Requirements

Education & certifications

Volume Production engineers contribute to EF PE drivers- increase efficiency and quality, decrease cycle time and cost-through measurable improvements such as: Driving DN/MN recurrence down, CT reduction, XLD prevention, Procedure quality up and safe, compliant execution.

Minimum qualifications

BSc/MSc in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, Industrial Engineer, Physics or similar engineering field.
2-5+ years of experience in high‑tech manufacturing, (opto‑)mechatronics, or complex system assembly/test; exposure to cleanroom production is a plus.
Or 3+ years ASML relevant shopfloor experience.

The role

Do you feel energized by supporting a high tech production process on the shopfloor- containing and solving complex issues structurally while improving quality, cycle time, and efficiency? The EUV Factory Production Engineering Volume (PE VOL) department is the driving engine for Continuous Improvement of ASML's EUV Manufacturing and Installs. You'll use your technical depth and problem‑solving skills to keep our state‑of‑the‑art EUV lithography systems flowing, and you'll drive structural improvements to make tomorrow better than today.

EF Production Engineering Volume sets the pace for industrialization and continuous improvement in EUV make & install. We deliver integral solutions that prevent disturbances, secure flawless execution, and embed a continuous improvement culture across all milestones.

Our Mission: We enable EF strategy by continuously improving production processes.

Our Vision: Ownership: We develop a continuous improvement journey to enhance performance (CT, quality, and cost) for each milestone.
Technical Excellence: We deliver technical, non‑design‑related (NDR) solutions at each milestone to support the journey of continuous performance improvement.

What you'll do

Act as the direct counterpart for the shopfloor. Be available on the shopfloor joining daily standups and team up to tackle the challenges at hand. Own shopfloor issues via Daily Follow Up (DFU) process in order to restore flow with robust containments and structural solutions.
Drive continuous improvement-optimize work instructions, sequences and tooling; reduce DN/MN recurrence; and contribute to EF improvement projects using Lean/Agile methodologies.
Collaborate with the program via the milestone project lead to achieve the product roadmap targets on improvements. This includes reviewing design & procedure changes for manufacturability, safeguarding process readiness, and feeding upstream quality issues to D&E via Disturbance Review Board.
Be the counterpart of PE NPI - contribute to deliverable readiness and safeguard a quality KD transfer from NPI towards Volume manufacturing.
Safeguard quality & compliance- Champion in first‑time‑right execution, support MRB/traceability processes, and uphold ESD/Contamination/Safety standards in a cleanroom environment.
Collaborate in competence chapters with First Line Support (FLS), Troubleshoot (TS) and New Product Introduction PE to tackle in depth competence related challenges.

How you'll work

Standard job is office based but cleanroom work at times (gowning required); hands on at the system when needed.

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.

Skills

Structured problem solving (e.g., 5xWhy, Fishbone, 8D) and data‑driven decision making.
Continuous improvement-Lean/Agile habits; standardization and waste reduction.
Manufacturability & process engineering-procedures, sequences, routings, SPC/CT/FPY/ISR basics.
Stakeholder collaboration across Manufacturing, FLS/TS, D&E, and Supply Chain; clear shopfloor communication.
Safety & quality first-adherence to EHS, ESD, cleanliness standards, and documentation discipline.
