Electrical Engineer

External Job Description

Introduction to the job

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.

The Electrical Competence Manager is the functional owner of, and responsible for ALL building electrical assets, planning and documentation (US/EURO). This includes system specifications, performance and maintenance requirements for critical electrical assets (High Voltage, Low Voltage, Switchgear, Mains, Distribution, Panels, and other critical infrastructure) associated with the ASML Wilton facilities and manufacturing systems.
