IT - EPS Platform Architect

Company profile

Service actions executed on ASML machines on customer sites often require evaluation of machine data on an external server. This server must be present in the customer network. For the next generation and mass rollout of this server to customers worldwide a new hardware platform has been selected. The Equipment Performance Server (EPS) will communicate with scanners and other ASML equipment and with the central office of ASML.

Job description

The project aims to replace a very basic 2.3 version by version 3.0 which is a fundamental architecture and definition change. The 3.0 server is to become THE platform to distribute and execute machine analysis tooling to customer support. The tools deployed on the server will realize a significant tool (scanner) availability improvement. The hardware and middleware solution for EPS3 will be based on re-use of an existing platform designed in another product group at ASML as much as possible / efficient.

Job Description

• Design constraints for applications running on EPS3 platform (application layer).

• Architecture for (re-use of) software facility layers for applications running on the EPS3, including data management rules and data structure definitions enabling data sharing between applications.

• Architecture and design of data synchronization mechanisms EPS3  Veldhoven central archive

• Architecture, design and guidelines for data collection schemes that enable efficient, non-redundant data download from monitored equipment.

• When needed: cross platform (EPS3, LCP, others) to prevent duplicate data collection from equipment.

• Alignment needed with equipment architects to come to non-invasive data collection schemes from the equipment.

• Security guidelines and design for EPS3

• Ensure ASML only access

• Guarantee customer data security

• Virtualization of software stack, define the need for Virtual Machines, content per VM and their interfaces.
