R&D Export Control Solution Lead (Hardware)

Introduction to the job

As an R&D Export Control Solution Lead (Hardware), you help ensure that ASML’s most advanced hardware innovations comply with global export-control regulations from the earliest stages of development. You translate complex regulatory expectations into practical requirements, processes and solution directions that enable engineers to innovate responsibly and securely. Your work strengthens ASML’s long-term export-control maturity within R&D’s hardware development.

Role and responsibilities

In this role, you shape how export-control requirements are embedded across hardware engineering, product development and information flows. You provide guidance on solution approaches, define guardrails and help teams make informed decisions. You connect regulatory rules with real-world technical and operational needs, enabling R&D to work confidently within compliant boundaries.

Key responsibilities include:

• Translate export-control regulations into clear process, data and functional requirements for hardware R&D.
• Define and maintain the governance structures and solution guardrails needed for compliant product development.
• Support the development of the target operating model and compliance-by-design principles for hardware teams.
• Review solution proposals, challenge design decisions where needed and ensure alignment with regulatory expectations.
• Provide guidance on document management, secure data sharing and controlled information handling.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineering teams to integrate export-control requirements into design choices and development workflows.
• Contribute to risk assessments, control design and the continuous improvement of the export-control governance framework.

Education and experience

You bring a strong foundation in regulated technology environments and the ability to convert complex rules into practical, scalable solutions.

Your background includes:

• A master’s degree in engineering, information management, business administration, compliance or a related field.
• At least five years of experience in process design, information management, compliance, solution governance or similar roles.
• Experience translating regulations such as U.S. EAR or EU Dual-Use into system, process or functional requirements.
• Exposure to complex hardware or product-development environments.
• Experience with Product Lifecycle Management tools such as Siemens Teamcenter.
• Familiarity with Agile ways of working is a plus.

Skills

To thrive in this job, you’ll need the following skills:

• Bringing structure to complex topics and defining clear solution direction and governance.
• Communicating clearly with engineering, IT, legal and compliance stakeholders.
• Accurately analyzing processes, data flows and control points.
• Building alignment across diverse stakeholder groups.
• Constructively challenging assumptions and guiding decisions.
• Handling sensitive or controlled information with discretion.
• Translating conceptual ideas into practical, implementable requirements.
