Additional Information

Introduction to the job The Manufacturing - Technical Support Senior Competency Engineer ( Optics) plays a critical technical leadership role within YieldStar ( YS) manufacturing operations in Linkou , with a primary focus on optical systems, optical modules, and optical sensing behavior. This role serves as the key technical authority for optics-related system behavior, troubleshooting strategy, and technical decision-making across mature ASML product portfolios, including YieldStar , PAS5500, Reticle Handler ( RH) , and XT. The position focuses on system-level optical performance, optical sensing, calibration robustness, optical alignment sensitivity, and optical module behavior that directly impact factory output, quality, and delivery performance. Acting as a technical control tower, this role integrates inputs from Development & Engineering ( D& E) , Manufacturing , and Technical Support teams to drive structured problem-solving, manage high-impact and recurring disturbances, and deliver clear, management-ready technical conclusions. This role does not manage direct reports, but carries strong technical ownership, influence, and decision responsibility in complex, cross-functional, and escalation-driven environments. Role and responsibilities Technical Leadership & Optics-Focused System Decision-Making Lead optics-related technical assessments during daily passdown, DRB (Disturbance Review Board), and escalation meetings. Serve as the technical decision owner for complex optics-related issues, including imaging behavior, illumination stability, sensor accuracy, and calibration performance. Consolidate technical findings, risks, and recommendations into clear conclusions to support management alignment and operational prioritization. Issue Ownership & Troubleshooting Management Own high-impact, recurring, and long-duration optics-related disturbances across YieldStar manufacturing lines. Coordinate cross-functional resources including D& E ( Optics, Mechatronics, Software & Control) , Manufacturing Engineering, Technical Support Engineers, and Production Engineers. Identify escalation triggers, risk exposure, and containment actions to minimize machine downtime and prevent issue recurrence. Structural Analysis & BKM Deployment ( Optics) Perform structural analysis to i dentify systemic gaps in optical design, calibration methods, diagnostics, or manufacturing execution. Drive the development, validation, and deployment of Best-Known Methods ( BKM) related to optical alignment, calibration, sensing, and diagnostics across product lines. E nsure optics-related improvements are standardized and sustainably implemented. Technical Coaching & Competence Development Provide technical guidance and coaching on optics-related troubleshooting methodology and system-level behavior understanding. Act as a technical reference for optics topics, supporting peers and management teams in complex decision scenarios. Strengthen cross-line optics competence through knowledge sharing and structured problem-solving practices. Operational Alignment & Technical Communication Deliver concise, management-ready technical reports, escalation packages, and decision summaries focused on optics-related risks and impacts. Represent manufacturing optics expertise in English-based escalation and alignment meetings with global stakeholders. Ensure transparent, professional communication across production, engineering, and support organizations. Cross-Line Integration & Factory Target Support Leverage optics insights from YieldStar manufacturing lines to prevent repeated disturbances across systems and factories. Respond rapidly to customer feedback, quality notifications, and urgent optics-related production issues . Ensure all technical decisions align with factory strategy, quality standards, and long-term system robustness. Required Qualifications Education Bachelor's degree or above in Engineering, with strong relevance to: Optics / Optical Engineering Applied Physics (optics-focused) Photonics / Electro-Optical Engineering Electrical Engineering with strong optics exposure
