System Electrical Domain Architect

About the role

The System Electrical Domain Architect in San Jose defines and steers system-level, domain-specific architectural direction and acts as the decisive authority when domain performance, risk, and interface conflicts arise between sub-systems. They lead system-level domain architecture topics and apply deep, up-to-date expertise in their domain while maintaining a system-wide overview across functions and modules.

Responsibilities

• Ensures full lifecycle compliance to domain requirements and standards, delivering an optimized and balanced multi-domain architecture decomposed into sub-systems, and safeguarding architectural coherence, robust boundary conditions, domain performance, and domain interfaces across sub-systems within the product(s).
• Delivers system level domain specific SEG documents and provides input for design rules.
• Creates domain specific PBS items and works with SE and D&I teams to optimize work breakdown.
• Coaches technical team on architectural skills.
• Aligns architectural requirements with MDU (domain) architects/technical leads.
• Reviews architectural work for the relevant sub-systems.
• Includes in architecture setup roadmaps and business needs, in alignment with overarching product, sectors and foundation guidelines.
• Identifies required studies in the domain.
• Identifies and mitigates domain risks.
• Gives direction on domain roadmaps and their connection to SE roadmap.
• Escalates architectural risks, conflicts or scope decisions to the Head of Domain Architecture.
• Contributes to Architect Development Programs and Architect Community to develop talent.

Requirements

• BS in engineering or in relevant technical field. MSc or PhD preferred in relevant technical field.
• Extensive experience (typically 10+ years) in defining and realizing an architecture within the relevant Domain.
• Experience in different sub-systems or different business lines, as Domain Architect responsible for a function.
• Proven ability to make sound decisions in ambiguous situations where scale and scope are not fully defined.
• Naturally associated with the domain within a product.
• Widely recognized by others to get technical direction within the product.
• Technical leader with seniority within the domain and high impact on technical domain decision within the product.

Skills

• Technical & functional skills:
  • System-Level Domain Architecture Governance: Defines and steers system-level domain architecture topics and acts as the decisive authority to resolve domain performance, risk, and interface conflicts between sub-systems.
  • End-to-End Domain Requirements & Architecture Delivery: Translates abstract requirements into executable system domain architecture, delivering system-level domain SEG documentation and ensuring full lifecycle compliance to internal/external standards across the product(s).
  • Multi-Domain Sub-System Integration, Roadmaps & Risk Control: Drives an optimized, balanced multi-domain architecture decomposed into sub-systems by aligning roadmaps and business needs with SE/foundation guidelines, reviewing sub-system architecture, identifying required studies, and proactively managing/escalating domain risks, conflicts, and scope decisions.
  • Proven capability to define the end‑to‑end electrical system architecture across subsystems (power, SEM e-beam control, signal, safety, EMC), translating system requirements into robust electrical concepts, design principles and interfaces while ensuring system performance, reliability, safety, compliance, cost target across all subsystems.
  • Strong capability to perform electrical trade‑offs, steer design decisions across modules and functions, and identify and mitigate technical and architectural risks early in the development cycle while being able to balance short-term project needs with long-term roadmap considerations.
  • Act as a quality gatekeeper ensuring robust, cost‑effective, and serviceable system solutions and qualification strategies.
  • Strong knowledge and proven expertise of grounding, shielding, signal and power integrity, and EMI mitigation techniques to ensure compliance with regulatory and ASML internal standards (e.g., NFPA, IEC, SEMI, and CE) and specific customer requirements, including SEC common specifications and customer p-spec compliance.
  • Ability to lead EMC‑aware system design with root‑cause analysis for complex electrical issues across development, industrialization, and field phases.
• Behavioral & leadership skills:
  • Drives Results: The ability to translate strategic and technical goals into clear priorities, execution plans, and measurable outcomes, delivering committed results on time and with the right quality by taking ownership, managing trade-offs, removing obstacles, and sustaining momentum across stakeholders and dependencies.
