About The Position

The Manufacturing Engineer role at ASML designs, develops, implements and sustains methods, operation sequence and processes in the manufacture, fabrication, testing and troubleshooting of critical consumable component. This role is responsible for factory metrics such as yield, cycle time, and capacity. Designs process and manufacturing tooling solutions to influence factory metrics. Designs and executes test plans to qualify changes in manufacturing process. Interfaces with design engineering in coordinating the release of new products. Maintains records and reporting systems for coordination of manufacturing operations. Additionally, this role may review proposals of outside vendors regarding the purchase of new or modernization of existing production/processing equipment. As well as works in a cross functional team to deliver industrialized production process. Designing, developing, and installing custom LabVIEW based applications & systems incorporating a wide variety of technologies (DAQ, machine vision, motion & real-time control, etc.) to support customized manufacturing tooling. The job will involve supporting a complex home-grown application that assists people working on the manufacturing shop floor. Able to successfully perform hardware and software troubleshooting efforts, upgrade LabView software, and support calibration efforts. Develop visualization dashboards to update integration, qualification status. Using Agile methodology to develop the software using Python, Matlab, or LabVIEW. Creating designs and Implement code that are modular, scalable, robust and meet quality requirements. Integrate and Create software release candidates. Qualify software on virtual, simulated environments. Execute the defined system level test set. Analyze test results, troubleshoot issues arise during testing, and raise defects. Creates test result documents as required to support internal and external program reviews.
