Job Description

Introduction

The Source Laser Beam Control team develops the software that measures and controls the high‑power laser used in ASML’s EUV systems. This software ensures accurate laser steering and supports the stability and efficiency of EUV light generation. As a Computer Science intern, you will help improve the long‑term reliability of the team’s model‑driven development approach. You will work in a collaborative environment where specialists share knowledge and solve challenges together. This Computer Science internship gives you a chance to contribute directly to our next‑generation EUV technology.

Your assignment

You will strengthen the structure and maintainability of software used to control laser beam actuators. You will build on an existing model and a model‑based code generator, and you will improve how these components are organized and extended. Your work will support future scalability while ensuring clear separation of concerns in both the model and the generator. Your main responsibilities will be:

  • Analyze the current software architecture and identify improvement opportunities.
  • Review the existing domain model and generator structure.
  • Extend the peripheral meta‑model to support automated code generation.
  • Propose architectural improvements based on Model‑Driven Engineering practices.
  • Update the domain model and generator to reflect your proposed approach.
  • Demonstrate the improved workflow using practical examples.
  • Document your results and share them with the team.

This is a bachelor or masters (thesis) internship for a minimum of 4-6 months, 4-5 days per week (3 days on‑site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026 (earlier possible).

Your profile

To be a perfect match with this internship, you:

  • Are pursuing a bachelors or master’s degree in computer science or a closely related field.
  • Have experience with one or more programming languages such as C++, Python, or shell scripting.
  • Familiarity with model‑driven engineering is an appreciated extra
  • Are analytical and able to structure complex information clearly.
  • Are collaborative and enjoy working with colleagues from different disciplines.
  • Are proactive and interested in understanding how advanced systems operate.

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.

About ASML

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.
