Design Engineer Alignment Job Description

Introduction
Working on the forefront of semiconductor manufacturing by designing integral application solutions around the world’s most advanced lithography tools.

Job Mission
One of the main key performance indicators (KPI) of lithography is overlay accuracy. The main competency of the On Product Performance Alignment group is the development of wafer fab applications that optimize the alignment between layers consisting of printed features on actual product wafers of our customers in order to improve overlay performance and thus contributing to customer’s yield and profitability.As a design engineer alignment you will design and support the implementation of alignment solutions that improve the overlay performance on actual product wafers. Your scope exceeds the overlay performance of ASML’s lithographic equipment, and includes effects on the on-product alignment performance caused by other processing equipment, masks, metrology, and the choices that are made by the customer on how to do process setup and control.You are responsible for creating and refining ASML’s application products that will improve the on-product performance of our customers. You will do this in close collaboration with the customer, and connected to the introduction of a new technology node in production of the customer. Your proposals for application product improvement can cover a wide variety of solutions concerning process fingerprint root cause analysis, choices in process control strategies, metrology mark choice and design and process optimization. The findings will also be used for improvement in the scanner modules.You are expected to represent ASML as an expert in the field and to get recognition for this by the customers. Since you will be working intimately with customers and sensitive customer data, a high level of integrity is required for securing confidentiality, while at the same time being able to translate these into ASML product improvements or new product developments.

Job Description
The job consists of following activities:

• Maximize the application of ASML products to the benefit of the customer
• Participate actively in identifying future product features and new application product development
• You’ll also be responsible for designing and prototyping models in Matlab
• You’ll also be responsible for customer data analysis
• Deliver validated product improvement proposals that can be implemented by software engineers.
