As an electro-mechanical engineer, I was responsible for defining cable assembly design, routing, interfaces, BOM, 2D drawing, 3D model, assembly and testing specifications. I also worked on several electrical box redesigns and a test fixture for reliability testing of a heater. Designed components were subject to high heat and vacuum environment with limited volume. I utilized sheet metal, machined metal and machinable ceramic to develop interfaces and fixtures for cable assemblies. I worked at ASML from 2020 to 2025.
I designed cable assemblies to connect to input devices such as thermocouples and output devices such as coaxial heaters and flow switches. Connectors used were Lemo and Harting. These cables were located in complex volumes and sometimes high temperature environments. To ensure the design was robust and endured a long life, I followed material limitations such as minimum bend radius, max temperature, and insulation thickness. For complex designs with specific constraints, I have worked with vendors in the creation of custom cables.
I developed interface assembles to guide, protect, and park for service components such as wire, potseals and connectors. These came in the form of sheet metal brackets, machined assemblies to hold connectors, feedthroughs, and more.
I worked on two different products EXE and NXE, six sub-system modules, electrical boxes and a heater reliability test fixture. I have developed them from concept to design review to prototype to release for production, including solving manufacturing issues that arise from builds.
