engineering, PhysicsTravel10%Introduction to the jobASML 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 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, 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." This position
requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export
Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. - 730, et seq.). Qualified
candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled
technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require
ASM0L to proceed with applicants who are immediately eligible to
access controlled technology." Role and responsibilitiesWe have
unique and exciting opportunity to join our Technology Development
team, focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies
required for next generations of high-power extreme ultraviolet
(EUV) light sources. Based on a laser produced plasma (LPP), our
light source relies on a wide range of unique and challenging
technologies, ranging from laser light amplification and high-power
optical systems to laser produced plasma 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.A key ingredient in the
EUV generation process is a stable source of molten tin droplets.
These droplets provide the fuel for the laser-produced plasma and
serve as the heart-beat for synchronizing the EUV source. The
challenge is to reliably produce nearly perfect droplets of molten
tin at a rate of tens of thousands of times per second with speeds
of 10's of m/s and position stability within a fraction of a
droplet diameter. If these dimensions were scaled up to the game of
golf, this would be equivalent to continuously scoring hole-in-ones
in a hole that's 25 km away in swirling gas flows and a plasma
that's hotter than the surface of the sun. The successful candidate
will be comfortable operating in this diverse mix of physics,
engineering and materials science, in order to define the droplet
generator architecture for next generations of the EUV source. The
successful candidate have a passion for innovation, be driven by
curiosity, and have deep understanding of fundamental
physics.Duties and Responsibilities:Develop and modify the acoustic
design of droplet generator for high pressure droplet generator
geometries.Work with a team engineers/scientist on exploratory
development actuation methodologies for stable acoustic modes for
droplet generation.Integration of acoustic cavities with variety of
piezo designs and actuation approaches.Identify key scientific
learning objectives and define corresponding experimental design to
arrive at design guidelines, performance requirements and
procedures to product teams.Identification of key scientific
learning objectives and corresponding experimental design which
will further the technological progress of the EUV generation
process.Demonstration of system-wide performance targets to meet
the future technology roadmap.Develop and execute system and
subsystem performance tests, analyze test results and extract
actionable knowledge from sub-module to full-system
levels.Troubleshoot issues droplet generator, communicates with
mechanical designers and scientist to resolve potential
issues.Document learning and communicate knowledge to engineering
and product development teams to guide product improvement and
release of new product nodes.Work independently and in teams to
deliver on a stated objective, whether it be the pursuit of new
knowledge, the demonstration of a new capability, or the
characterization of existing performance.Contribute to support for
existing droplet generators on test benches and model EUV sources,
design experiments for test benches.Perform other duties as
assigned or required.Education and experiencePhD with relevant
experience in acoustic engineering, mechanical engineering, physics
or equivalent field.Experience with designing acoustic
cavities.Intimate knowledge of material properties relevant for
acoustic designs such as glasses, metals, etc.Experience with
acoustic modelling and work together with modeling groups.Deep
understanding of scientific research methods and strong scientific
curiosity, with demonstrated knowledge in metrology development and
data analysis.Hands-on experience with acoustics
experiments.Experience/knowledge of microfluidics, liquid jet
breakup and droplet coalescence in particular; piezoelectricity;
and acoustics is a plus.Extensive experience with experimental data
analysis, and development of data analysis and data
acquisition.Demonstrated communication skills with colleagues/peers
and experts.Ability to clearly and logically communicate ideas and
knowledge audiences with diverse backgrounds.Demonstrated ability
to manage and lead a research project involving multiple
stakeholders and constraints.Demonstrated ability to work
effectively as a part of a team and lead investigation and research
efforts.SkillsWorking at the cutting edge of tech, you'll always
have new challenges and new problems to solve - and working
together is the only way to do that. You won't work in a silo.
Instead, you'll be part of a creative, dynamic work environment
where you'll collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is
always space for creative and unique points of view. You'll have
the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and
solve problems.Diversity & InclusionASML is an Equal Opportunity
