Introduction to the jobThe Manufacturing NPI (New Product Introduction) organization ensures that newly designed functionalities can be successfully transferred from DE into volume production. This position specializes in the software and computer system for system and submodules, ensuring new designs are manufacturable, stable, diagnosable, and ready for factory volume production.This role is not traditional software development. Instead, it focuses on:Linux‑based control system behaviorC# / python control logic interpretation, MATLAB as plusmotion‑control and automation sequence analysisdiagnostics, signal/power tracing, IO/communication behaviormanufacturability and testability readiness before volume buildYou will work closely with DE, process engineering, and integration teams to identify risks early and ensure smooth and robust NPI ramp‑up.Role and responsibilitiesNew Product Introduction (NPI)Participate in DE design reviews with a focus on software, control logic, automation sequences, and diagnostic readiness.Foresee manufacturability issues early and provide feedback to improve software-control robustness.Validate that new modules include necessary error tables, logs, test hooks, trace signals, and support effective troubleshooting.Prepare manufacturing for volume takeover by defining required sequences, procedures, and control‑related checks.Drive smooth DE → Manufacturing release for new module/submodule designs.Software Control DiagnosticsSoftware Control DiagnosticsAnalyze Linux-based module behavior, automation flows, and C# / C++ control sequences.Perform signal and power tracing, IO/communication diagnostics, and analyze motion profiles (position/velocity/acceleration).Distinguish issues caused by: software logic /automation sequence timing /IO/memory behavior /PCB/electrical interactions/mechatronic couplingProvide structured technical feedback to DE for design improvement and reliability enhancement.3rd Line Support for NPI BuildsSupport early‑phase hardware and software integration during engineering and pilot builds.Resolve complex module/submodule issues that exceed factory 1st‑line capability.Provide clear, structured problem definitions for DE and guide triage on MDEV/MTD cases.Ensure zero-repeat issues through design improvements, diagnostic enhancements, or process changes.Process, Documentation Factory ReadinessDefine and maintain NPI control‑related sequences, diagnostic guides, and test flows.Ensure all work prep, procedures, acceptance criteria, logs, and test sequences are ready before ramp.Identify missing processes or diagnostic gaps and create new documentation as needed.Validate that the factory has complete, accurate, and up‑to‑date instructions for new modules.Stakeholder Management CoachingRepresent Manufacturing in DE/PGP discussions for module introduction.Collaborate with TS, CS, ME, SCE, Quality, and cross‑factory engineering teams.Coach engineers and operators on module behavior, control troubleshooting, and NPI-specific diagnostics.Required QualificationsEducationBachelor’s orMaster’s degree inComputer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, or related technical fields.Technical SkillsExperience with Linux-based control systems.Proficiency in C# and/or C++, especially for understanding and analyzing system control logic (not application-level coding).Familiarity with: Motion control fundamentals (position/velocity/acceleration loops)/Automation control theory/IO interfaces, communication protocols, and memorybehaviors /PCB basics, schematic reading, and signal/power tracingStrong analytical and logical reasoning skills for root cause analysis.Problem-SolvingExperience with system-level debugging, control logic analysis, or automation/machine troubleshooting.Ability to translate ambiguous system symptoms into clear, structured technical problems.Cross-functional CollaborationAbility to work closely with DE, presenting technical findings and participating in deep-dive engineering discussions.Capable of delivering technical presentations during interviews (topic assigned by hiring manager).Preferred QualificationsExperience with semiconductor equipment, precision motion systems, automation machinery, robotics, metrology, or stage control systems.Familiarity with real-time control, EtherCAT, PLC interactions, embedded Linux, or automation controllers.Hands-on experience with sensor/actuator integration or motion tuning.Exposure to ECN, MDEV/MTD methods, or structured root cause analysis processes.Ability to design controlled experiments and interpret complex logs to support structural fixes.This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States 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 ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.Inclusion and diversityASML is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values and respects the importance of a diverse and inclusive workforce.
