Job Description:
Job ID: J-00293966IntroductionASML is one of the world's leading
manufacturers of lithography systems that help enable Moore's Law
and the creation of increasingly powerful and capable electronic
devices. Our San Diego-based light source division, Cymer, is
renowned for developing both deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography
light sources and next generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light
sources. As the world's leading semiconductor equipment
manufacturer, ASML enables chipmakers to produce cheaper, speedier
chips - and to produce them faster - thereby enabling all the
technology you use today. The systems we produce integrate several
large and sophisticated machines, themselves each a feat of
engineering innovation, precision, and speed.We are a multinational
company with over 70 locations in 16 countries, headquartered in
Veldhoven, the Netherlands. We have 18 office locations around the
United States including main offices in Wilton, CT, Chandler, AZ,
San Jose, CA and San Diego, CA (EUV laser source creation). We are
currently recruiting for internships located at our office in San
Diego, CA.In the Cymer Light Source (CLS) division in San Diego, we
design and manufacture Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lasers, used directly
in the chipmaking process. Far from a basic "consumer" laser, these
machines are complex, powerful, and flexible. The lasers we make
require: durable and high-speed precise motion-controlled optics to
maintain wavelength to femtometer accuracy under high laser powers;
advanced materials to endure the harsh Fluorine-rich environments
and high powers; clever mechanical designs to allow high
performance and fit all the parts within a confined space, but
still allow easy manufacturing and servicing; very fast high power
electronics and electrical designs to deliver short high voltage
pulses at precise timing to control pulse energy within hundredths
of a percent; gas flows at hurricane speeds to keep the laser
discharge area clear; cutting edge controllers and algorithms to
deliver stable and consistent performance and automate all
operations; and advanced real-time electronics, firmware and
software to control the laser and interact with other equipment.
The laser needs to minimize use of expensive or rare resources like
energy or Neon gas. It needs to actively control temperatures,
pressures, gas concentrations and voltages precisely to maintain
good performance. It must react instantly to changing customer
demands and environmental conditions. And it needs to do all of
this, operating continuously and reliably for months while
producing billions of perfect light pulses, without any human
intervention or downtime.If you have a passion for technology and
innovation you'll want to check us out. Be a part of Cymer / ASML.
Be a part of progress.One Company, One Goal, Limitless Innovation.
