I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ASML (Ames, IA) in Mar 2020
Interview
4 rounds, 1 HR, 2 tech screening, 1 final 6 hr interview with the team. HR asked basic behavioral questions and inquired about my experience with precision design. The 2 tech rounds were simple and mostly focused on solving vibration problems. The final 6 hr interview included a technical presentation and personal 30 minutes session with each engineer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic mechanics questions but practical problem-oriented. Questions on heat transfer and vibration. Questions on jigs and fixturing for high precision assemblies.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ASML (Wilton, CT)
Interview
Extremely technical interview.
Need to have expertise in solid mechanics and tooling design.
Design scenarios asked during interview. Need to come up with innovative solutions.
Final interview involves presentation of a major project. Then individual interview taken by people on the presentation panel.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What all factors would affect transportation of Lithography machines? How would you mitigate them from a mechanical design perpective?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ASML in June 2024
Interview
First, a phone interview with a recruiter, where you're asked mostly behavioral questions and at least 3 technical questions for the role. Afterwards, you get an interview with the engineering managers to ask more indepth questions for the role.
Short over the phone, asked a few specific questions about motor selection for a control arm. Not too much further detail into engineering subjects, more about background and resume experiences.
