Introduction

Do you get energy from working in a creative team with an innovative spirit? Do you like to collaborate and deepen the understanding how customer processes impact ASML products ? Do you have a technical background in mechanical / mechatronic design and want to learn more about lithography machine building? Then this might be the right opportunity for you.

Role and responsibilities

The research department is looking for a mechanical / multiphysics modelling expert.

Together with a multi-disciplinary team you will work on the designing, analyzing, and testing of new innovative product designs and production processes for the next-generation ASML machines. You will be closely engaging with ASML D&E department, suppliers and innovation partners.

We are looking for a modelling expert who gets energy from applying modelling and numerical techniques to solve real-world engineering challenges, where needed pushing the state-of-the art of modelling techniques. The role offers the opportunity to further grow into defining and owning the competence roadmap on the topic.

Education and experience

Education:

(Technical) University Master with relevant working experience or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, or similar engineering field (Aerospace, Physics, Mechatronics) with strong solid mechanics affinity.

Essential experience

Expert in solid mechanics and multi-physics numerical modelling techniques, experienced in advanced application of Finite Element modelling and analysis (FEA)

Several years of experience in building and applying continuum solid mechanics Finite Element models

Nice-to-have experience

Affinity with micro-mechanical process

Experience / affinity with validation of numerical models

Strong understanding of numerical modelling concepts and underlying mathematics

Hands-on experience with relevant modelling software (ANSYS, Matlab, COMSOL or equivalent modelling suites)

Experience with multi-physics modelling and flow modelling (CFD)

Context of the job

This position is within the Research department of ASML. At research, we aim to identify and fill the technological gaps within ASML, extending roadmaps of the lithography and metrology market. We work in small, diverse, and multidisciplinary teams of approximately 5 to 15 persons and deliver a proof of concepts or fundamental understanding that can be valorized and transferred within the company. We intensively work together with external research institutes and universities. ASML Research offers an informal innovative work atmosphere, opportunities for personal development, and a promising position to move to other ASML departments in the long run.

Your typical project work consists of developing and analyzing technical innovations to create a new machine module or production process. You will interact closely with your team to share your own work, steer ongoing developments and work-items, aiming to demonstrate technical feasibility. You will also collaborate with experts outside our department and company (academia, suppliers) seeking to understand problems, context, earlier ideas, and refine your own. As an technical expert you maintain a technical/scientific helicopter view on your area of expertise, and develop the area of expertise further to serve ASML business goals.

At the research department it is highly encouraged to spend time on activities outside your project, contributing to either technical or interpersonal subjects.

For this position, we are explicitly looking for an expert with the ambition to drive and further develop the specific area of expertise on mechanical / multi-physics modelling of interface processes.

Personal skills

The following personal skills are important:

Strong analytical skills, ability to simplify and get to the core of technical challenges

Ability to collaborate effectively in a diverse environment

An intrinsic motivation to be learning, self-educating, seeking to understand new problems and technology outside your own specialism

Adaptable towards changing circumstances and progressing (technical) insights, pragmatism in getting to solutions and defining next steps

Creative and rigorous approach towards solving problems

Good communicational and reporting skills, and good proficiency English.
