You will play a key role in defining technical direction, driving engineering excellence, and mentoring fellow engineers while contributing to the continued advancement of ASML technology.

Role and responsibilities

• Lead the development, integration, qualification, and industrialization of technically complex mechatronic and control system solutions within a module or submodule.
• Own the technical execution of complex mono-disciplinary and functional designs, ensuring performance, quality, manufacturability, reliability, and delivery objectives are achieved.
• Translate product and project requirements into robust engineering solutions, including feasibility studies, concept development, architecture definition, detailed design, verification, and validation.
• Identify technical risks, evaluate design alternatives, and drive resolution of complex engineering challenges throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines, MDUs, suppliers, architects, system engineers, and project stakeholders to realize integrated customer solutions.
• Maintain subsystem and system-level awareness to ensure alignment of designs with architectural requirements, interfaces, and overall product performance objectives.
• Drive verification, validation, integration, qualification, and performance testing activities, including the development of associated test methods and tools.
• Support project planning activities through work package definition, effort estimation, performance budgeting, dependency management, and risk assessment.
• Introduce and champion innovative technical approaches, engineering methodologies, and continuous improvement initiatives within the area of expertise.
• Document technical decisions, design specifications, analyses, assumptions, and test results to ensure complete and maintainable engineering documentation.
• Provide technical leadership, mentor and guide engineers, perform technical reviews, and contribute to competency development within the organization.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to Delivery Team Leaders, System Engineers, Architects, and management on matters within the area of expertise.
• Participate in technical communities and knowledge-sharing initiatives to strengthen engineering capability across the organization.
• Ensure compliance with ASML quality, safety, and engineering standards while promoting safe working practices across projects and teams.

Education and experience

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Minimum 4 years of relevant work experience, 5 years preferred.
• Extensive experience developing complex engineering systems with demonstrated technical leadership responsibilities.
• Proven ability to technically lead development activities and influence engineering decisions across projects and disciplines.
• Experience working with cross-functional development teams, suppliers, and stakeholders throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Experience in system integration, product qualification, and industrialization of complex engineering solutions.

Skills

• Strong expertise in precision mechatronics, motion control systems, and performance-critical subsystem design.
• Deep understanding of control theory, including feedback/feedforward control, stability analysis, disturbance rejection, system identification, and performance optimization.
• Proven ability to own technically complex designs from requirements definition through concept development, detailed design, integration, qualification, and industrialization.
• Experience developing and validating dynamic system models using MATLAB/Simulink or similar engineering tools.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to identify root causes, evaluate technical trade-offs, and resolve complex system-level issues.
• Broad understanding of system architecture, interface management, requirements engineering, and subsystem interactions within multidisciplinary products.
• Experience with verification, validation, qualification, and performance testing of complex mechatronic systems.
• Demonstrated ability to decompose system requirements into subsystem budgets and translate performance objectives into robust engineering solutions.
• Proven technical leadership skills, including mentoring engineers, leading design reviews, influencing technical decisions, and driving cross-functional collaboration.
• Strong communication and technical documentation skills, with the ability to effectively engage architects, system engineers, suppliers, project leaders, and management.
