System Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• BS degree in a technical field and 5+ years of thorough experience; MS or PhD preferred (for JG08).
• BS degree in a technical field and 9+ years of substantial experience; MS or PhD preferred (for JG09).
• Education above a BS can compensate for years of experience depending on the candidate.
• Solid theoretical and practical experience with vacuum and gas-flow phenomena and applications, preferably in the semiconductor industry.
• Ability to specify vacuum systems, gas flows, pump-down and vent procedures, and architecture requirements for scanner and test-rig environments.
• Knowledge of molecular and particle cleanliness, surface particulate behavior, vacuum-grade cleanliness, materials compatibility, desorption issues, and contamination troubleshooting.
• Ability to plan and execute tests and DOEs, analyze measurement results, perform pressure-drop and flow budgeting, and use evidence to make practical recommendations.
• Ability to document standards, procedures, requirements, test evidence, and component specifications in Technical Product Documentation and present findings to varied technical audiences.
• Demonstrate strong technical writing and communication skills.
• Translates technical goals into clear priorities and delivers committed outcomes with quality and ownership.
• Works across disciplines, suppliers, and stakeholders to align expectations, resolve issues, and transfer knowledge between ASML units.
• Seeks and applies feedback, adapts approach, and improves collaboration in complex or ambiguous environments.
• Respects and integrates diverse perspectives to strengthen decision quality and inclusive execution.
• Establishes clear goals, roles, accountability, and ways of working while coaching others as applicable.
• Connects technical direction to business priorities and helps teams stay focused through ambiguity and change.
• Demonstrates high energy, self-motivation, quick learning, flexibility, and the ability to handle multiple projects and tasks concurrently with minimal guidance.
• This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work.

Nice To Haves

• Internal candidates familiar with Twinscan and vacuum systems ADT, vacuum systems hands-on architecture knowledge, or ASML vacuum system flow modeling will be given priority for hire.
• Experience with particle transport in flows, rarefied gas flow, plasma physics, electrostatics, surface science, RGA or other vacuum measurement techniques, and calculations or simulations for gas-flow and particle transport.
• Experience using modeling or simulation tools to predict gas flow, vacuum performance, contamination transport, or thermal-fluid behavior is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with Veldhoven machine conditioning architects, Defectivity MDU architects and leadership to specify vacuum systems and gas flows in scanners and test rigs.
• Partner with hardware project teams and lead designers to ensure vacuum and gas-flow requirements are successfully integrated throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Lead the ASML Wilton Engineer guild for machine conditioning architecture and vacuum systems competence onsite.
• Translate the overall system design into a gas-flow and vacuum architecture that meets system requirements.
• Specify vacuum system components, standards, and procedures and ensure they are properly recorded in Technical Product Documentation (TPD).
• Define, model, and execute qualification tests to verify that the architecture or subsystem performs all specified functions and meets all performance and design requirements.
• Support resolution of particle contamination issues through analysis and specification of flushing and venting procedures.
• Specify pump-down and vent procedures that ensure common flow performance.
• Participate in design reviews for test rigs and support functional integration of architectures or subsystems.
• Execute design of experiments for degassing chambers and components on product and process levels.
• Provide surface particulate and vacuum-grade cleanliness support, hands on troubleshoot escalations, and contribute practical recommendations from analysis.
• Transfer vacuum systems knowledge between ASML units and frequently interact with D&E Delivery Teams, functions, competences, customer support, and research.
• Perform analyses and calculations to predict flow architecture or subsystem functionality, including pressure-drop budgeting, flow budgeting, humidification, and gas purity.
• Take direction from ASML System Architects and principal engineering mentors leading critical large-capital-equipment development efforts.
• Follow EHS policies and proactively identify, communicate, and mitigate safety risks.

Benefits

• Work on technology that enables the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers.
• Solve highly complex multidisciplinary engineering challenges.
• Collaborate with globally recognized experts in vacuum technology, contamination control, and lithography.
• Influence future EUV and High-NA technology platforms.
• Grow through technical leadership, mentoring, and cross-site collaboration opportunities.
