About this vacancy
ASML 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. They 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 clients microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics.
Introduction to the job
ASML is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of semiconductor-chip-making equipment. A majority of the world’s microchips receive their critical lithographic patterning in machines made by ASML. ASML also produces metrology tools and advanced applications to analyze and optimize the performance of the customer production process. You can be a part of the movement that will bring the next generation of chips to the world.
Be a key participant in the development of our distributed data and compute platform infrastructure. Be accurate, be precise and own the specification, design and implementation of security-related features. Onboard, integrate and configure open source or other packages that support the development of semiconductor process tuning applications on the ASML platform.
Be part of this compute platform that is one of the main pillars under the production of the next generation microchips of Apple, Samsung and many others. You will be working in the virtual compute platform (VCP). This platform is developed inside ASML to host compute and analytics applications that aim to improve the yield in the semiconductor factories of their customers.
Job description
You will be working as a Lead Security Designer in the virtual compute platform (VCP). This platform is developed inside ASML to host compute and analytics applications that aim to improve the yield in the semiconductor factories of our customers.
These applications take data from ASML scanners and ASML yieldstar equipment. They combine this data to real time production corrections and scanner process diagnostics. The corrections are sent back to the ASML production equipment. Failure of the platform has high impact. It would mean failure of the customers (TSMC, Apple, Samsung, Intel etc.) production facility.
The platform is currently developed based on DC/OS. In 2023 ASML is completing the migration to Kubernetes for orchestration and CEPH for storage. They develop the platform aspects in their team. Scheduling of resources, containerization, fail-over and data collection from scanner and measurement devices inside the fab. They have an uptime expectation of 4 nine’s. As a true distributed computing and security expert you will have your own view on such a baseline expectation. This might be a nice topic to discuss during an interview.
Installations and upgrades are automated with Ansible. Other technologies you may encounter are Spark for data processing, Kafka for notifications and high volume data ingestion. Hadoop and HBASE are used for data storage (being replaced by CEPH). They are open to your underpinned input on the suitability of stable alternatives for these technologies where these better suit the ASML business case.
