Hands-on Lithography Production Engineer (2nd Shift)

ASML; Wilton (CT); On-site; USD 65,000 - 119,000; Full time

Job summary

ASML in Wilton, CT, is seeking a Lithography Production Engineer to support second-shift lithography and wet etch processes. You will partner with production, development, and cross-functional teams to ensure safe, stable, and high-quality manufacturing of precision glass components.

The role emphasizes problem solving, process control, and continuous improvement, with hands-on work in cleanroom environments and extensive collaboration across engineering and operations.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with contact lithography, mask-less lithography, thick-photoresist processing, MEMS fabrication, micro-optics fabrication, or related pattern-transfer technologies in a production or manufacturing environment.
• Experience supporting wet chemical etch processes in a production or manufacturing environment.
• Understanding of defect reduction, process variation, and contamination-controlled manufacturing environments.
• Ability to communicate clearly and effectively across engineering, operations, and all levels of management to drive alignment and execution.
• Ability to independently analyze data, identify trends, and apply structured problem-solving methods to define root causes and support corrective actions.
• High comfort level working directly with hardware in cleanroom and manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary engineering resource for second-shift lithography and wet etch operations, providing hands-on support to production.
• Lead second-shift engineering execution by advancing experiments, qualifications, process changes, production trials, training and other priorities.
• Assess production issues and make timely technical decisions within established process controls and escalation guidelines.
• Document issues, decisions, actions, risks, and follow-up needs for effective handoffs to first shift.
• Monitor process performance and product quality, identifying trends and opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support operational and improvement objectives.
