About

I started my master's degree in Sept. 2004, and obtained it in Sept. 2009. I spent the first three years discovering various fields of physics, chemistry and mathematics, and in the last two years, I specialized in device physics, which allowed me to learn more about semiconductor physics, laser physics and electro-optics. In apr. 2010, I started working for the French Directorate for Armament, where I was a field test engineer for electro-optical systems. Since Apr. 2014 I have worked for ASML, first as a integration test engineer (first at operating level then preparation level). In March 2018 I have switched to a design engineering position on reticle-to-wafer alignment.

Experience

  • ASML (Brabantine City Row)
    • Metrology Functional Design Engineer
      Mar 2018 - Present · 8 yrs 5 mos

      As a functional metrology engineer I am in charge of maintaining and improving system setup for wafer-to-reticle alignment on EUV lithography systems.

    • System test engineer
      Apr 2016 - Mar 2018 · 2 yrs

      The current responsibilities in my job are: - preparing the integration of new functionallities on EUV scanner systems to reduce the integration risks as much as possible - supporting the execution of integration steps, participate in issues resolution - ensuring together with technical experts that the specifications are met, and if not, define a plan to make improvements

  • Test Engineer at Yacht Technology
    Apr 2014 - Apr 2016 · 2 yrs 1 mo

    First assignment : proto engineer at ASML. The objectives of my job consist in : - performing tests on cutting-edge lithography, still at a prototype stage - troubleshooting the machine and escalating when issues occur on the system

  • ASML (1 yr 1 mo)
    • Proto engineer
      2014 - 2015 · 1 yr

    • Proto engineer
      2014 - 2015 · 1 yr

  • Field Test Engineer at Direction générale de l'armement
    Apr 2010 - Apr 2014 · 4 yrs 1 mo

    I work as a field test engineer for the French Directorate for Armament (DGA). The most important part of my job is to organize and realize field test campaigns to measure the performances of electro-optical systems to be used by land forces. I then analyze the data collected during the field-testing phase and draw conclusions about the performances, strengths and weaknesses of the tested systems. All this field-testing is prepared in collaboration with other DGA test centers and industrial partners. The systems I mainly work on are : thermal imaging systems, laser imaging systems, visible imaging systems, hyperspectral and multispectral imaging systems, signal processing algorithms The other part of my job consists of developing my department's activities, mainly by purchasing cutting-edge electro-optical equipment in anticipation of new testing needs created by technological developments.

  • Engineering Intern (vacuum techniques) at ULIS
    Mar 2009 - Aug 2009 · 6 mos

    As an engineering intern at ULIS, I was in charge of the development of vacuum quality control methods. The first method I had to set up was a quality control test on finished products by helium bombing. The second method was an in-process mass-spectrometry measurement meant to control to correct proceedings of the process.
