Material Scientist
Build and operate vacuum & thermal test setup for different project and modules.
Introduction
ASML US 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 in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Wilton, CT, Chandler, AZ, San Jose, CA and San Diego, CA.
Job Mission
ASML is one of the world’s leading manufacturers oflithography systems that help enable Moore’s Law and the creation ofincreasingly powerful and capable electronic devices.
At our San Diego locationwe are renowned for developing both deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography lightsources and next generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. We are a multinational company with over 70 locations in 16 countries,headquartered in Veldhoven, the Netherlands.

Job Description
The EUV source team in San Diego operates in a fast-paced,uniquely innovative and challenging environment to create new-to-industrysolutions with rapid productization to support an aggressive commercializationplan for the EUV technology within ASML.
Material Scientist is responsible fordevelopment, selection, test and qualify materials which are compatible withEUV Technology.
The complexity of EUV source puts exciting and challengingdemands on Material Scientist who will be engaged in all phases of development,failure analysis and integration, all working under extremely challenging dynamic conditions to produce stable EUV light.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Works closely with cross-functional groups to qualify materials, perform life time testing, and improve performance of EUV source components.
Validates concepts through experiments.Independently investigates scientific and technical problems and challenges;
evaluates and recommends solutions.
Build and operate vacuum & thermal test setup for different project and modules.
Qualifies materials, components, and processes for different parts of the EUV source
Applies advanced experimental and analytical skills to define requirements and devise solutions to technical performance matters.
Obtains and analyzes data using materials characterization techniques (such as mechanical testing, including tensile, compressive, torsional, creep, fatigue, toughness and hardness testing;
SEM/EDS; TEM; etc)
Documents work results with system requirements, design specifications, procedures, and training materials.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of clearly explain technical issues and ideas to peers and management.
Education
Requires minimum Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, or related discipline with a minimum of 3.0 GPA.GPAs over 3.5 highly preferred.
Experience
Requires experience with vacuum & thermal systems as well as designing, building, & troubleshooting test setups. Requires a solid conceptual understanding and hands-on experience with a wide variety of modern materials characterization techniques (such as FTIR, UV-Vis, mechanical testing, tribology, SEM,EDS, TEM etc.).
Ability to translate, statistically analyze data, and effectively report problems and solutions through written and/or graphical formats.
Experience with lifetime testing of materials is a plus.
Experience with NX, Solidworks, ProE (3D CAD) system is plus.
Experience with data analysis software such as Excel, JMP, Minitab, Matlab etc. is desired
Excellent English written and verbal communication skills.
Experience with tin, liquid metal corrosion, and metal thin film deposition and etch is a plus
Proficient in MS Office
Applications specifically Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPointCan work effectively under deadlines and in a fast-paced environment.
