Sr. Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer

Context

Takes full technical ownership, leading several technical complex designs. Contributes to development / change of sub-modules; responsible for results of sub-modules.

Works at Train level. Interfaces with other sectors in complex   environment,   may require negotiation.

Understands the contribution of other domains to the product;   operates   on module level and oversees the relations on function level. Takes   end -to-end view, taking into account impact on other areas (e.g. research, customer, marketing).

Structural troubleshooting capabilities on functional level and manages many technical uncertainties at sub-module level and develops creative solutions to solve uncertainties.   Can take responsibility for customer problems (end-customer/sectors in Operations),   coming up with   solutions for specific issues.   Represents   the competence in   Product   Development Cycle.

Masters   a field and WoW in   own   function. Has visible impact   in   department   or groups in other disciplines. Based on in-depth   expertise   in own module/technical discipline,   finds   solutions that are not obvious   for   others. Looks forward and acts proactively ( e.g.   raising risks).

As a Technical Lead Designer, steers the work of 6-10 engineers.

Designs, develops,   tests   and integrates software for ASML's machines and applications.   Implements   analytics, data,   control   and algorithm applications that give ASML customers the power to reach   optimal   performance during manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Research

Develop and/or deliver a plan for significant aspects of a research program with guidance from senior colleagues.

Evaluate emerging software technologies, frameworks, development tools, and engineering practices relevant to ASML products and platforms.

Design Requirements and Specifications

Plan and coordinate the identification, elicitation of product and/or project requirements; conduct analysis of those requirements for completion and alignment; document and manage requirements throughout the life of the project; and coordinate the verification of the end deliverable. Generally done at the project level.

Define and document software architecture requirements, quality attributes, interface contracts, and non-functional requirements including performance, maintainability, reliability, and extensibility.

Feasibility

Conduct feasibility studies from a technological and organizational perspective and document findings to complete cost-benefit analysis on implementing changes to business processes, products, or business unit structure.

Perform feasibility studies, contribute to the development of product road   maps   and contribute to the SPS/SDS.   Identify   feasibility questions and improvements in   own   domain.

Assess   feasibility   of software architectures, frameworks, technology selections, deployment models, and implementation approaches.

Conceptualization

Design engineering solutions and the associated validation process to enable the realization of a design brief (for example, in terms of functionality, performance and cost) that conforms to organizational and/or regulatory standards.

Develop software concepts, architectural approaches, and engineering strategies that balance functionality, maintainability, scalability, performance, and cost.

Preliminary Design

Develop technical   concept   including material choices. Specify (sub )module   using team input, design architecture, make technical choices in all phases, solve technical issues, devise   new approaches   to problems   encountered , and drive the development of the module.

Prepare high-level design of the (sub-)module   fulfilling   the requirements set while addressing architectural and interface choices. Document the high-level design   in   the relevant SEG documents.

Additionally:

-
Define software architecture and subsystem decomposition.

-
Establish technology selections and architectural direction.

-
Define software interfaces, platform boundaries, and integration approaches.

-
Lead architecture reviews and technical decision-making activities.

Detailed Design

Design engineering solutions and the associated validation   process to   enable the realization of a design brief (for example, in terms of functionality, performance, aesthetics, and cost) that   conforms   to organizational and/or regulatory standards.

Detail out   the design including its documentation.

Additionally:

-
Develop detailed software designs and technical specifications.

-
Design reusable software components, frameworks, services, and APIs.

-
Ensure adherence to architectural standards and engineering best practices.

-
Review software designs produced by other engineers.

Integration

Integrate sub-systems into the system, execute configuration management, and provide support to projects.

Additionally:

-
Lead software integration activities across modules, services, UI components, and hardware interfaces.

-
Manage software dependencies and package versioning strategies.

-
Support build, deployment, installation, and upgrade processes.

-
Resolve architecture, compatibility, and integration issues.

Product Quality / Testing

Perform verification of SDS, verify design specifications from team   members   and contribute to the testing process (TPS, a-test, (sub system) TAR, b-test).

Develop new testing approaches and strategies to meet changing requirements. Focus on a defined range of products,   operations   or both.

Additionally:

-
Drive software quality strategy and test automation.

-
Perform root-cause analysis of complex software defects.

-
Develop debugging and diagnostic approaches for complex systems.

-
Support performance analysis and optimiza
