ASML is a Dutch-headquartered company that develops and manufactures advanced lithography systems, the machines used by chipmakers to mass produce patterns on silicon. Its products include extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, which are among the most sophisticated pieces of equipment ever built for semiconductor manufacturing. These systems enable the production of smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient microchips.
Founded in 1984, the company has grown to a team of over 40,000 employees. Its technical work spans lithography, hardware, software, and services. ASML operates from 60 locations in 16 countries, giving it a significant global footprint in the semiconductor industry.
The company's US subsidiary, ASML US, LP., supports this worldwide operation. Roles within the organization cover a range of technical and operational domains necessary for developing, manufacturing, and servicing complex capital equipment for the chipmaking industry.
