Senior Mechatronics Engineer

ASML•Wilton, CT

7d•$102,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

ASML is hiring a Senior Mechatronics Engineer for its development location in Wilton, Connecticut. The engineer will specify, design, develop, realize, integrate, and test modules and tools for photolithography systems, working with cross-functional teams and suppliers. The role delivers solutions that meet system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules and provides mechatronics expertise throughout the product lifecycle, including feasibility studies, new product introduction, product sustainment, and customer-facing problem resolution. The position focuses on mechatronics and control systems for advanced lithography-tool modules, including precision handling, product and system integration, and software functionality. The engineer will take ownership of complex module work, consider industrialization and cross-team impacts, lead supplier and discipline interfaces, and guide peers through technical execution. Scope and leadership expectations increase with job grade. The work includes designing custom mechatronic systems and controls; integrating industrial robotics into capital equipment; conducting system- and component-level troubleshooting and root cause analysis; developing test tooling and executing verification, validation, and qualification; and documenting specifications, design decisions, operating procedures, test procedures, and reports. The engineer will also support sustaining engineering, future equipment concepts, design quality, and resolution of equipment issues at customer sites. This position may involve access to controlled technology. Candidates must be legally authorized to access that technology before beginning work; business needs may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible. There is potential exposure to strong magnetic fields, high voltage, and high currents.
