Introduction to the job
We are SICS (Software Infrastructure and Computer Systems), the department that provides the software and hardware platform for our lithography systems – the heart of ASML.

We are more than just software, networking, operating systems or computer systems; therefore our work is more than just design, virtualization or pure infrastructure. Our projects are extremely complex, the risks that we take are high and the outcome is often a technical wonder.

There’s a lot expected from us and we always deliver more than what is expected. We achieve this not just by having a deep comprehension of some of the world’s most complex technical systems, but by being reliable and committed; by eliminating roadblocks and collaborating across departments.

We are at the heart of ASML and our hearts beat Linux!

Since the number of our projects is continuously growing, our department is growing as well. We are looking for people who are as passionate about Linux as we are. We also love Python, virtualization, abstracting operating systems and we love to put it all together and create unique, reliable systems which will enable our internal clients to create state of the art technical solutions.
Are you an experienced engineer with a strong background in developing software and configuring Linux ecosystems?
Do you enjoy creating outstanding solutions in Python?
Are you passionate about virtualization, automation and creating reliable solutions using off the shelf components?
Do you like to customize and configure a Red Hat Linux distribution to bring our application to maximum performance?
Does your heart beat Linux? Apply and let’s talk!
