Job Mission Metrology software orchestrates the behavior of powerful mechatronic modules, so that together they achieve an extraordinary combination of speed and accuracy. For example, one such module (a wafer stage), accelerates faster than a fighter jet to enable the ASML machine to position a silicon wafer in less than a second, with nanometer accuracy! As well as using metrology systems to position wafers, ASML also uses metrology systems to measure and compensate for sub-nanometer inaccuracies that inevitably creep in due to material imperfections, temperature fluctuations, and/or atmospheric pressure changes. To achieve such challenging results, the best metrology systems ever imagined are required., Master or PhD in computer science, software engineering, system engineering, or equivalent, o 2-5 years of experience as software engineer (object oriented design) in a multidisciplinary setting o A proven track-record in C/C++, UML, Unix/Linux o MATLAB and Python experience is a plus o Experience with model driven engineering / Modelling is a big added benefit o Experience with Software Architecture/ Modular architecture and a general understanding of how software concepts map to machine behavior o Experience with Software Design Patterns, Gmock/Gtest and Code versioning (Git/SVN) o You have an understanding of mathematical and Physical concepts and translating them to clean software designs o Agile way of working o Requirements engineering o Coping with legacy software Personal skills ASML is a highly dynamic environment, which requires you to be a good communicator, team player, to take initiative and to be result oriented. You are a critical thinker and pay attention to every detail of your work and you leave no room for errors. You express creative and innovative thinking and get energy from pioneering new ground., Master or PhD in computer science, software engineering, system engineering, or equivalent Software Design Engineer for Metrology Application Information, Education Backgrounds: Mechanical Engineering Software Engineering Specialties: Computer Networks Software Architecture Software Design Education Level: Postgraduate (Masters) Doctorate (PH.D) Experience: 2 - 5 years Languages spoken: English Job Location: Veldhoven, Netherlands Keywords: Master, PhD, computer science, software engineering, system engineering, C, C++, UML, UNIX, LINUX, MATLAB, PYTHON, Git, SVN, Gmock, Gtest, Software Design Patterns, Code ## Description Solutions of the Metrology Functional Group are implemented in software by the Metrology Software Department.
