Job Mission​​

You will collaborate closely with the supplier and ASML teams enabling the Introduction, industrialization and ramp-up of new developed parts and modules at our suppliers. These teams focus on Quality, Logistics, Technology, Costs and Sustainability (QLTCS) of complex modules. Teams consist of Supplier Quality Engineer(s), Logistic Supplier Management, Product Lifecycle Coordinators, Development Engineers, Sourcing Leads and Re-use experts. The Sourcing and Procurement Project Manager uses the right expertise and project management skills to ensure the QLTCS roadmap targets are set and met on time before release for volume.

Role and Responsibilities

As a Module Manager, you will make a real difference by driving the end-to-end Introduction and industrialization of new parts and modules in ASML’s products.

Context of this position

You start during the earliest phase of the Product Life Cycle. Based on the supply chain risk we define the complex parts for a new product. You will lead the process to bring one or more of these so-called complex parts towards industrialization. You will have a pivotal role in supply chain design and supplier Selection process. When the supplier has been selected you will start the industrialization process with the supplier. Since the teams develop high tech modules against challenging timeline, most of the time material availability is at risk. We do apply concurrent engineering when creating the design and parts/module manufacturing at the supplier. While doing this you have to make sure you manage the timely industrialization of these complex parts during the execution of the manufacturing process at the supplier.

Examples of QLTCS roadmap targets you secure for the first deliveries, ramp up and volume are:

• Quality: Analyze supplier feedback, Process FMEAs, optimize manufacturing flow (across suppliers), Yield, Material Notifications, Quality-docs.
• Logistic: Supplier cycle time, Move rate at supplier, Flexibility of the move rate, Material availability.
• Technology: Design FMEA’s, Technical issue management at supplier, Completeness design documentation.
• Costs: Cost of Goods and total cost of ownership, Supplier investments.
• Sustainability: Refurbishment/repair capabilities, Re-use of modules/parts
