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.
