Job description

As a Motion LAB Production Engineer, you bridge the gap between initial design concepts and high-volume manufacturing. Operating within the ASML Motion LAB, you will design, maintain, and optimize production processes for complex linear actuators used in our state-of-the-art lithography systems (XT, NXT, NXE, and EXE).

In this hands-on role, you validate new products, process changes, and tooling in a controlled lab environment before floor rollout, ensuring flawless manufacturability and minimal production risk.

• Process Design: Define work instructions, process flowcharts, tooling requirements, and parameters for complex mechatronic assembly.

• 2nd Line Support: Act as the technical escalation point for shop floor disturbances that 1st line support cannot resolve.

• Failure Analysis: Lead root-cause investigations on non-conforming products and quality complaints to prevent recurrence.

• NPI & R&D Interface: Collaborate with Development & Engineering (D&E) during pilot phases to feed manufacturability insights back into early product design.

• Continuous Improvement: Apply Lean, 6P, and quality frameworks (FMEA, SPC) to stabilize processes and boost yield.

• Mentorship: Coach shop floor operators and junior engineers on updated protocols and technical standards.

Functie-eisen

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or Industrial Engineering.

• Experience: 3-5+ years in a technical production or manufacturing engineering role within a high-tech environment.

• Domain Expertise: Hands-on experience with high-precision mechatronics, linear actuators, or precision tooling.

• Quality Methodologies: Practical knowledge of FMEA, SPC, and root-cause failure analysis tools.

• Environment: Experience with semi-automated assembly lines and NPI (New Product Introduction) process hand-offs.

Competenties

• Communication: Excellent command of English; strong cross-functional communicator across R&D, Logistics, and Operations.

• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical capability paired with a practical, hands-on shop-floor attitude.

• Quality & Safety Focus: Uncompromising commitment to precision, process robustness, and safety protocols.

• Organization: Solid planning capabilities with the drive to coordinate priorities and mentor junior team members.
