Principal Laser System Scientist

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.

Job Mission

We are presenting you with a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative Source Research team, focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies required for next generations of high-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. Based on a laser produced plasma (LPP), our light source relies on a wide range of unique and challenging technologies, ranging from laser light amplification and high-power optical systems to laser produced plasma for EUV generation, electro-optical signal detection and algorithm-based actuation for process control. You are invited to bring your passion, knowledge and expertise in areas of applied physics, plasmas, metrology, optics, controls, lasers, and experiment design to push the boundaries of these technologies forward.

Duties and responsibilities :

Identifies gaps in source solutions and technology roadmaps and proposes extensions / re-orientations of these roadmaps. Demonstrates technology solutions through feasibility studies and proof of concepts to extend ASML's roadmaps. Supports the development of technology solutions where applicable in the lab. Shapes (directs the course of) and oversees (supervises, watches over and directs) several new technology competences, creates inventions, transfers results to development operation after building proof of concept.

Creates the long-term vision and business / value proposition of multiple research topics and steers the strategic activities related to that vision within and outside of Research. Ensures coherence and alignment across research projects / programs in responsible topic area.

Research scope

Owns and drives complex technical topics on different organization levels and across different systems (or comparable complexity). Gives direction to the (technical) organization on complex technology topics. Optimizes the application of the existing body of knowledge to address new challenges / create novel solutions that provide competitive advantage.

Drives patent portfolio and technology roadmaps and is widely recognized for competence expertise.

Supports the shaping of the strategic academic network related to competence development.

Technical leadership

Technically shapes and drives multiple multidisciplinary projects, work packages or technical competences on the module level, mono-discipline level, system level or comparable level of complexity. Creates technical budgets and definitions

Innovation

Works with the External Partnerships Program to interact with academia to shape their research programs supporting the ASML Technology roadmap. Shapes innovative interdisciplinary technology by defining critical problems and proposing solution paths in and outside of ASML or makes existing technology usable for other products and / or markets.

Represents ASML in (inter)national congresses and relevant networks with external technology partners, customers and / or suppliers. Actively expands and uses these networks to contribute to an optimal representation of ASML in these networks.

Manages technical uncertainties at system level or comparable level of complexity. Most technical components are not known (internally and externally) and / or have a high level of uncertainty and business impact (shaping future technology).

Problem solving

Defines multiple (out of the box) solutions by integrating concepts and approaches from different research fields. There are very few boundaries, mainly desired results. Solves fundamental problems with specialized (scientific) knowledge.

Develops and applies new methodologies / practices that might be considered "leading edge" in their field - i.e. where their track record is not yet established and professional standards have not yet caught up. Makes important contributions to ASML (problems) consistently. Typically one of only very few experts in their fields.

Team

Operates in a variety of roles within projects as needed by the project, including any shifts as needed by the project. Is aligned with ASML core values of Care, Collaborate and Challenge and demonstrates them at a high level at all times. Within the team, is always considered a good team member and trusted to help. Is seen as the sparring partner on technical content and application of research topics for senior stakeholders across ASML. Shapes external research programs and suppliers and / or autonomously interacts with customers.

Education and experience

Master or PhD degree with 10 years of relevant experience in laser physics, optics, photonics, electrical engineering or equivalent field.

Distinguished professional - is recognized as technical domain expert whose judgement is trusted broadly on technical and managerial levels in ASML and in the scientific world outside.

Formulates vision on future developments and applies / stretches the full body of existing and emerging knowledge in a complex domain.

Experienced multiple process cycles from idea generation to D&E transfer.
