Job Description

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.

Job Responsibility

  • 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
  • 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
  • Perform structural analysis to identify 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
  • Ensure optics-related improvements are standardized and sustainably implemented
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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

Requirements

  • 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
  • 5~8+ years of experience in semiconductor, electronics, or precision equipment industries
  • Strong background in one or more of the following optics-related domains: Optical module integration, alignment, or calibration, Optical sensing, imaging systems, illumination paths, or interferometric principles, Troubleshooting optics-related system behavior in production or development environments
  • Experience acting as a technical focal point, project lead, or senior technical contributor responsible for cross-team alignment and technical decision-making
  • Strong system-level understanding of optical behavior and its interaction with mechanical, electrical, and control systems
  • Proven ability to structure complex problems, assess risk, and drive technical decisions under production pressure
  • Excellent English communication skills for escalation meetings, technical reporting, and stakeholder alignment
  • Data-driven mindset with experience analyzing production or system data (specific tools not mandatory)
  • Proactive, ownership-driven, detail-oriented, open-minded, with strong logical reasoning capability

Nice to have

  • Experience with YieldStar, PAS5500, Reticle Handler, XT, or similar semiconductor equipment platforms
  • Background in D&E optics roles or experience bridging R&D and manufacturing environments
  • Familiarity with optical calibration methods, sensor characterization, or optical diagnostic workflows
