Make tomorrow today
Semiconductor technology is an essential part of our lives today. Your iPhone, your digital camera, your MP3 player, your car, your passport; they all contain chips. And that’s just today. If you want to know how high tech our lives will be tomorrow, ask ASML; global market leader in chip production systems. Two-thirds of all the chips in the world are already manufactured on ASML machines. Our challenge is to develop machines which can produce even smaller chips even more quickly and more accurately. In short: technology which can further enhance the quality of our high tech lives. Do you want to help with that at the very highest level? Then there is only one employer in the world who matches your ambitions: ASML.
Steep curve
ASML is a relatively young company, which has developed into the global market leader at an unprecedented speed. In the space of twenty years we have grown from nothing into a multinational with more than 50 sites in sixteen countries and annual sales of 2,954 million euro in 2008. We set the international standard with the development of wafer steppers and scan systems which are used for chip production. In order to retain and further expand that leading position we have thousands of technicians exploring the frontiers of (nano)technology every day. That requires people who also constantly explore their own limits and try to push them further. Who consciously opt for the steepest learning curve.
Technological race
ASML works with an almost impossibly short time-to-market, driven by our customers’ competitive market conditions. It is precisely that technological race against the clock that makes working here so utterly fascinating. Cutting-edge technology in the field of precision engineering, dynamics, optics, electronics and information technology all comes together within our company in order to develop systems which are more reliable, faster and more accurate than their predecessors in the shortest possible time.
It is only our very unusual development method whereby a large number of development processes are running in parallel that enables us to constantly meet the very ambitious demands set by the market and ourselves.
Drive to develop
Working at ASML requires a special attitude. An unbridled passion for technology is vital, but not enough. Having commercial insight, team spirit and being result-oriented are all equally important, since what makes ASML successful is the interplay between precision engineering, dynamics, optics, electronics and information technology. But perhaps the most important factor is a drive to develop which is deeply embedded in all our people. ASML invests a great deal in your development. For us that is a given. In return we also expect it of you. Since anyone who is working on creating tomorrow must take his talents seriously today.
