Internship - Source Performance (GEM)

Introduction to the job

ASML brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world's leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States. We are currently recruiting for internships located at our office in San Diego, CA (EUV laser source creation).

As the world's leading semiconductor lithography machine (the machine that makes computer chips) manufacturer, ASML enables chip manufacturers to make cheaper, faster chips, thereby enabling all the technology you use today. The machines we make require high speed, magnetically levitated stages with sub-nanometer accuracy, robotic mask delivery systems, mechatronic devices to shape and correct the laser illumination source, and optical modules that can detect sub-nanometer alignment errors and pattern distortions. Temperature controlled to milli-kelvins, particulate free, and operating in complete vacuum, the technical challenges are endless. Solving these challenges requires expertise in servo controls, mechatronics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, embedded software engineering, optics, physics, manufacturing, industrialization, and more. If you like extreme challenges and want to help bring the next generation of technology to the world, then come join ASML.

Internships are expected to be 12 weeks in length, onsite at the San Diego campus for the summer of 2025.

Role and responsibilities

We are looking for an enthusiastic intern to support the Source Performance team with various activities within the team, from data analysis, modelling, potentially tests execution. To achieve this, the intern will:

• Work in a team environment alongside local experienced engineers on source performance topics

• Perform data analysis, modelling, support with experimental testing when applicable

• Analyze data, review, report and document results and present to the team.

• Additional tasks will be tailored to match the education / experience level of the intern as well as the interns learning objectives for the summer.

• The goal of the internship is for you to learn about working in a corporate setting and to provide hands on experience solving real world problems in a team environment.

• Interns will typically be required to document and present their findings as well as making an end of summer presentation to the group about what they achieved during their internship.

Education and experience

• Must be currently eligible as a GEM program student.

• Current active students in Engineering, Optics, Physics is preferred.

• Knowledge of MS Office applications is required.

• Matlab experience, modelling skills and strong analytical skills, data analysis and formulate hypothesis required.

Skills

• Possess strong ownership characteristics and commitment to achieving results on time.

• Have strong written and oral communicative skills.

• Possess a creative mind in order to find novel design solutions.

• Have as strong problem solving skills and the ability to take initiative with little guidance.

• Be a demonstrated "team player" with a quality orientation and interpersonal skills.

• Be willing to accept feedback from a variety of stakeholders.
