It s the Most Indispensable Machine in the World and It Depends on This Woman – WSJ

BOISE, Idaho Brienna Hall has the most valuable role that you ll never see at the most vital company that you ve never heard of. 

Until she began working at ASML last year, she didn t know the first thing about the company. She also didn t know what she would be doing as a customer-support engineer a fancy mechanic, as she calls herself. 

And she had absolutely no idea that it would be essential to the global economy. 

When she reports for her shift at a chip plant, Hall slips into a bunny suit. She enters a room where the pristine air is 100 times cleaner than a hospital operating room s. Then she makes her way over to an unfathomably complex machine. 

Her job is to know everything about it so that she can fix it. 

I thought I had the coolest job ever, Hall says. I didn t process the fact that this job is necessary for our entire world to exist as it does.
