Introduction to the job
Join our Tooling team today! Become a specialist in tooling of high-end machine parts and modules. This delicate job covers everything that is required from the first assembly of the machine in the cleanroom in Veldhoven, all the way to installation, servicing and upgrading our machines at customer plants all over the world.
Role and responsibilities
As a Lead engineer you are responsible for realization of (mechanical) tools, ensuring to meet the specifications in terms of safety, reliability, stability, contamination, cost effectiveness, manufacturability and serviceability. You are working within a (multidisciplinary) projects, steering one or more designers in your team. You interface cross project with Lead Engineers, architects and system engineers.
- Definition of tools for safe, reliable, efficient and cost-effective transport and installation, assembly, service, calibration, etc. of ASML systems and modules
- Technically lead a team of engineers and co-developers to create designs, documentation and hardware
- Translate high level specifications into feasible tooling/action specifications (concept design, choice of existing or new dedicated or universal tools, volume constraints, swap paths, inter modular interfaces, factory layout and constraints, costs, cycle time, hardware need dates)
- Perform and guide risk analysis sessions
- Technically lead farm out development of tools at co-developers and manage changes and refinements in specification as well as working to receive 'first time right' designs
- Prepare and commit to planning for tooling, matching the project needs. End-to-end ownership on tooling design and delivery
- Define and execute qualification tests, verifying the tooling performance compared to the specifications.
Education and experience
- Bachelor or master's degree in mechanical engineering or similar education
- Track record of applying mechanical construction principles, generating new designs and technical concepts.
- Experience with technically leading a team of engineers or co-developers is preferred
- Ability to read, understand and interpret complex English documents, such as legislation and standards
- 3D modeling experience, preferably Siemens NX and TeamCenter
- Mechanics skills: static design forces/strength/stability/kinematic constraints, execute and verify hand calculations and FEM calculations
- Be able to create high level concept designs and find solutions for conflicting requirements
- Skilled in technical, correct and effective communication with suppliers.
