New Product Industrialization Engineer - Optical

Within the SS&P organization, the Optical/Optomechanical NPI engineer is the primary person responsible for creating an optimal engineering collaboration between our optical suppliers and ASML, starting from early supplier involvement through product design and maturity. As part of the D&E project team, this individual works closely with their suppliers to understand and leverage their technology and processes and integrate these processes into the ASML new product development projects to drive industrialization efforts. The main responsibilities are:

• Early supplier involvement in the D&E project to secure that technology expertise of co-development and supplier are merged in the best way.
• Ensure that part quality, manufacturability and serviceability aspects are covered in the design phase.
• Document the D&E project collaboration, including supplier & co-development responsibilities and roles via a Statement of Work (SoW).
• Support and own new product introduction (NPI) and support early supplier selection and engagement.

Deliverables that secure parts quality from suppliers in the co-development product generation process, such as:

• Acceptance of the design and/or specification of complete & detailed parts qualification process
• Acceptance of qualified parts
• Process flow and Process failure mode effect analysis
• First article inspection
• Business demands will require travel (~20% but could be more during escalation situations and with notice)

Define and maintain supplier interface processes, such as:

• Issue resolution
• Qualification deviation
• Configuration management
• ASML factory disturbances

Contribute to supplier development to improve operational excellence by driving execution of existing agreements, improvement actions, and participation in supplier audits.

The NPI engineer is part of the D&E project team and, therefore, interfaces with SS&P DL, D elivery Team Lead (D TL), design engineers, architects, manufacturing & customer support engineers, logistics, procurement, etc.
