Job Description

All these dedicated Java teams work in unison on different products and platforms across ASML. Their domains are one or more of: (basically here are the different java teams explained in short).

• Creation of software infrastructure using Java EE which provides access to SQL and NoSQL storage, reliably manages job queues with switch-over and fail-over features, periodically collects of information from networked systems in the Fab and offers big-data-like storage and computational capabilities;
• Creation of a solution on-site that continuously monitors all scanners in a customer’s domain. The server can detect (upcoming) system failure and identify what corrective actions are needed;

• Providing industrial automation tasks that take care of unattended complex adjustments to the manufacturing process, to enable highest yields in High Volume Manufacturing;

• Development of algorithms that give our customers the power to reach optimal results during manufacturing;
• Creation of applications that help fine-tune the manufacturing process, helping process engineers navigate the complexities of process set-up through excellent UX design;
• Creation of visualization and analytics applications, for visual performance monitoring and to help dig through huge amounts of data to pinpoint potential issues and solutions. For these applications, we use Spotfire and R as main technologies.

• Selection and management of IT infrastructure that helps us run the software on a multi-blade server with plenty of storage. In this area, we use virtualization technologies, Linux, Python and Splunk next to Java;
• Use emerging technologies to turn vision into reality, e.g. on big data and machine learning;
