ASML US 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 Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.
ASML’s Research Group in Wilton CT is seeking a Physicist/Engineer with experience in optical engineering. The candidate will work on the development of evolutionary designs as well as novel designs of optical/photonic sensor systems used within ASML’s photolithography and/or metrology tools. These systems typically include light sources, detectors, optical and electro-optical components, fiber optics, mechatronics, electronics and signal processing modules. The systems include custom software and software functions. Understanding the various components and their relation to the sensor performance is of fundamental importance.
