Principal Architect - Software Build Platforms

Introduction

At ASML we like to make the impossible possible. Our lithography technology – which uses light to print tiny patterns on silicon – is fundamental to mass producing semiconductor chips. With it, the world’s top chipmakers are creating better performing, cheaper chips. In fact, we’re probably a part of the electronic device you’re using right now!

We design and engineer machines that are on the cutting edge of technology. These machines do things like beaming a tiny droplet of tin with a big laser so it turns into plasma and as a consequence emit just the frequency of light that we need. That is requiring complex hardware and of course complex software and software development environments. We are searching for the brightest minds on the planet to help us achieve our mission.

Job Mission

Designing and building complex software requires state of the art software tools. That’s what we do at IT R&D: Using the Scaled Agile Framework way of working to provide a world class Software Development Environment with efficient pipelines for our Embedded Software Engineers. Making sure software can be stored, edited, validated, automatically tested, built and deployed across all our software stacks and machines. Extending and transforming the current environment into a world class environment by continuously innovating and introducing new tools.

The principal Architect Build Systems is responsible for the creating and executing the long term strategy and technical roadmap forward. Converging ClearCase (CCMake), GNU Make, Gradle and Maven Build systems into a Bazel Build platform. Accelerating the Software Development lifecycle of ASML, by designing and improving the remote build execution platform with technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, NIX & NIXOS and BuildBuddy.
