Overview
Introduction to the job
Data science is a broad and a demanding domain, and typically data scientists come from different background than software engineers. Most of the time, a data scientist is more focused on translating the business problem to a data science problem, and has less bandwidth to focus on all other aspects required to productize the machine learning model. As you can imagine, productizing a machine learning model comes with its own challenges like efficient coding, automation, monitoring, and scaling. This is where you come in. As a machine learning engineer at ASML, you will write efficient code to implement complex machine learning models and nurture them towards production to support the operation of the most complex lithography machines in the world.
You will be working in a multi-disciplinary team of data scientists, functional experts, data engineers, machine learning engineers, physicists, computer scientists, and IT engineers to build, deploy and maintain… scalable Machine Learning pipelines on various Big Data platforms. The team has been developing powerful predictive and diagnostic software tools that are aiming to uncover causal relationships between complex lithography equipment parameters and system performance. In addition, the team is engaging on predictive solutions for condition-based maintenance and equipment health monitoring.
This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
