About this vacancy
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. In addition ASML produces metrology tools and advanced applications to analyze and optimize the performance of the customer production process.
Be a key participant in the development of our distributed data and compute platform infrastructure. Be accurate, be precise and own the design and implementation of test and qualification automation. 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.
Your task shall be to work as part of this team and focus on (but not only) adding automated tests to qualify changes made by the development team. You are also expected to design and build test automation to evaluate system performance under fail conditions. These automated tests shall run on a regular basis, constantly evaluating system performance.
Second category of test automation deliverables shall drive system stability in production environment. The same knowledge applied to in house test automation can be used to monitor system setup to make sure production system stay within specification.
These applications take data from ASML scanners and ASML yield star 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, Samsung, Intel etc.) production facility.
The platform is currently developed based on DC/OS. In 2023 we are completing the migration to Kubernetes for orchestration and CEPH for storage. We develop the platform aspects in our team. Scheduling of resources, containerization, fail-over and data collection from scanner and measurement devices inside the fab. We have an uptime expectation of 4 nine’s.
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).
We are open to your underpinned input on the suitability of stable alternatives for these technologies where these better suit the ASML business case.
