introduction to the job

The EXE Systems are built according to a production process where the EXE is split up into multiple Main Modules (modular building), reducing cycle time as Main Modules can be built and qualified in parallel.

Once qualified these Main Modules will be internally transported to a cabin or directly shipped to our customers. In case of shipment to cabins, the Main Module can become part of a Full Functional Machine (FFM/system). This entire system is assembled, tested and qualified before being dismantled and leaving the cleanroom towards our customer.

In case of drop shipment to the customer, the Main Modules will be shipped to our customers after assembly and passing the Factory Acceptance Test. Final Assembly and System  Qualification will then be executed in the field, at the customer site, instead of in Veldhoven.

EXE (EUV Factory) Manufacturing is responsible for the Build, Qualification, De-assembly and Install of the Main Modules and Complete systems. The Qualification department within Manufacturing is responsible for all the qualification milestones of the Main Modules and the Full Functional Machine and reports to the line manager/Team Leader.
