San Diego, California, United States ASML Germany GmbH Full time

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Optical Engineer to contribute to our DUV Excimer Laser initiatives. This role focuses on the specification, design, development, and testing of optical modules for advanced laser systems. The position requires collaboration with mechanical, hardware, and software engineering teams to facilitate the comprehensive development of laser technologies. The ideal candidate will also act as the main technical liaison for outsourced optical design tasks, which includes specifying, selecting, and qualifying both active and passive optical components, creating and benchmarking optical system performance models, and developing testing protocols while selecting suitable test equipment. Effective engineering analysis, troubleshooting, and communication are critical components of this position.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assume engineering accountability for the design of DUV Excimer laser subsystems/modules/components from initial concept through to manufacturing transition.
  • Engage in development activities utilizing the ASML Product Generation Process, which encompasses requirements definition, engineering assessments, risk evaluations, verification testing, and comprehensive documentation.
  • Contribute to project planning, outlining key deliverables, timelines, and budgets while monitoring actions and aligning schedules.
  • Create optical module or system concepts that fulfill product specifications.
  • Conduct detailed optical design, component layout, and ray tracing for new or enhanced optical subsystems.
  • Perform optical tolerance analysis at both system and subsystem levels.
  • Validate concepts through prototype builds, testing, and analysis.
  • Develop testing strategies, formulate test procedures, execute tests, and analyze data.
  • Troubleshoot and investigate failures or performance discrepancies in existing systems, collaborating with Reliability and Test Engineers to plan investigations and propose solutions.
  • Assemble and evaluate opto-mechanical and electro-optic prototypes.
  • Collaborate with Mechanical Engineers and CAD Designers to ensure thorough documentation of designs, including Bills of Materials, drawings, and procedures.
  • Work with manufacturing engineering to create and implement designs that enhance manufacturability.
  • Coordinate with purchasing to acquire prototype components for assembly.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing teams to oversee the assembly of pilot production units.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

Qualifications

A Master's degree in Optics Engineering, Physics, or Electrical Engineering with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. in the same fields with at least 3 years of applicable experience is required.

  • At least eight (8) years of experience in Optical or Opto-mechanical Design.
  • Experience in Product Development is preferred, including managing bills of materials, vendor interactions, and material procurement for prototyping.
  • Familiarity with Excimer Lasers is advantageous.
  • Experience in designing, specifying components for, and constructing experimental setups and prototypes.
  • Proficient in conducting systematic experimental measurements with a solid grasp of metrology error analysis.
  • Experience in mounting optical components to minimize mechanical and thermal stress, with knowledge of FEA and modal analysis being beneficial.
  • Demonstrated innovation in addressing complex optical design challenges, including contamination control and robustness considerations.
  • Comprehensive understanding of optical engineering principles.
  • Experience with ray tracing using Optical Design Software (Oslo, Zemax, Code 5, etc.).
  • Proficient in MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and electronic communication systems.

Skills

In this dynamic environment, you will face new challenges and problems that require collaborative solutions. A creative and supportive work atmosphere is essential, allowing for diverse perspectives and approaches to problem-solving.
