Group Leader Reliability

If you enjoy leading a team of reliability engineers and architects in state-of-the-art technology, in a world-leading environment then the position of Group Leader of the EUV Optics Robust Design group is fit for you. This group is positioned in the Reliability Department at ASML (part of the Development & Engineering (DE) sector, Performance & Integration cluster). This job requires to have a clear vision and the leadership to inspire, convince and motivate others to deliver value meeting business needs.

The semiconductor industry represents the cutting edge of high technology. Simply to survive in this fast-moving environment, we must continually innovate and re-invent our products at very high frequencies. To be an industry leader in this environment you must move faster and more often than anyone else. That’s why at ASML we have established a culture of “green light thinking” and a “go, Go, GO” mentality. Everyone at ASML knows the importance of generating big ideas. And everyone knows the importance of getting those big ideas to market first. It’s an adrenalin-filled atmosphere. One that must also embrace the absolute importance of reliability. An area that is not familiar for all engineers yet, but that is changing rapidly since the customers expect this from ASML. Our products should meet the availability and reliability requirements & expectations of our customers at the right cost level.

That’s why as an ASML Group Lead you will not only need organizational skills to manage your team and high-level technical knowledge on Reliability during the entire product life-cycle but you also need the ability to network and communicate with other ASML stakeholders to keep the notion of reliability at the top of everyone’s mind. As Group Lead of a Robust Design team you need to act as people leader and a coach towards your team.  As business leader you drive topics like Design for Reliability, FMEA and Root Cause Analysis. Reliability is directly connected to business critical topics like Spare Parts Management and Parts Usage. Implementing Reliability in our product design is vital for long term success of ASML.
 

By leading the implementation of Reliability in ASML you will play a central role in continuing the commercial success of the world’s leading provider of lithography systems for semiconductors. It is a success that is founded on three business essentials: innovation, time-to-market, and system reliability, so your leading and technical skills will be vital. In addition to those leading skills you will deploy your communication skills and your persistence to continually influence others and maintain reliability as a key performance indicator for the whole of ASML. You will focus with your team on the in-depth technical knowledge of the modules and you will lead the reliability implementation. You won’t be doing this alone, but also with other sectors/DE-clusters within ASML such as other D&E clusters (Machine Conditioning, MechDEV, ElecDEV) , Systems Engineering, Production and Customer Support.
