Introduction

ASML’s products are critical elements in the semiconductor manufacturing process. ‘System-of-systems’ level testing, also called cross-product testing, is a very important step in the development process of our products and ensures that all ASML products in a customer fabrication plant (customer fab) meet their specifications and reliably work together.

The Virtual Fab is an environment in which cross-product verification is performed using product simulations in customer-like environments for customer-specific use cases.

As a member of the Virtual Fab group, you are a key participant in the cross-product test process and provide important input to the system release decision making process. In this dynamic and exciting position, you are not only working with the latest state-of-the-art solutions from across the complete company, but you also get a good insight in how these solutions are used by our customers.

Mission

It is our team’s mission to ensure that at any moment in time, all ASML products interact reliably in the customer fab ecosystem. We prevent issues from reaching our customers, by doing cross-product integration and verification of customer use cases of ASML products.

Context

The context of this position is the ‘system of systems’, i.e. a customer fab consisting of a network of multiple ASML (and third party) products, such as TWINSCAN wafer scanners, YieldStar metrology systems, e-beam metrology systems and the Litho Computing Platform.

  • ASML’s main product is the TWINSCAN wafer scanner, a complex high precision machine used by our customers in the semiconductor industry to create integrated circuits. The external software interfaces of the TWINSCAN system are extensive and are used by our customer’s automation systems. If there are unintended changes in a new software release, the customer’s production flow will halt, with a negative impact on the customer’s logistics and eventually a lower yield of the customer’s factory.
  • The ASML YieldStar and e-beam products are metrology systems, that allow measurement of on-product overlay and focus, as well as critical dimension.
  • The ASML Litho Computing Platform is a high-availability high-performance machine for running all ASML off-scanner wafer fab applications.

The cross-product testing takes places in the so-called Virtual Fab, a simulated fab automation environment in which these and other ASML products are verified for cross-product issues in an ecosystem of physical and (partially) simulated ASML products, before releasing to the customer.

You work in a growing team, consisting of approximately 15 engineers. You will be member of the Virtual Fab group in the Cross Products department in the Performance & Integration cluster.

As a Scrum Master in the Cross Product Integration ART, you’ll help agile teams thrive in a fast-paced, multicultural environment.

Role and responsibilities

You’ll be the servant leader and coach for two agile teams, guiding them to deliver value and continuously improve. You’ll:

  • Facilitate agile rituals and help teams set and meet realistic sprint goals.
  • Mentor Product Owners and team members on backlog refinement, roadmapping, and SAFe practices.
  • Remove impediments and foster a culture of transparency, collaboration, and accountability.
  • Track team maturity and performance, and signal when support or resources are needed.
  • Collaborate with other Scrum Masters and RTEs to build high-performing teams across the ART.

  • Certified in PSM I/CSM I (PSM II/A-CSM and SA/SASM preferred).
  • Skilled in team facilitation, coaching, and iterative development.

Competenties

Personal skills

  • You are flexible, result driven, have a “make it happen attitude”, are a good communicator and a self-starter.
  • Able to balance transparency with discretion and act as a trusted team resource.
  • You have experience in technically guide and influence other engineers.
  • You are able to think and act on a system-of-systems level of abstraction.
  • You can combine execution pragmatism with a structural process approach.
  • You are explorative, curious and continuously looking for opportunities
  • You can handle a dynamic context with different stakeholders with different demands, planning changes, partial lack of information, etc.

Bedrijfsinformatie

ASML is een Nederlands hightechbedrijf en een van de belangrijkste leveranciers van machines voor de halfgeleiderindustrie, in het bijzonder steppers en scanners, die worden gebruikt bij het maken van chips. Klanten zijn veelal chipproducenten. Het hoofdkantoor en bedrijvencomplex van ASML staat in Veldhoven, waar zowel research and development en assemblage in cleanrooms plaatsvindt. Het bedrijf heeft tevens zestig servicepunten in veertien landen ter ondersteuning van de plaatsing en levering van machines en reserve-onderdelen.

ASML is ontstaan uit een joint venture van ASM International en Koninklijke Philips. ASML levert wereldwijd, maar de meeste van haar klanten zijn gevestigd in Azië. In 2011 werd 66% van de omzet in die regio behaald, 25% in de Verenigde Staten en iets minder dan 9% in Europa. De grootste klant was verantwoordelijk voor een kwart van de totale omzet. De belangrijkste leverancier van ASML is Zeiss, een fabrikant van lenzen en optische componenten. Het aandeel van Zeiss in de totale inkoopkosten van ASML is iets minder dan 30%. Vanwege de grote wederzijdse belangen zijn beide bedrijven een strategisch alliantie aangegaan; deze kan alleen verbroken worden als een van de partijen drie jaar te voren opzegt. ASML geeft veel geld uit aan onderzoek en ontwikkeling;

Uiteraard staat deze vacature open voor iedereen die zich hierin herkent.
