Quality engineer EUV factory

Introduction to the role

An interesting position for a Quality engineer who feels challenged in improving overall product quality, mitigating shopfloor disturbances and driving preventive measures which lead to shorter lead-times, higher production efficiency, cost improvements and a ‘short time to market’ for Production. 

The Quality Engineer supports the NXE-EXE production by preventing disturbances caused by products and product handlings, mitigates shopfloor disturbances by swift containment actions, prevents re-occurrence through Root Cause Analyses and consequently drives the preventive measures to optimize efficiency for the production and so ultimately contributing to our end customer’s satisfaction.

Role and responsibilities

As EF (EUV Factory) ENG (Engineering) QE (Quality Engineer) you mainly focus on handling the MN’s (Material Notifications) after a shopfloor disturbance. From early investigation to embedded preventive measures at suppliers or within our own organization, you drive the improvements from a preventive mindset.  All disturbances that occur during execution have to be analyzed and prioritized, to have a successful follow-up at the right solving party with the right solving and preventive actions. Some issues you can solve yourself, other issues have to be ‘sold’ to other parties where your interpersonal skills come to use.  You can convince others how they can help the factory and you know how to maneuver around in our field of stakeholder's.

You will find your close-by support in our department coming from a.o. PE’s (Production Engineers). The team plays a central role, driving the best possible results, in a dynamic cross-departmental world connecting to D&E, Supply Chain, Production, Logistics and Vendors. Where the talk on Quality is getting louder, you can be a QE delivering it.
