Introduction

ASML brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers – the world’s leading chipmakers – to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.

Our headquarters are located in the heart of the Eindhoven region, also known as ‘Brainport’, Europe’s top tech hub.

The growing complexity of our machines and our aim to deliver higher quality faster, is creating a lot of focus on the area of Engineering Simulation at ASML. In our department of IT Product and technology (IT P&T) we are looking for an experienced HPC and Cloud engineer that is challenged by driving Engineering Improvements and is able to translate this to into an operational environment for data engineering, data science and numerical simulation.

Job Mission

Co-Develop, implement, deploy and maintain the HPC/HPDA (Data analytics) stack at ASML in close co-operation with the internal customer and the HPC/HPDA team. This job is focused on elevating the HPDA stacks (worldwide) to a higher level of automation, introducing cloud technologies in the stack and expanding the HPDA platform towards the cloud.

Job Description

As HPC/HPDA engineer you will maintain the HPC/HPDA cluster and its components. You will work within a DevOps team together with the other system engineers and application benchmark specialists to:

• Implement new features/technologies and optimize the current HPDA setup;
• Identify usability bottlenecks and drive the architectural evolution of the system to maximize application manageability and performance;
• Make the automation pipelines available to the rest of the team and integrate them with the current way of working.

Your main focus area will be on automation, introducing cloud technologies in the stack and expanding the HPDA platform towards the cloud.

Besides this your responsibilities include:

• Define improvement proposals that focus on usability and stability of the setup;
• Implement such proposals;
• Keep abreast with relevant literature, means and methods.

Context of the position

At ASML we invent, develop and manufacture world-leading high tech lithography machines for our chip making customers. These tailor-made machines can image billions of structures in a few seconds with an accuracy of a few silicon atoms. As part of the product development of these complex machines, virtual physics simulation is used to validate the design against certain sets of requirements before moving into physical prototyping and production.

The IT division supports information management, infrastructure and key business processes across ASML. The IT

infrastructure, hardware and applications are absolutely mission-critical for almost all ASML’s internal and external activities.

A department within the IT organization is IT Product and Technology (IT P&T); this department is responsible for the engineering infrastructure services and applications/tooling for ASML’s Research and Development & Engineering (D&E) organizations. We ensure that these services are running in an optimal way and we look at innovating the services. We also support the IT applications that are used at ASML.

IT P&T supports multiple development disciplines such as: mechanical, optical, electrical and software engineering. The HPC and cloud engineer we are looking for will be part of the HPDA team which provides these disciplines with a High performing environment to perform virtual simulations and Data analytics work. You will report to the Group Leader for Engineering Simulation ART of IT P&T – Hardware department.
