Senior Test Engineer

Introduction to the job

ASML US brings 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, the Netherlands, and we have three major R&D development centers in San Diego and San Jose CA as well as Wilton CT.

The EUV source team in San Diego operates in a fast-paced, uniquely innovative and challenging environment to create new-to-industry solutions with rapid productization to support an aggressive commercialization plan for the EUV lithography technology within ASML. The complexity of the EUV source makes for exciting and challenging demands on the Software Engineering department manager’s team members. They are engaged in all phases of software development and integration involving sophisticated control algorithms implemented in real-time embedded software executing on multiple high speed computers, all working under extremely challenging dynamic conditions to produce stable EUV light.

Role and responsibilities

• Test Specification

  • Creation and maintenance of test cases in the Domain Test Specification.

  • Creation of test cases in the Delivery Test Specification, resulting from the Test Approach for the Delivery involved.

• Test Approach

  • Create and maintain a Test Approach for the specific deliveries of the project the domain is involved in.

  • Align the Test Approach to the Test Strategy for the domain.

  • Identify the risks for the delivery and the applicable Test Items from the Domain Test Strategy and select test cases from the Domain Test Specification based on this. Risks that are, for example, identified during the review of the delivery / deliveries and related documents (like SIA2 / EPS / EDS).

  • Selects the test cases to be added to the Delivery Test Specification.

  • Identify the test cases that need to become part of the next test level (e.g. System Test during service pack qualification, Field / Beta Test, etc) and communicate this to the SW Lead Tester of that next test level.

• Test Design

  • For the identified risks and Test Items, create test designs that do not exist yet and determine whether these also should be added to the Domain Test Strategy. In case test designs exist, update these when needed.

  • Select the test cases resulting from the test designs that are candidates to be added to the Domain Test Specification and align this with the Domain Test Architect to extend the regression test set for the domain.

• Test Execution

  • Execute test cases related to the delivery (e.g. for integration delivery to QBL, service pack qualification or patch delivery / qualification), as selected / specified in the Delivery Test Approach.

• Test Result Analysis

  • Analyze the results from the test execution and compare them to the requirements. In case of issues, inform SW Lead Tester and raise issue (for appropriate owner).

  • Provide analysis reports to SW Lead Tester as input for the Delivery TAR.

  • Analyzing the issues (patch hits) from both factory and field and providing test solution to catch the issues before release.

• Release deliverables

  • Provide the final TAR for the delivery, using results taken from the TAR / Test Results as provided by the SW Test Engineer and the agreed Test.Approach (Test Approach contains the initial plan for coverage) to create a TAR for the delivery.

  • Prepares and collects Knowledge Transfer documents related to the domain, to be part of the release package.

Education and experience

• Requires Minimum of BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or other related Eng/Science fields.  

• Strong scripting knowledge (python Preferred).

• Identifying the test gaps, documenting them and creating automated script to fix these test gaps.

• Minimum of 5 years in developing and maintaining test approach for complex systems.

• Experience in designing software test strategies for a complex multi-processor distributed control system is a plus.

• Creating test designs and determine whether these should be added to the Domain Test Coverage.

• Creating TAR (to document test results) document and drive through review process.

• Having system engineering experience is preferred.

Skills

• Strong Python scripting knowledge.

• Good understanding of advanced SW test strategies.

• Strong debugging and troubleshooting knowledge/Experience.

• Understanding the product and reviewing the design documents to provide necessary test cases.

• Experience working in embedded software, systems and testing environment.

Pay scales are determined by role, level, location and alignment with market data. Individual pay is determined through interviews and an assessment of several factors that that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and pay relative to other team members.
