develop and release the final executable process for End Users

• Uses a defined matrix (also known as 6x) to assess and report on the readiness of work preparation for Upgrades, Install and Service of EUV Machines (Categories: Specifications, Tools, Procedures, Site Readiness , Skills/Knowledge, Parts)

• Interacts with cross-functional groups (Project leads, Main Delivery Owners (MDOs), System Engineering, Manufacturing and Equipment Engineers, Upgrade, Sequence, Availability, Diagnostics architects, worldwide customer support personnel, manufacturing personnel, program, upper management, marketing), crosses functional boundaries and builds constructive and effective relationships throughout the whole organization

• Provides feedback for improvement of processes and WoW (Way of Working; i.e. best business practices) used by the System Industrialization Management and Verification team

• Proactively aligns and solicits technical input from multiple Functional Clusters as needed to build concise, optimized and safe Work Preparation of new sequences.  Creates sequences in the agreed upon and uniform format

• Drives for efficient verification of sequences by leading generation and execution of an internal ASML qualification test

• Reports all issues found, and prioritizes them based on impact to availability and cycle time and contributes to issue business case definition by providing all relevant information

• Ensures issue follow-up is done in alignment with the upgrade, sequence and availability architects and functions

• Supports Customer Support (CS) and Factory with the creation and on-site support of Upgrade, Install and Service Work Prep

• Helps to close the feedback loop for service related actions- from specification (SDS) through design (sequence) to result (execution) and back

• Produces clear, concise documentation in defined ASML formats

• Works according to set safety standards in and outside of the cleanroom

• Assists in collecting data, performing data analysis, summarizing results, and preparing presentation of results for review

• Travels to ASML headquarters in Veldhoven, Netherlands for cross-ocean team alignment and support as well as customer sites for Factory installs and upgrades (5-10%)

• Completes timesheets, expense reports, and other administrative responsibilities in accordance with ASML’s procedures and with supervisor’s approval
