Technical Project Manager

The EUV source team in San Diego operates in a fast-paced, uniquely innovative and challenging environment to create new-to-industry solutions with rapid production to support an aggressive commercialization plan for the EUV (Extreme Ultra Violet) technology within ASML.

The Droplet Generation Department is responsible for the development and engineering of the automation and control of the droplet generation process as well as the mechanics and control system that steers the droplet stream to a precis location within the vacuum EUV source vessel. This enables production of EUV light. The complexity of the EUV source puts exciting and challenging demands on the Droplet Generation Project Lead who will be leading all phases of a project within the domain of droplet generation and steering control development and its integration. This involves precision mechanism and metrology, high speed electronics, real-time embedded software, and sophisticated control algorithms and state management logic, all working under extremely challenging dynamic conditions to produce stable and reliable droplets.
