What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Engineer position at ASML USA?
Introduction to the job
As an electrical engineer at ASML in Wilton, you will help develop the technologies that make advanced lithography systems possible. You will specify, design, develop, realize, integrate and test electrical and electro-mechanical modules and tools in close collaboration with cross-functional engineering partners, suppliers and stakeholders.
This role supports both new product introductions and existing product support, including component engineering, end-of-life solutions and customer-facing escalations. Scope and accountability increase by job grade, from executing defined engineering work to leading complex technical scope, driving roadmap direction and steering cross-functional technical delivery.
Role and responsibilities
In this role, you will deliver electrical engineering solutions that meet system specifications, cost targets, quality expectations and project schedules. Depending on job grade, you may execute defined work packages, own complex module-level scope, guide other engineers or lead technical direction across modules and platforms.
Scope highlight
JG07
Leads complex technical design work within a discipline or owns a module-level area requiring contributions from multiple engineers. Works autonomously on complex tasks, balances quality with timely delivery and interfaces with suppliers or customers as part of a broader team.
JG08
Takes the lead in developing complex parts of modules with full technical ownership. Considers industrialization and cross-team impacts, collaborates across multiple teams and may guide a small group of peers through technical execution.
JG09
Owns multiple complex designs end-to-end, with a broader view of system impacts and cross-functional dependencies. Drives solutions through significant technical uncertainty and oversees functional relationships across domains.
Education and experience
To help ASML solve complex engineering challenges, candidates should bring a technical background in a relevant electrical, electro-mechanical or related engineering field. The minimum experience expectation increases by job grade.
Working at the cutting edge of technology, you will face new challenges and solve complex problems through collaboration. To thrive in this role, you should be able to work in a dynamic engineering environment, communicate clearly and take ownership for technical outcomes.
