I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ASML (Wilton, CT) in Sep 2017
Interview
I got called one day for an impromptu phone interview and I really enjoyed talking to the engineer. He asked basic thought and design questions to see how you think. Then I got scheduled for a second phone interview and this one was way more technical. It was pretty in depth figuring out stresses and best ways to mount and test a cantilever beam. For someone who took the class 4 years ago, it was pretty tough. The reason why I am leaving a negative review is the fact that I went through 2 phone interviews and then radio silence. I tried contacting HR multiple times, but never got a reply. For the number of jobs that they post and the interviews they make you do, I feel like they should at least have the common courtesy of telling you if you were still being considered for the position or not especially when you email them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cantilever beam. What are the reactionary forces and moments with a load on the end? What's the optimal design shape for the beam? In an I-beam, being held up by 2 bolts on the top, what are the shear forces acting on them? etc.
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.

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 Jun 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.
