This role ensures hardware registration, monitors configuration gaps against baseline requirements, and drives plans to close those gaps in alignment with integration objectives. The CE secures materials, tools, and resources-including sequences and procedures-to enable engineering changes and collaborates closely with Upgrade Integrators, Configuration Architects, and Proto Integrators to maintain accurate configurations. Additionally, the CE supports engineering, R&D, and manufacturing in testing optical, mechanical, and electrical modules and integrating complex systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain documented "As Built" configuration of prototype systems.
  
• Report configuration status to management, explaining deltas to baseline and plans to close gaps.
  
• Audit "As Supplied," "As Built," and "As Maintained" machines regularly.
  
• Collaborate with System Integration to define test configurations for test plan specifications.
  
• Produce clear, concise documentation in ASML/Cymer-defined formats.
  
• Drive material, tooling, and resource availability for upgrade activities.
  
• Work according to established safety standards inside and outside the cleanroom.
  
• Collect and review inputs for upgrade packages and sequence creation from drawings, specifications, and other sources to ensure configuration quality.
  
• Participate in acceptance testing of designs.
  
• Use company technical documentation, provide feedback for improvement, and assist in creating service documentation.
  
• Interact with cross-functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, logistics, customer support, and management) to build effective relationships across the organization.
  
• Manage stakeholders and holds accountability to configuration deliverables and quality.
