The Motion Control department in Veldhoven develops software platforms that support advanced control systems used throughout ASML's lithography machines. These systems help achieve nanometer-level precision and reliable machine performance. In this internship, you will explore how AI-assisted software engineering can support the development of complex software solutions. By combining software architecture analysis, artificial intelligence, and Python development, you will contribute to an innovative prototype with potential future applications within ASML.
During this internship, you will investigate how AI-supported development methods can be used to analyze existing software and accelerate prototype creation. You will will use AI-supported development tools to extract architectural and design rules from the documentation and codebase and consolidate them into persistent, reusable artifacts. These artifacts should describe the scheduler's behavior, responsibilities, interfaces, configuration rules, and hidden assumptions. They will subsequently serve as context for implementing a functional Python-based prototype scheduler.
Your main responsibilities will be:
This is a bachelor or master internship for minimum 6 months, 5 days per week (2-3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of February 2027.
To be suitable for the internship, you:
The internship offers an opportunity to gain hands-on experience with AI-assisted software engineering in a highly innovative environment. Through this internship you will develop valuable technical skills while contributing to real engineering challenges.

Who are we?
ASML is an innovation leader in the global semiconductor industry. We make machines that chipmakers use to mass produce microchips. Founded in 1984 in the Netherlands with just a handful of employees, we’ve now grown to over 40,000 employees, 143 nationalities and more than 60 locations around the world.
What do we do?
We provide chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce patterns on silicon through lithography. Our lithography systems use ultraviolet light to create billions of tiny structures on silicon that together make up a microchip. We push our technology to new limits to enable our customers to create smaller, faster and more powerful chips.
Who are our people?
While you may think that only engineers and mathematicians work at ASML, you'll be surprised to find out that our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Across ASML, we have dedicated teams that manage customer support, communications and media, IT, software development and more. Every team in the company is essential for pushing our technology and the industry forward.
If you love to tackle challenges and innovate in a collaborative, supportive and inclusive environment with all the flexibility and freedom to unleash your full potential, ASML is the place to be.
