As a Mechanical Architect, you will provide technical leadership to a team of 3-10 engineers and/or co-developers responsible for the development of portions of the lithography system and/or associated tooling. You will work on sub-systems involving robotics, mechatronics, precision mechanics and/or opto-mechanics. You will need to consider kinematics, dynamics, material properties and structural, dynamic and thermal analysis.

Role and Responsibilities

You will be responsible for understanding the functional requirements and deriving specifications. You will provide the technical leadership and engineering foundation to produce high quality mechanical product designs that meet module-level mechanical specifications and volume constraints, negotiated as needed with the Functional Cluster or Module Architect. You will ensure the design is optimized for trouble-free product life-cycle within the ASML design release, procurement, manufacturing, transportation, operation and customer service environments and is achievable within schedule and cost constraints, negotiated as needed with the Project Leader. This position requires teamwork and collaboration on-site with other Architects, Team Leads, Project Leads, Design Engineers and project team members.

As a Mechanical Engineering Architect, you will:

• Have mechanical design experience with kinematics, dynamics, material properties and behavior and structural analysis
• Develop precision systems that can perform reliably at customer sites
• Possess solid working knowledge of mechanical analytical techniques such as "first principle" engineering equations and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) (e.g. stress, strain, deformation, modal response, etc.)
• Perform structural, thermal, fluid and dynamics fundamentals and calculations
• Utilize software/technical tools (e.g. CAD modeling, FEM, mathematical tools, etc.)
• Derive conclusions from analysis and make practical recommendations
• Negotiate system-level requirements and derive sub-system requirements
• Optimize designs for Cost, Reliability, Assembly, Manufacturability, Serviceability and Safety
• Have strong technical writing, communication and presentation skills with a capability for mentoring, coaching and negotiation
• Some travel (up to 10%) within the US and internationally can be expected

Education and Experience

To help us tackle the technical challenges we face, you will need experience working on high-tech products and with complex processes.

As a Mechanical Engineering Architect, you will need:

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or other engineering, math or science degree
• 2+ years of experience with complex or precision mechanical design or equivalent experience
• Ability to communicate effectively in the English language both written and oral
• Strong background in mechanical design and engineering, including taking responsibility of the full "art to part" development cycle
• A background in mechanical design of mechatronics, precision design or complex optical systems is desirable
• Good complex mechanical system intuition

Skills

Working at the cutting edge of tech, you will always have new challenges and new problems to solve - and working together is the only way do that. You will not work in a silo. Instead, you will be part of a creative, dynamic work environment where you will collaborate with supportive colleagues. There is always space for creative and unique points of view. You will have the flexibility and trust to choose how best to tackle tasks and solve problems.

To thrive in this job, you will need the following skills:

• Can observe and respond to people and situations and interact with others encountered in the course of work
• Can learn and apply new information or skills
• Must be able to read and interpret data, information and documents
• Strong customer focus and commitment to customer satisfaction through prioritization, quality, efficiency and professionalism
• Ability to complete assignments with attention to detail and high degree of accuracy
• Proven ability to perform effectively in a demanding environment with changing workloads
• Result driven-demonstrate ownership and accountability
• Identifies bottlenecks and drives improvements
• Work independently or as part of a team and follow through on assignments with minimal supervision
• Demonstrate open, clear, concise and professional communication
• Ability to establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with co-workers and customer
• Work according to a strict set of procedures within the provided timelines

Other Information

• This position is located on-site in Wilton, Connecticut. It requires onsite presence to attend in-person work-related events, trainings and meetings and to further ensure teamwork, collaboration and innovation
• A flexible workplace arrangement may be available to employees working in roles conducive to remote work (up to 2 days a week)
