ASML
Company Overview
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 Chandler, Arizona; San Jose and San Diego, California; Wilton, Connecticut; and Hillsboro, Oregon.
Base Pay Range $106,500.00/yr – $177,500.00/yr
Job Overview We are looking for a software engineer who has a passion for designing and coding software for a distributed control system.
They should also be excited about the opportunity to integrate AI into existing systems and processes to improve efficiency and efficacy.
Join ASML and you will be joining a team that operates in a fast‑paced, uniquely innovative and challenging environment to create world class EUV technology within ASML.
You will work with software and control system engineers in an Agile team as you develop software in response to system requirements and design documents.
You will join in designing for excellence, keeping in mind all the cities and abilities like reusability, modularity, simplicity, maintainability.
In addition you will determine the best test methodologies, and contribute in all aspects of the software development, build, test and release cycle.
In this role, you will partner with software architects and functional engineers to design, test, and deploy innovative software solutions for our global customer base.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge technology in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary environment.
Control System Software Overview The control loops involve data exchange at speeds up to 100 kHz while data collection for diagnostics purposes is done at up to 1 kHz rate.
There is interaction between control loops running on quad‑core boards and platform software that runs on IBM bladecenter.
Data is stored on board in Postgres databases and shipped via the fab network to data servers in San Diego.
Our graphical user interface developed using Qt serves a complex set of users—operators, engineers, scientists and customers.
The control system has a Siemens PLC to ensure both human safety and machine damage prevention.
CPDs are user‑facing applications that allow operators to perform diagnostics and maintenance.
Drivers provide programmatic interfaces for changing physical components of the machine.
Responsibilities
Work in a team of highly skilled software and cross‑functional engineers responsible for delivering software solutions that enable the ever‑increasing miniaturization of semiconductor technology.
Use Agile methodology to develop the software using C++ and Python.
Create designs and implement code that are modular, scalable, robust and meet customer requirements.
Perform unit testing and on‑target testing to ensure the software meets the high‑quality standards our customers expect.
Evaluate technical issues, risks, and dependencies for projects.
Interface with stakeholders to gather a complete understanding of their requirements.
Verify stability, interoperability, portability, security, or scalability of system architecture.
Participate in continuous process improvement activities aimed at ensuring the processes and tools used throughout the software development lifecycle are increasing the team’s ability to develop high‑quality software in the most efficient manner.
Perform other duties as assigned or required.
Education and Experience
Minimum of a BS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related engineering/science fields with solid experience, or equivalent working and thinking level.
3 to 5 years in a technical development role with strong software engineering skills.
2+ years of working C++ experience and/or Python required.
Experience with machine‑learning algorithms and architectures such as CNNs, RNNs, and GANs.

Experience developing CI/CD pipelines incorporating AI/LLM is a plus.
Participated and assisted in the delivery of at least one complex software product working within the context of a team.
Hands‑on experience with refactoring for performance and scalability—complex multi‑processor distributed control system is a plus.
Curious and current on emerging software methodologies.
Skills
Strong C++/Python knowledge, object‑oriented design principles and embedded development.
Understanding NLP techniques for building chatbots, sentiment analysis, and language models is a plus.
Proficiency in AI frameworks and libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, and Hugging Face Transformers is a plus.
Ability to handle aggressive deadlines with agility and results‑driven approach.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to translate, statistically analyze data, and effectively report problems through written and/or graphical formats.
Excellent customer service skills, with an advanced understanding of customer relationship building.
Ability to use MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and electronic e‑mail systems.
Ability to quickly develop and understand complex control systems including embedded real‑time, application layers, CORBA interface and its associated hardware environment.
Ability to independently determine technical solutions, including test documentation.
Technical expert in data management, TCP/IP, and other similar communication protocols.
Applies advanced knowledge of design methodologies.
Demonstrates sophisticated knowledge in utilizing design engineering tools, systems analysis and design, and database management.
Ability to follow a Software Development Process that includes planning, estimation, gathering and analyzing requirements, developing concepts and designs, implementation, developing and executing test plans, and engaging in work product reviews.
Ability to interact effectively with other team members as well as individuals in other disciplines and organizations.
Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients, customers, and the public.
Ability to read, analyze, and interpret general business periodicals, professional journals, technical procedures, or governmental regulations.
Ability to write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals.
Some travel is required.
Physical Demands
Required to sit; walk; talk; hear; use hands to keyboard, finger, handle, and feel; stoop, kneel, crouch, twist, reach, and stretch.
Requires frequent domestic and/or international travel dependent on company needs.
Specific vision abilities required: close vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus.
Environment generally moderate in temperature and noise level.
Must be able to read and interpret data, information, and documents.
Can observe and respond to people and situations and interact with others encountered in the course of work.
Must be able to travel up to 10% of the time based on business needs.
