Introduction to the job

Within ASML the sector Development & Engineering is responsible for the specification and the design of the ASML products. The department Mechatronics Systems Development (MSD) is responsible for specification, design, integration and qualification of the mechatronics sub-systems, functions, and components which are fitted into the end products. The main focus is on nanometer-accuracy positioning of high speed components. Control engineering, dynamics, actuator design, position measurement systems, and material handling are part of this.

This position requires 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 ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.

Role and responsibilities

You will contribute to the design of the mechatronics architecture or function of a module. Together with the mechanical, electrical, and software departments mechatronic modules are being developed and improved. During these developments performance requirements have to be balanced with costs, manufacturability and serviceability. Your job embodies specification, design, technical budget analysis, critical component selection, integration, test planning, test execution, and trouble shooting.

You will be working in multidisciplinary project teams, aimed at realizing the actuation function in ASML’s systems. Your tasks will be:

• Defining the actuator architecture for new modules;
• Defining the roadmap for actuator architecture of modules and defining solutions for existing modules;
• Guiding and leading a team of design engineers;
• Modeling and simulation of actuators, and/or actuator systems, delivering multiple degrees of freedom;
• Modeling effects of electromagnetic crosstalk;
• Specifying solutions towards mono-disciplinary departments;
• Building up and maintaining specialist knowledge on actuation and basic knowledge in the fields of servo control, signal analysis, testing, software, mechanics, optics, electronics, sensors and dynamics;

Education and experience

• Technical University Masters or PhD in Mechatronics/Mechanical engineering/Electrical engineering/Technical Physics;
• Theoretical and/or practical experience with electromagnetic actuator design;
• Experience with finite-element analysis tools, preferably in the field of electromagnetics;
• Affinity with control engineering, power electronics, and mechanical development of high precision products;
• Affinity with manufacturing processes (coil winding, magnet assembly, laser welding);
• Skilled in Matlab.

Skills

• Team player;
• Strong analytical ability with a pragmatic attitude;
• Ability to balance the needs of stakeholders regarding conflicting system performance specifications;
• Good communicational skills and good knowledge of English.
