Optical Sensing Engineer

Sub-nanometer positioning of the wafer stage and the reticle stage in our ASML machines is enabled by stage position sensors. We are looking for a designer who can contribute to the realization of these sensors.

The Stage Position Measurement (SPM) department within the sector of Development & Engineering (D&E) is responsible for interferometer and encoder based position measurement systems for wafer stages and reticle stages.

For newly developed systems we are responsible for the specification, design, integration and qualification of our position measurement systems. These developments are done in close cooperation with measurement system suppliers outside of ASML. 

We're searching for an engineer to strengthen the designer team. You will be involved in all phases of our product design: from feasibility, development and integration to supporting our installed base. You will improve the accuracy, throughput and reliability of our interferometer and encoder based optical position measurement systems by:

• Improving the interferometer and encoder designs together with our suppliers.
• Improving complex algorithms in our drivers and calibrations together with our software teams. 
• Improving our electronics and mechanical designs together with dedicated electronics and mechanics development teams.
• You like to investigate complex issues related to our measurement systems and work together with other ASML teams to define containments and structural solutions. 

You will be working in a young, enthusiastic team with a nice atmosphere, where we also pay attention to non-work related activities.  

• A Masters in Physics or Mechanical Engineering.
• Experience with optical sensor development or more specifically interferometers.
• Strong mathematics skills.
• Experience with Matlab for data analysis and simulation.

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 to 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:

• You are a team player and enjoy collaborating with others often.
• Pragmatic with result oriented attitude.
• You take initiative and are flexible in your approach.
• Good communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent command of English language.
• You can adapt quickly to changing scope and/or circumstances
