Senior Mechatronics Engineer

Senior Mechatronics Engineer, Reticle Stage

Introduction to the Job

ASML is seeking a Sr. Mechatronics / Controls Design Engineer to join the Wilton, CT development location as we break new ground in the emerging field of photolithography. As ASML pushes the boundaries of nano-technology beyond current state of the art, we have a need to develop high precision equipment while maintaining a focus on cost effectiveness and reliability. We are looking for someone to help pioneer knowledge in this developing area.

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.

You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Design and develop custom mechatronics systems with a cross sector team, including translating stages, linear motors, sensors, servos, actuators, dynamics, controls, etc.
• Troubleshoot designs to determine potential risks, failure modes, and corrective actions.
• Responsible for “sustaining engineering” tasks, resolving equipment design issues in a timely fashion as they arise at customer sites.
• Participate in concept designs and experiments for future equipment and subsystems.
• Run complex mechatronic systems for test and qualification of design changes.
• Design quality products using six sigma and lean process techniques for robust designs.
• Create documentation for product designs and operations to be used in a clean manufacturing environment
• Work with external suppliers to define and develop certain aspects of new product design while collaborating with internal cross discipline teams.
• Take direction from ASML System Architects and more Senior Engineer mentors who are leading the development effort of critical large capital equipment.
• Guide and mentor junior engineers

Education and Experience

• MS degree or equivalent combination of education and/or experience
• 5 years of relevant work experience

Skills

• Mechatronics engineering background or specialization in closely related areas such as robotics or other fields.

• Demonstrated ability to own and drive complex engineering issues or designs from problem definition and requirements gathering, through implementation.
• Experience with PID controllers, linear and nonlinear calibrations, flexible dynamics.
• Experience with magnetic linear actuators and magnetic levitation systems a plus.
• Basic experience with mechatronics behavior predictive modeling and methods in MATLAB / SIMULINK or similar tools, including “first principle” engineering equations and other techniques, particularly applied to control system simulation and implementation.
• Ability to apply “classical control theory” and “digital control theory” including frequency domain, stability (Nyquist / Bode plots), Velocity-Acceleration-Jerk (VAJ), feedback / feedforward, dynamics, gain and phase, transfer functions, continuous / discrete feedback control, real time controls, etc.
• Ability to derive conclusions from analyses and make practical recommendations.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills in English, including presenting results based on strong statistical evidence to audiences of a wide range of technical abilities
• Exposure to multi-disciplinary projects, such as imaging / optical systems, semiconductor, or lithography preferred but not required.
