Introduction to the role
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 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, 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.

Preliminary design
Specify (sub)module using team input, design architecture, make technical choices in all phases, solve technical issues, devise new approaches to problems encountered and drive the development of the module.
Prepare high level design of the (sub)module fulfilling the requirements set while addressing architectural and interface choices. Document the high level design in the relevant SEG documents.
Detailed design
Design engineering solutions and the associated validation process to enable the realization of a design brief (for example, in terms of functionality, performance, aesthetics, and cost) that conforms to organizational and/or regulatory standards.
Detail out the design including its documentation.
Integration
Integrate sub-systems into the system, execute configuration management, and provide support to projects
Product quality / Testing
Develop and validate complex new test methods and procedures for a product or operations segment, incorporating new technologies and meeting changing organizational, customer, and/or regulatory requirements.
Safety
Adheres to ASML's EHS policies, procedures and mandatory instructions; identifies and mitigates safety risk and safeguards the environment and well-being of oneself and others. Instructs the team in safe working methods and identifies instances of risky behaviors within the team and takes appropriate action, escalating serious issues as appropriate.
Project management
Create high level work breakdown, support planning, provide effort estimates and manage assigned projects, delegate tasks and ensure timely execution and delivery according to quality standards, within the project management guidelines.
Communication and documentation
Ensure and support optimal communication of specifications to all relevant parties to improve the decision processes, and prepare the introduction of approved new projects by defining all technical specifications on system level for Development / Engineering.
Knowledge
Keep abreast of new methods and developments in one's area of expertise and in general affecting ASML, develop and maintain own (mainly internal) network and contribute to the overall broadening and maintenance of ASML's technology base. Share knowledge, including coaching and mentoring of more junior colleagues.
