IntroductionJoin ASML Wilton today to receive your sign on bonus
and relocation.
- Offer valid for Wilton, CT new hire offers made between now and
December 23, 2022.ASML US, including its affiliates and
subsidiaries, bring together the most creative minds in science and
technology to develop lithography machines that are key to
producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We
design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced
machines, which enable our customers - the world's leading
chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of
their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful
consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven,
Netherlands and we have 18 office locations around the United
States including main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and
San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro,
Oregon.Job MissionASML is seeking an experienced Material Scientist
with expertise in tribology and surface interactions of glass,
ceramics and carbon based coatings to produce ultra-high precision
systems. You will join the Advanced Development Center in Wilton,
Connecticut - A Research and Development team focused on
proto-typing of next generation wafer/reticle clamping systems. The
main job function is to understand the friction and wear mechanisms
on critical component surfaces, identifying solutions to
extend/improve the component lifetime and to solve challenging
engineering problems associated with achieving nanometer scale
precision. In this role you will focus on characterizing, testing
and modeling surface phenomena for wafer table product development
from concept through prototyping to industrialization.This position
may require access to controlled technology, as defined in the
Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. - 730, et seq.). As a
condition of employment, qualified candidates must be legally
authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning
work. Business demands may require the Company to proceed with
candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled
technology.Job DescriptionThe main focus of this position will be:
- Understand/improve friction properties and wear behavior of
materials used in the current system with appropriate testing
techniques and equipment
- Investigate and characterize material to material friction and
wear mechanisms
- Develop, demonstrate feasibility and industrialize new
integrated process flows for prototyping of next generation
wafer/reticle clamping systems
- Solve any engineering challenges that we encounter related to
chemical and material aspects of design and manufacturing process
of optical and ceramic substrates to achieve the precision and life
time performance at sub-nanometer scale
- Investigate material issues/challenges using appropriate
material diagnostic tools (e.g. SEM/EDS, AFM, WLI, friction
testing, nano-indentation, etc.)
- Perform flatness, roughness and other metrology measurements
using WLI, Interferometers and AFM
- Perform data analysis of surface characterization measurements
and correlate with modeling results
- Understand and link the performance of the process effects to
the performance of ASMLs systems in field
- Clearly communicate progress and status of ongoing technical
activities to senior management
- Support preparation of design reviews for the development
team
- Prepare engineer documentation (e.g. Element Performance
Specifications, Element Design Specifications, Test Performance
Specification, Test Analysis Reports, etc.) and release the
documents by following change control process
- Write engineering procedures and train technicians to
efficiently transfer the build/alignment/test process to
manufacturingEducation
