Source Research Project Lead

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 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 Wilton CT Chandler AZ San Jose CA and San Diego CA.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Source Research Project Lead to join our dynamic and innovative Technology Development team focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies required for next generations of high-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and Deep ultraviolet (DUV) light light sourcesrely on a wide range of unique and challenging technologies ranging from laser light amplification and high-power optical systems to laser produced laser for EUV generation electro-optical signal detection and algorithm-based actuation for process control. You are invited to bring your passion knowledge and expertise in areas of applied physics plasmas metrology optics controls lasers and experiment design to push the boundaries of these technologies forward.

In this role you will help to advance the lightsource technology for next generation products. You will be invited to join the research team responsible for pathfinding and innovating the heart of the EUV source the drive laser to enable the performance of the next generation light sourceproducts. As aproject lead you will organize the teams tasks in alignment with the teams 3 in a box the group lead and architect. Your project team will conceive and evaluate technical concepts and design and develop experimentation to test the validity of such hypothesis. You will plan and manage resources for such ideation and experimental validation up to full scale architecture performance demonstrations. Furthermore you will drive innovation to scale light sourcepower and stability by collaborating closely with the Controls and Software team as well as laser scientists. Finally you will foster cross-functional teamwork connecting with the droplet generator and tin management research teams towards a holistic lightsource development vision.
