About The Position

ASML is seeking a Mechatronics Design Engineer for its Wilton, Connecticut development location to work on photolithography equipment. The role specifies, designs, develops, realizes, integrates, and tests modules and tools within multidisciplinary teams, collaborating with cross-functional partners and suppliers to meet system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules. The engineer provides discipline-specific expertise throughout the product life cycle, including concept feasibility, new product introduction, product sustainment, and customer-facing problem resolution. The primary focus is mechatronics and control systems for advanced lithography-tool modules, including precision handling of delicate parts, product and system integration, and software functionality. At this job grade, the engineer leads development of complex module components and owns technically complex solutions, accounting for industrialization and cross-team impacts. The role includes guiding a small group of peers through technical execution, leading supplier and cross-discipline interfaces, and contributing to system-level integration and delivery. Work includes designing and sustaining mechatronic systems, resolving equipment issues at customer sites, conducting root-cause analysis, and developing and executing validation and verification strategies, tests, and tooling. The position is on-site and requires in-person attendance for work events, training, and meetings; a flexible arrangement permits remote work up to two days per week. Travel may be required based on business needs. The role may involve exposure to strong magnetic fields, high voltage, and currents. Access to controlled technology is required, and qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access it before beginning work.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Engineering degree in a relevant technical field.
At least 4 years of relevant work experience.
Direct experience in the design and testing of mechatronic systems and control systems.
Ability to identify, analyze, document, and manage requirements with traceability; translate them into specifications and align interfaces.
Ability to develop engineering concepts and solutions, make technical tradeoffs, resolve issues, and realize designs within system or module constraints.
Ability to plan and execute verification and validation, support integration, and maintain disciplined configuration and traceability.
Strong technical writing and English communication skills, including presenting results supported by statistical evidence to audiences with varying technical backgrounds.
Ability to derive conclusions from analyses and make practical recommendations.
Ability to meet onsite attendance requirements; remote work is available up to two days per week.
Legally authorized to access controlled technology before beginning work.

Nice To Haves

Master's or Ph.D. degree.
Mechatronics engineering background or specialization in a closely related field such as robotics.
Experience with PID controllers, linear and nonlinear calibrations, and flexible dynamics.
Basic experience with predictive modeling of mechatronics behavior and methods in MATLAB/SIMULINK or similar tools, including first-principles engineering equations, particularly for control-system simulation and implementation.
Knowledge of classical and digital control theory, including frequency-domain analysis, stability, Nyquist and Bode plots, velocity-acceleration-jerk, feedback and feedforward, dynamics, gain and phase, transfer functions, continuous and discrete feedback control, and real-time controls.
Exposure to multidisciplinary projects involving imaging or optical systems, semiconductors, or lithography.

Responsibilities

Lead development of complex parts of modules and deliver technically complex solutions with ownership, considering industrialization and cross-team impacts.
Collaborate across teams, lead interfaces with suppliers and other disciplines, and guide a small group of peers through technical execution.
Design and develop custom mechatronics systems, including translating stages, rotary motion, multi-link positioners, sensors, servos, and actuators.
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 design robust, quality products.
Work with external suppliers on aspects of new product design and collaborate with internal cross-discipline teams.
Perform root-cause analysis and troubleshoot from system to component level.
Define and document specifications, design decisions, operations, test procedures, and test reports for a clean manufacturing environment.
Develop and implement product validation and verification strategies; define and execute test approaches and improve methods and procedures.
Troubleshoot designs to identify risks and failure modes and determine corrective actions.
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 translate results into recommendations and decision inputs.
Develop engineering concepts and solutions, make technical choices, and resolve issues to meet functionality, performance, cost, compliance, and schedule needs.
Define and communicate specifications and high-level designs, align interfaces, and support reviews and approvals.
Support system or product integration by coordinating dependencies and applying configuration management.
Estimate effort, plan and track work, manage risks and dependencies, and deliver work packages or projects to agreed quality and timelines.
Maintain accurate technical documentation, share knowledge through coaching and mentoring as applicable, and follow EHS policies while identifying and mitigating safety risks.
