Job Details

Overview

Introduction to the job We are looking for software engineers who have a passion for designing and coding software for a distributed control system. Join Cymer/ASML and you will be joining a team that operates in a fast-paced, innovative and challenging environment to create new-to-industry solutions with rapid productization to support an aggressive commercialization plan for the EUV technology within ASML.

You will work with software architects and control system engineers as you develop software in response to software and controls requirements and design documents. You will participate in designing for excellence with focus on reusability, modularity, simplicity, and maintainability. You will use UML to capture your design and may lead projects of small to medium size, where you analyze complex issues, determine the best test methodologies, and contribute in all aspects of the software development, build, test and release cycle. You will collaborate with teams in San Diego, Veldhoven, near-site, off-site and offshore partners as needed.

The control system software supports control loops with data exchange up to 100 kHz and diagnostics data collection up to 1 kHz. It interfaces with quad core boards and platform software on IBM bladecenter. Data is stored on board in Postgres and shipped to data servers in San Diego. Our GUI is built with Qt for a diverse set of users. The system includes a Siemens PLC to ensure safety.
