Reliability Engineer

Introduction to the job

ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring 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, Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices inChandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

• Develop and drive design-for-reliability plan and activities for ASML new products as well as existing products. The hired candidate will be responsible for leading the reliability process on cross-functional project teams that are developing highly complex multi-disciplinary designs.
• This design-for-reliability engineering role includes aspects of systems engineering, engineering architecture, and design engineering.
• Develop system level reliability models and reliability risk assessments. Provide expertise to inform system architecture, concept design, and detailed design level decisions.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary engineers, product architects, and project leaders to define reliability requirements, identify risks based on required system functionality, rank risks, and develop and drive closure of risk mitigation plans. Use influence to ensure sufficient resources are allocated to support reliability plan and activities.
• Use strong technical background to develop requisite product knowledge, in addition to physics-of-failure knowledge, to perform both analytical and empirical based reliability risk assessments and mitigation activities.
• Orchestrate reliability tools/methods, e.g. DFR (Design for Reliability), FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis), and deploy through the whole organization during the development process.
• Responsible for the design, oversight, and execution of reliability/serviceability tests including accelerated life testing, environmental stress screening, HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Test), HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screen), and reliability demonstration testing.
• Research new reliability processes by conducting experiments, identifying methods to demonstrate and predict product reliability.
• Provide input to development schedules related to new or enhanced products.
• Contribute to the definition and development of the vision, strategy and roadmap for deployment of new Tools in Reliability that is applied on completed modules (Mechatronics, Software, Electrical, and Mechanical).
