About us

High-tech innovation happens where people, materials, and processes work together seamlessly. This is where you come in: In this role, you keep the big picture in view, connect diverse stakeholders, and create the foundation for a high-performing and reliable production environment. Join a team that is dedicated to making technological innovation possible every day.

Your role

You will act as the central coordination interface between Engineering, Logistics, and Production for cross-functional topics within EUV Integration, such as cleaning processes and delivery execution. You will monitor material inventories, production progress, and coverage based on relevant KPIs and derive appropriate measures to optimize inventory levels and reduce backlogs.
