Facilitate pFMEA, support statistical process control, and maintenance procedures. Proven experience in manufacturing or equivalent roles.
Introduction to the Job: ASML US, LP 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 and San Jose, CA. ASML is the world’s leading provider of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry, manufacturing complex machines that are critical to the production of integrated circuits or microchips. This position is for a Factory Quality Production Engineer with an innovative attitude to work in a Precision High-Tech Manufacturing Environment. Candidate will work with development engineers to implement comprehensive production test that incorporates a high level of performance verification and troubleshooting diagnostics. Roles and Responsibilities Provide detailed support for Statistical Process Control (SPC) parameters and maintenance like Critical to Quality (CTQ) and Critical to Customer (CTC) target setting, monitoring, and offline reviews. Facilitate ongoing and planned Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (pFMEA) reviews and follow-up actions Facilitate Dead-On-Arrival (DOA) investigations along with the DOA process Spends up to 50% of time in the Cleanroom providing direct support to production for quality improvements, data collection and monitoring. Utilize SPC data and analysis reports to drive teams towards structural process improvements and trustworthy SPC data targets. Chair cross-sector SPC review meetings to present and analyze data. Generate and distribute SPC reports for multiple modules on a weekly basis. Work with Engineering and Assembly staff within Optical, Mechanical, Electrical and Software Disciplines to develop Quality Processes, execute Process Requirements, and Implement Best Known Methods (BKMs). Provide input for and utilize quality templates, tools and systems with focus to streamline and automate as much as possible. Provide input for and help to implement setting process targets and goals. Generate action plans for underperforming Key Process Indicators (KPIs) working with teams for structural solutions as required. Work with teams and Business Engineering to develop and improve reporting tools with goals to automate data collection and input as much as possible. Support External and Internal Auditing for International Organization for Standardization (ISO) readiness and Manufacturing Quality among other opportunities. Support Quality Management Meeting reviews and production preparation and planning 6P=P reviews. Support in-production quality issues by assisting Production Assembly and Test Engineers and Technicians with cross-sector communications and historical data and analysis. Review Failure Analysis Reports from customers and suppliers and help validate the root-cause of the failure Interface with internal and external customers with respect to internal process quality. Support the reviews and development of manufacturing procedures and technical work instructions from a quality perspective. Support new product introduction in an existing “Concurrent Engineering” environment. Guide requirements for equipment calibration, preventative maintenance, and new equipment specification and procurement for analytical instruments used in manufacturing. There is a potential for exposure to strong magnetic fields, high voltage and currents in the workplace The employee is required to work in a cleanroom environment: full gowning (full body coveralls, hood, CR safety shoes, face mask, nitrile gloves and safety glasses. Working under ISO 9000/14000 standards). Working around overhead cranes, fork trucks and motorized pallet movers. Working around lasers; working with ladders; working on platforms; and working around chemicals.
