Laser System Research Architect

Introductionto the job

ASML US LP brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster cheaper more energyefficient microchips. We design develop integrate market and service these advanced machines which enable our customers the worlds 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 the Netherlands and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Wilton CT Chandler AZ San Jose CA and San Diego CA.

Job Mission

We are presenting you with a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative Source Research team focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies required for next generations of highpower Laser Produced Plasma Extreme Ultraviolet (LPPEUV) light sources and DUV lasers. Our light sources rely on a wide range of unique and challenging technologies ranging from laser light amplification and highpower optical systems to laser produced plasma for EUV generation electrooptical signal detection and algorithmbased actuation for process control. We invite you to bring your passion knowledge and expertise in applied physics plasmas metrology optics controls lasers and experiment design to advance these technologies.

Role and responsibilities

• Guide the development of highlevel architecture definitions for laser design including discharge type gas flow optical design and other areas relevant to the lasers

• Maintain technology roadmap; guide product pathfinding at low technical readiness through to systemlevel validation

• Build and maintain model improvement and metrology improvement roadmaps

• Identify and maintain bidirectional requirements between the lasers and other system functions both within Source Research as well as product teams

• Identification of key scientific learning objectives and corresponding experimental design which will further the technological progress of the lasers

• Demonstration of systemwide performance targets to meet the future technology roadmap

• Develop and execute system and subsystem performance tests analyze test results and extract actionable knowledge from submodule to fullsystem levels

• Troubleshoot laser and subsystem issues to enhance system performance.

• Document learning and communicate knowledge to engineering and product development teams to guide product improvement and release of new product nodes

• Work independently and in teams to deliver on a stated objective whether it be the pursuit of new knowledge the demonstration of a new capability or the characterization of existing performance

Education and Experience

• PhD with 4 years (or MS degree with 8 years) of relevant experience in laser physics optics photonics electrical engineering or equivalent field

• Proven track record of identifying systemlevel needs and decomposing them into specific technical directions to meet those needs

• Understanding of laser physics engineering and control

• Handson experience with breadboard laser and optical system design alignment and performance characterization

• Understanding of scientific research methods and strong scientific curiosity

• Ability to clearly communicate ideas and knowledge to various audiences

• Demonstrated ability to lead a team while valuing the input of individuals and ensuring that everyones voice is heard
