(Senior) On Product Performance Patterning Engineer for technology innovation

Introduction

If you are the one who takes ownership of a problem and turn its solution into an opportunity for both ASML and our customers, and if you can create a vision that also inspires others - THEN,  the ASML Patterning Technology group is your ideal environment for personal development and professional growth!

Job Mission

As a Sr. Design Engineer you take ownership of a technical problem and turn its solution into an opportunity for both ASML and our customers. You will work in a multidisciplinary team with different competences and various professional and cultural backgrounds to realize products for customer use across the various lithography aspects.

ASML offers products that optimize lithography performance which are developed and integrated within D&E projects. One of the main key performance indicators (KPI) of lithography is the accuracy to which the intended structures are transferred to the final pattern. The main competency of the OPP Patterning Technology group is the holistic approach to control scenarios that combine knowledge of customer patterning schemes, imaging and ASML product solutions, linking customer patterning metrics to ASML product performance and in the end contributing to customer’s yield and profitability.

You will make use of the extensive Patterning domain knowledge to directly contribute to the long-term technology roadmap. By designing experiments in-house and working directly with our customers you develop a fundamental understanding of the contributors that drive on-product performance in the customer environment. You obtain new insights for scanner performance beyond the conventional KPIs as interdependencies with the customer fab ecosystem. Domain knowledge of customer on-product performance, control and scanner knobs are the key elements to drive your work towards relevant conclusions, innovations, advice and product development ideas

Role and responsibilities

Can you here in short describe the context of the role. As described in the job mission here above for example.

• Define and deliver feasibility studies via experiments and in-depth analysis in close collaboration with our partners (eg. customers, Application Engineering, IMEC, HMI, Brion).

• Driving the technical direction of your study in alignment with your stakeholders.

• Interact with customers and research partners by combining scanner, metrology, process and control expertise within ode transition projects (NTP).

• Make use of Toolbox (Julia, Python, Matlab) to process metrology data and in-depth analysis.

• Together with members from other knowledge domains you consolidate and develop control (model, algorithms) functionalities with scanner knobs (overlay, dose, focus, etc,)

• Document and communicate your findings to your stakeholders and technical community.

• Knowledge transfer of your findings, as well as means and methods to your peers, and contribution to the buildup of technical competence of your department.

• Contribute to SF/FC/TC roadmap and drive study items

Education

Technical University - PhD or MSc in Semiconductor Processing, Physics, Mathematics, Computer or Data Science, or similar.

Experience

• How many years of work experience do you need? I selected 4-9 years in the workday info

• Hands-on experience with on-product patterning, imaging or scanner data analysis

• Strong technical background and willingness to extend that background across competences.

• Solid programming, data-analysis and visualization skills. Experience with Julia is considered a plus. 

• Customer way of working, include state of the art semiconductor process and device knowledge

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 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. To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following skills:

• Self-propelling, proactive, creative, analytical and (self) critical.

• Connect easily with other experts in the field and especially in the team

• Have the ability to build and extend your network in the organization

• Excellent communication skills

• Being able to find joy in the data analysis itself and being creative to connect the technical findings into future product ideas.
