Software Integrator

ASML US brings 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 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 Chandler Arizona San Jose and San Diego California Wilton Connecticut and Hillsboro Oregon.

We are looking for a software engineer who has a passion for designing and coding software for a distributed control system. They should also be excited about the opportunity to integrate AI into existing systems and processes to improve efficiency and ASML and you will be joining a team that operates in a fast-paced uniquely innovative and challenging environment to create world class EUV technology within ASML.

You will work with software and control system engineers in an Agile team as you develop software in response to the system requirements and design documents. You will get to participate in designing for excellence keeping in mind all the cities and abilities like reusability modularity simplicity maintainability In addition you will determine the best test methodologies and contribute in all aspects of the software development build test and release cycle.

In this role you will partner with software architects and functional engineers to design test and deploy innovative software solutions for our global customer base. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment.

Control system software overview:

The control loops involve data exchange at speeds up to 100 kHz while data collection for diagnostics purposes is done at up to 1Khz rate. There is interaction between control loops running on quad core boards and platform software that runs on IBM bladecenter. Data is stored on board in postgres databases and is shipped via the fab network to data servers in San Diego. Our graphical user interface developed using Qt serves a complex set of users - operators engineers scientists and customers. And we dont forget safety; the control system has a Siemens PLC to ensure both human safety is ensured and machine damage is prevented. CPDs are user-facing applications that allow operators to perform diagnostics and maintenance. Drivers provide programmatic interfaces for changing physical components of the machine.

Role and responsibilities:

• Working in a team of highly skilled software and cross functional engineers responsible for delivering software solutions that enables the ever-increasing miniaturization of semiconductor technology.

• Work in hard and soft real time domain with complex hardware interfaces and various communication protocols and platforms (Xilinx SOC PLC TCP/IP Ethercat etc.).

• Using Agile methodology to develop the software using C and Python on Linux OS environments.
