Introduction to the job
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 are seeking an Algorithm Engineer with a strong foundation in optics and physics to help advance our computational lithography capabilities. You will contribute to the development of physicsbased and datadriven models across the lithography stack (mask optics resist etch) and build highperformance algorithms that improve accuracy and throughput for production headquarters are in Veldhoven the Netherlands and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices inChandler Arizona San Jose and San Diego California Wilton Connecticut and Hillsboro Oregon.
Role and responsibilities
Design implement and optimize algorithms for OPC (Optical Proximity Correction) optical/resist modeling and verification workflows used in manufacturing.
Develop simulation pipelines and numerical solvers (e.g. C/C and Python) with robust unit tests documentation and performance benchmarking.
Apply machinelearning techniques to image processing/recognition and model acceleration; evaluate alternatives and recommend solutions based on accuracy runtime and maintainability.
Collaborate with crossfunctional partners in modeling mask/optics and product engineering to integrate algorithms into production flows and tools.
Own endtoend quality (validation datasets regression gates log/telemetry hygiene) for reliable deployment at scale.
Education and experience
Masters degree or higher in Physics/Optics Applied Mathematics Electrical Engineering Computer Science or a closely related field.
Skills
Strong mathematics (numerical methods optimization linear algebra statistics).
Strong physics/optics intuition and experience modeling physical systems.
Solid coding experience (preferably C/C and Python) and modern software engineering practices (testing code review CI).
Other information
Preferred qualifications
Handson experience with OPC and compact/rigorous models; familiarity with FEM/LMCbased verification and lithography process effects
Background in image science or computational imaging; experience with ML frameworks for model acceleration.
Highperformance computing (multicore memory optimization) and profiling skills for largescale simulations.
Scripting for workflow automation; proficiency with version control and reproducible experimentation.
