I am René Vergouwe and I'm an
Integrator in Electrical Engineering at ASML.
I integrate new designs which
consist of hardware or software.
I do that in three stages:
Pre-integration, module integration
and system integration.
I can do that here at our Imaging Electronics Lab,
here in the factory in Veldhoven,
or at customers around the world.
I'm working on a module
that is called the source
which consists of 30 kilowatts of laser power.
We need to make sure that everybody is safe.
And I'm responsible for the safety system.
To build up a laser system of 30
kilowatts is very time consuming.
We need to reduce that time. 
Before we connect it to the rest of the system
we created a simulation rack which
simulates the rest of the machine.
Previously, to operate the
laser in standalone mode
We needed to connect a lot of cables and other devices.
And at this moment we only need to connect three cables.
ASML is a very big company,
but the lines are very short.
If you work in a project you work
with a lot of different people
from software to physics.
From those people you learn
a lot of other disciplines.
This gives me ideas for future career steps.
And that makes it fun to work at ASML.
