Introduction to the job 

ASML’s Production Engineer Team in Linkou supports the mature product portfolio—including PAS5500, YieldStar (YS), Reticle Handler (RH), and XT—with over 450 engineers across electrical, software, mechanical, mechatronics and system specialties. 

The team combines the strengths of Development & Engineering (D&E), Manufacturing, and Customer Support to ensure stable factory output, rapid issue resolution, and structural improvements across mature system generations. 

As a Production Engineer (Electrical & Control), you will focus on electrical system behavior, PCB-level diagnostics, electrical cabinet components, signal/power integrity, high-voltage and safety circuits, and motion-related electrical issues that impact system performance.  This role is hands-on, system-oriented, and highly collaborative with D&E to drive structural solutions and prevent repeat failures. 

Role and responsibilities

Electrical System Troubleshooting & Analysis 

• Diagnose electrical issues across PAS5500/YS/RH/XT modules, including electrical cabinets, power distribution, PCB boards, sensor/actuator wiring, and safety circuits. 

• Perform PCB-level diagnostics: schematic reading, signal tracing, component-level fault isolation, protocol checks, and power/signal path verification. 

• Investigate electrical noise, grounding issues, shielding problems, HV behavior, emergency interlock loops, and safety circuit abnormalities.

Motion & Automation Related Electrical Issues 

• Analyze electrical failures in motion subsystems (stage/handler) involving sensor feedback, actuator behavior, wiring inconsistencies, or noise-induced distortion. 

• Interpret motion profiles (position/velocity/acceleration curves) and work with S&C/mechatronics engineers to identify electrical contributions to system failures. 

3rd-Line Engineering & Structural Fixes 

• Collaborate with D&E on deep-dive engineering investigations, structured root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective/structural solutions 

• Define clear technical problem statements and guide investigations after 1st/2nd-line teams have exhausted initial troubleshooting paths. 

• Support ECN implementation and ensure corrective actions eliminate systemic electrical issues. 

Documentation & Diagnostic Improvements 

• Maintain and enhance schematics, cabinet documentation, electrical diagnostic procedures, and troubleshooting guides. 

• Identify diagnostics gaps and propose new test procedures, tools, or workflows to improve electrical problem detection and system reliability. 

• Lead improvements that enhance system stability and production troubleshooting efficiency. 

Required Qualifications 

Education 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in: 

• Electrical Engineering 

• Electronics Engineering 

• Mechatronics / Automation 

• Or related disciplines 

Technical Background 

• 3–5 years in electrical engineering domains, such as: 

• PCB design/debug, electronic circuits, motion-control-related electrical systems, automation machinery, or semiconductor equipment. 

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and perform PCB failure analysis. 

• Knowledge of communication interfaces, signal integrity, grounding, electrical noise, and power distribution. 

• Familiarity with high-voltage safety, interlock circuits, and emergency loop behavior. 

• Understanding of motion control fundamentals and sensor/actuator integration. 

• Strong analytical skills for solving complex electrical/system-level issues

Preferred Qualifications 

• Experience with semiconductor tools, automation machinery, robotics, or precision motion systems. 

• Hands-on experience with electrical cabinet integration, power system design, or safety circuit troubleshooting. 

• Familiarity with signal/power integrity analysis, EMI/grounding mitigation, or motion feedback analysis. 

• Exposure to engineering change processes, structured root cause analysis methods, or reliability improvement projects. 

• Experience designing controlled experiments and interpreting complex diagnostic data. 

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
