About The Position

ASML is seeking a Mechatronics / Robotics Design Engineer for its development location in Wilton, Connecticut. 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 to meet system specifications, cost targets, and schedules. The role provides discipline-specific expertise across the product life cycle, from concept feasibility and new product introduction to product sustainment and customer-facing problem resolution. Its primary focus is mechatronics and control systems for advanced lithography-tool modules, including precision handling, product and system integration, and software functionality. The position takes technical ownership of complex module components and solutions, accounting for industrialization and cross-team impacts. Work includes designing custom mechatronic systems and controls, integrating industrial robotics into capital equipment, developing and executing validation and verification approaches, and resolving equipment issues. The role also involves coordinating interfaces with suppliers and other disciplines, documenting specifications and test results, and guiding peers through technical execution. The scope of leadership and ownership increases with job grade. The position is located on-site and requires in-person attendance for work-related events, training, and meetings. A flexible workplace arrangement allows remote work up to two days per week. Travel may be required depending on business needs. Work may involve exposure to strong magnetic fields, high voltage, and currents. Candidates must be legally authorized to access controlled technology 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.
Experience designing and testing mechatronic and control systems; experience with industrial robotics integration is preferred.
Ability to identify, analyze, document, and manage requirements with traceability and translate them into clear specifications.
Ability to develop engineering concepts, make sound technical tradeoffs, resolve issues, and realize designs that meet system or module requirements.
Ability to plan and execute verification and validation and support system or product integration.
Ability to coordinate dependencies and apply configuration management and traceability.
Ability to derive conclusions from analyses and make practical recommendations.
Strong technical writing and English communication skills, including presenting results based on statistical evidence to audiences with varied technical backgrounds.
Ability to translate goals into priorities and execution plans, take ownership, manage trade-offs, and deliver results on time and to the required quality.
Ability to seek and use feedback, adapt behavior, and collaborate effectively in complex or ambiguous environments.
Ability to respect and integrate diverse perspectives and working styles and foster inclusive collaboration.
Ability to align team goals, roles, dependencies, and ways of working; promote trust, open dialogue, and mutual accountability; and coach colleagues.
Ability to translate broader direction into priorities and practical next steps and maintain focus on shared outcomes.
Legal authorization to access controlled technology, as defined in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, before beginning work.
Ability to perform the stated physical activities, including sitting, walking, using hands to operate a keyboard and handle objects, and occasionally moving around campus and lifting or moving up to 20 pounds.
Specific vision abilities required include close vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.

Nice To Haves

Master's or Ph.D. degree.
