ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world’s leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon. ASML in Wilton CT is seeking an Technical Author to join the CS DUV team. Technical authors are responsible for creating instructions to help users understand complicated technical information easily. The material they write is typically designed to guide and assist users to install/adjust/calibrate/replace an ASML specific piece of technology, a particular gadget or to understand a specific subject. Technical authors need enough knowledge to understand their subject thoroughly, but do not necessarily need to be technical subject matter experts. A good Technical author must always keep in mind the perspective of their readers, who may be not technically proficient, or in many cases, do not speak English as a first language.
