Current employer & actual function description (from 1 October 2018 – now):
Name: ASML (www.asml.com)
Employment Roles:
November 2023 - now: Group Team Lead:
- I transitioned from my former Function Architect (FA) role - specific to the EXE / High-NA EUV platform - to Group Team Lead for the subsystem architects (for both NXE and EXE platforms) in the same group.
- A particularly important aspect of my role is to enable the required professionalization of the group to allow the execution of the technical/functional roadmap that is linked to the foreseen expansion of ASML in the coming decade.
March 2020 - now : Senior Architect:
Function Architect (FA) FC-057 Overall Infra EXE:5X00 (High-NA EUV):
- Responsible for the Scanner architecture (EX:5000 and beyond) regarding its "ïnfrastructure". This is the technology needed to get to the required levels of cleanliness and thermal stability for in-spec chip wafer illumination/lithography. These levels are realized by a design that conditions the scanner using the carefully controlled supply of all kinds of fluids (gases, liquids of all types) to the various modules in the scanner. The required control architecture concepts (implemented using sensors/actuators and of course software) are covered as well.
- Risk identification & management,
- Compliance management,
- Dealing with learning and improvement opportunities (technical, process, establishment of Community of Practice),
- Competence management for the team of function/subsystem architects
