Internship - Source Performance (GEM)

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.

This position is on-site in San Diego and interns must be available for 12 weeks in 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

• Should be GEM student only

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