Operating in a highly regulated global environment, ASML’s R&D community handles sensitive intellectual property, controlled technologies, and cross-border collaborations.
As the R&D Security & Export Control Risk Manager, you play a critical role in ensuring that information security and export compliance risks remain within ASML’s risk appetite. You will identify, assess, and mitigate risks related to ASML’s R&D information assets, sensitive technologies and data flows—while serving as the primary R&D point of contact for topics intersecting Security Risk Management and Export Control (EAR/ITAR, EU Dual Use).
You will collaborate closely with R&D teams, IT, Legal, Export Control, Customer Support, and various global competence centers to ensure that both security requirements and export control obligations are effectively embedded in R&D processes.
This role strengthens ASML’s risk posture by integrating information security and export compliance considerations into R&D operations, architecture, systems, and collaborations. You ensure that R&D activities comply with global export control regulations while maintaining a secure environment for sensitive intellectual property and controlled technology.
You will act as the first point of contact for security risks with an export control dimension, coordinating with the Legal & Compliance Export Control department and R&D leadership as needed.
