Internship - Mechanical Engineering Research

Introduction to the job

ASML US 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 Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

Role and responsibilities

Takes the lead to specify, design, develop, realize, integrate, and test (sub-)modules / tools, in cooperation with other disciplines and suppliers, within the limits of system specifications, costs, and project planning, to ensure the timely realization of (sub-)modules as part of competitive, achievable, and serviceable products.

• Takes the lead in development of more complex parts of modules AND/OR drives and owns a technically complex solution.

• Leads technically complex (mono-disciplinary) designs OR a functional design, owning and delivering solutions with full technical ownership.

• Works across multiple teams and collaborates with other trains.

• Can take lead in interfaces with suppliers, customers, other projects and other engineering disciplines in a less-defined environment (e.g. new supplier, NPI product).

• Participates in cross-sector teams to realize solutions.

• Aligns on / thinks of solutions with counter parts from multiple adjacent groups. Collaborates with engineers and scientists in other areas.

• Understands how own designs fits in at subsystem level. Performs critical design engineering tasks, in cooperation with other disciplines and suppliers, maintains cross project view, specifies, designs, develops, tests, and assists in project planning and management as well as competency development. Introduces and drives new approaches on technical level within submodule. Provides work breakdown support to architects/PLs/POs for features/work packages and performance breakdown in own (sub-)module scope. Balances between quality and timely delivery.

• Self-propelling within own area of expertise, subject to high-level managerial direction.

Research

Achieve specific goals for a designated part of a research program. Involves working within established research systems.

Design Requirements and specifications

Plan and coordinate the identification, elicitation of of product and/or project requirements, conduct analysis of those requirements for completion and alignment, document and manage requirements throughout the life of the project and coordinate the verification of the end deliverable. Generally done at the project level.

Feasibility

Conduct feasibility studies from a technological and organizational perspective and document findings to complete cost-benefit analysis on implementing changes to business processes, products, or business unit structure. Identify feasibility questions and improvements in own domain.

Conceptualization

Contribute to the design of engineering solutions; design the feasibility testing approach and supervise its implementation to support the development and validation of engineering solutions.

Preliminary design

Develop technical concepts including material choices. Make technical choices in all phases, solve technical issues, devise new approaches to problems encountered. Prepare high level design of the (sub-) module fulfilling the requirements set while addressing architectural and interface choices. Document the high level design in the relevant SEG documents.

Detailed design

Contribute to the design of engineering solutions; design the feasibility testing approach and supervise its implementation to support the development and validation of engineering solutions.

Detail out the design including its documentation.

Integration

Integrate sub-systems into the system, execute configuration management, and provide support to projects

Product quality / Testing

Contribute to the specification of Qualification-, Integration-, and Production- Tests, design and produce associated test tools, realize the qualification of the design by ensuring the proto production, execute tests and report results.

Develop product specifications and design test procedures and standards. Validate new or existing complex test methods and procedures; identify issues and recommend improvement
