Sr Software QA Engineer

Introduction

ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring 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, 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.

Job Mission

Actuators, motors, and sensors.  Real time operating systems.  Object oriented designs.  Distributed control systems.  Do you have experience with these technologies?   Do you have experience testing electro-mechanical control systems for cutting edge industrial products?  Would you like to work with some of the brightest scientists and engineers in the industry?  Are you a self-starter who would rather lead than be led?   If you answered yes to these questions, we would like to hear from you. 

The DUV software group at Cymer is looking for a talented software QA engineer with experience in, and passion for, these technologies.  As a Cymer SQA engineer, you would be involved in the full software lifecycle, from requirements definition through system level testing. 

You would work with Systems and Algorithms engineers to ensure good requirements are developed for the project you are working on.  Using those requirements, and working with the software engineers, you will formulate test strategies and detailed plans for verifying all requirements have been met by the software implementation.  Working in a lab on a laser, you will execute your test plans, analyze the resultant data, and report out on your test results.  Our project teams are small, so your visibility and impact will be high.

If you have a passion for technology and innovation you’ll want to check us out. Be a part of ASML. Be a part of progress.

One Company, One Goal, Limitless Innovation. It's our people that make the difference.
