About The Position

ASML is seeking a Mechatronics / Robotics Design Engineer for its Wilton, Connecticut development location. The engineer specifies, designs, develops, realizes, integrates, and tests modules and tools as part of a multidisciplinary team, working with cross-functional partners and suppliers. The role delivers solutions within system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules, and provides mechatronics expertise throughout the product life cycle, from concept feasibility and new product introduction through product sustainment and customer-facing problem resolution. The position focuses on mechatronics and control systems for advanced lithography-tool modules, including precision handling of delicate parts, product and system integration, and software functionality. Work includes custom mechatronics and industrial robotics integration, motion and control systems, testing and qualification, and sustaining engineering. The engineer contributes to design and analysis with increasing independence and guidance from senior engineers, and supports the development of competitive, achievable, serviceable products. The role is based onsite, with a flexible arrangement allowing remote work up to two days per week. Access to controlled technology is required; candidates must be legally authorized to access it before beginning work. The position may involve domestic or international travel depending on business needs and potential exposure to strong magnetic fields, high voltage, and currents.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, analyze, integrate, test, and troubleshoot mechatronic components, submodules, modules, and tools.
Develop custom mechatronics systems, including translating stages, rotary motion, multi-link positioners, sensors, servos, and actuators.
Design path-optimization algorithms and associated controls for end products.
Analyze and improve dynamic disturbance response in robotic systems.
Integrate industrial robotics control systems into capital equipment, including dynamics, end-effector design, and controls.
Perform sustaining engineering and resolve equipment design issues, including issues arising at customer sites.
Participate in concept designs and experiments for future equipment and subsystems.
Apply Six Sigma and lean process techniques to develop robust, high-quality designs.
Work with external suppliers and internal cross-disciplinary teams to develop aspects of new product designs.
Perform root-cause analysis and troubleshoot from system to component level.
Define and document specifications, design decisions, procedures, and operational instructions for clean manufacturing environments.
Develop and implement product validation and verification (V&V) strategies; test product requirements and support qualification and release readiness.
Run complex mechatronic systems to test and qualify design changes.
Design, develop, and build product-specific test tooling.
Identify, analyze, document, and manage requirements with traceability, and coordinate verification criteria.
Conduct research and feasibility studies; document findings and provide recommendations, tradeoffs, and decision inputs.
Define and communicate specifications and high-level designs, align interfaces, and support reviews and approvals.
Coordinate integration dependencies and configuration management to support project execution.
Estimate effort, plan and track work, manage risks and dependencies, and deliver assigned work to agreed quality and timelines.
Maintain technical documentation, share knowledge through coaching and mentoring as applicable, follow EHS policies, and identify and mitigate safety risks.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver engineering solutions and support system integration and technical problem-solving.
