This position is for a highly skilled with innovative attitude and motivated Process Engineer to join ASML Wilton Factory Optical Fabrication team. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in process development, optimization, and sustaining support for optics manufacturing technologies, specifically our CNC processes within the Machining, Grinding, and Polishing work-centers. The candidate will be tasked to increase our CNC programming and automation capabilities. Our focus includes driving yield improvement, reducing scrap, and enhancing overall process efficiency across various polishing and fabrication operations while supporting industrialization of new development processes for production integration.
Job Responsibility:
Champion a safety-first culture by identifying potential hazards, implementing risk mitigation strategies, and ensuring all work adheres to established EHS safety protocols
Drive a quality-driven approach through rigorous process validation, consistent quality metrics monitoring, and zero-defect mindset
Maintain focus on on-time delivery by balancing process improvements with production schedules and customer commitments
Develop, optimize, and sustain optical fabrication processes, including generating, grinding, and high-speed polishing
Set up and operate robotic arms for machining operation (loading/unloading parts), tool changing, and part transfers
Configure machines for autonomous production and active process monitoring
Audit automated processes to ensure consistency and prevent systematic part defects
Create and fine-tune CAM-generated code to optimize feed rates and speeds for maximum automated efficiency
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including production, quality, metrology, and equipment maintenance to resolve technical challenges and implement sustainable solutions
Define process specifications and control limits
utilize statistical analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab) to evaluate process capabilities and drive data-driven decision-making and maintaining 6P=P from feasibility to production-readiness phases
Perform hands-on process trials and support qualification of new equipment, materials, and process changes to enhance production performance
Document and maintain process specifications, work instructions, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to ensure knowledge retention and standardization
Requirements:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Optical, Materials, or related field)
Minimum 5 years of experience in optical fabrication process engineering or a related manufacturing environment
Hands-on experience with optics fabrication techniques, including CNC machining, polishing, and surface inspection
Demonstrated machine operation and CNC programming experience
Solid Modeling Software, NX preferred
CAM Software, Mastercam preferred
CNC Operating Systems – Siemens, Winmax, Fagor, Fanuc
Proficient in statistical process control (SPC), root cause analysis (RCA), and lean manufacturing tools
Familiarity with metrology techniques and quality assurance in optics manufacturing
Proficiency in data analysis tools such as JMP, Minitab, or equivalent software
Demonstrated ability to lead problem-solving initiatives and implement process improvements
Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with ability to work effectively across different departments
Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results under tight deadlines
Candidates must be legally authorized to work in USA
