Working in Customer Support
Frontline customer support engineers are dedicated to a specific customer fab, while others travel globally to support system-down escalations, installation or relocation of machines, and more.
As a customer support engineer, you can work in new product introduction, high-volume manufacturing, applications (focusing on our metrology & inspection products) or central services (providing training, process development, and new tooling for customer support employees worldwide).
Refurbished systems is another area you can develop into as a customer support engineer. Almost every single ASML lithography system sold is still in use at a customer fab. Engineers working on refurbished systems ‘run their own shop’, supporting our legacy equipment portfolio for startups and Fortune 100 companies alike.
Customer Support at ASML
ASML has more than 4,000 extremely complex machines in customer fabs (fabrication plants) around the globe. A machine that’s ‘down’ can cost customers thousands of dollars per minute, so our Customer Support team of more than 6,000 engineers worldwide works hard to keep them running 24/7, 365 days a year.
Field application engineering in Customer Support
Field application engineers are critical to implementing solutions that help our customers to maximize production.
At ASML, support engineers are dedicated to one of our three product lines: EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography, DUV (deep ultraviolet) lithography, and 'Applications' (metrology & inspection systems). Our metrology & inspection product portfolio, together with our computational lithography and patterning control software solutions, helps chipmakers achieve the highest yield and best performance in mass production.
Applications customer support engineers work closely with customers, as well as with ASML R&D and Sales departments.
