Principal Mechanical Engineer

Join to apply for the Principal Mechanical Engineer role at ASML

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 chip makers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.

Introduction to the role

The mission of the Mechanical Design Engineer at ASML is to create incredible products using the latest technology and manufacturing techniques, while collaborating with a team of dedicated and high-performing technical experts. Quality is at the forefront of the engineering requirements for this group and we strive to provide the best performing and highest quality products within the scope of the program schedule.

Role and responsibilities

• Assists with an assigned light source sub-system project through direct technical advice, specifications/design, approvals, and collaboration with Development Engineering team.

• Assists in providing a broad mechanical engineering design background and performs mechanical engineering analysis (stress, vibrations, thermal), design for control and distribution of inert and hazardous gases, air and water handling for thermal management of equipment and enclosures, large enclosure design, electrical component packaging, mechanical structural mounts and fixtures, design for manufacturability in low volume products, and design for configuration management.

• Assists in generating module or system concepts to meet product requirements.

• Assists in performing detailed design and component layout for new or improved subsystems.

• Assumes engineering responsibility for component and subassembly test development, data acquisition, analysis, and reporting.

• Performs tolerance analysis at system and subsystem level.

• Performs analytical analysis for thermal and structural components and sub-modules.

• Assists in project planning including key deliverables, timeline, and budget.

• Works with other Engineers analysts and CAD Designers for prototype and pilot detailed design.

• Supports driving full documentation of design including, BOM, technical drawings, test plans and procedures.

• Responsible for the research and selection of new suppliers with potential for turn-key provision of key subsystems. Responsible for providing technical expertise in the core technology area of the potential suppliers to reveal best design path and performance.

• Interacts closely with development engineers, scientists, suppliers, and QA to resolve quality issues.

• Advises Project Leads with technical expertise

• Advises and mentors lower level mechanical design engineers

• Presents technical data to a broad audience

• Possible travel domestic / international (10%)

• Performs other duties as assigned.

Education and experience

• Requires minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of twelve (12) years of relevant work experience. Can consider a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum of ten (10) years of relevant work experience.

• Ability to translate, statistically analyze data, and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.

• Skilled in designing complex parts and / or assemblies with associated calculations and backup data.

• Experience working with cross-functional teams and able to work on multiple tasks simultaneously.

• Ability to delegate work as needed.

• Experience with tolerance analysis at system and subsystem level, with the ability to generate a tolerance analysis as a deliverable for presentation to a technical group. This analysis should include, thermal, manufacturing and environmental inputs.

• Working knowledge of engineering materials i.e. ferrous and non-ferrous/refractory metals, to include manufacturability, weldability, compatibility, etc.

• Proficiency in Engineering Change (ECN / ECR / ECO) process required for new or revised…
