Job Description

Introduction

The System Performance DUV is part of Performance & Integration cluster in Development & Engineering department. Our mission is to predict and optimize scanner performance by combining experimental results with simulations based on detailed module data. Within the Imaging competence, we focus on understanding the fundamental principles of our lithographic systems. This includes analyzing how key components — such as aberrations, focus, dose, illumination, dynamics, and more — contribute to imaging performance. We use these insights to build models that predict complete system behavior.

Your Assignment

We are building an automated data‑processing pipeline that converts raw scanner sensor data into performance predictions for imaging. Today this workflow involves multiple extraction and conversion steps that are time‑consuming and not fully standardized. Our goal is to bring all imaging‑related data analysis into a single, robust application for future performance assessments. As an intern, you will:

  • Develop a user-friendly Python-based graphical interface that enables the Imaging team to generate consistent scanner performance predictions.

  • Analyze the associated data and physics, identifying opportunities to improve prediction accuracy.

  • Integrate the tool into a larger internal project, gaining experience with database connections, GitHub workflows, testing setups, and standard modern development practices.

This is a Bachelor/Master internship for around 6 months, working minimum 4 days per week. This internship is not suitable for a thesis. The start date is around August/September.

Your Profile

To be a fit for this assignment, you:

  • Are busy with your bachelor's or master's in Computer Science, Physics, or a related field;

  • Have hands‑on experience with programming (Python is preferred);

  • Enjoy diving deep into technical challenges and understanding system behavior;

  • Have good communication skills in English (verbal and written).

Other requirements you need to meet:

  • You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;

  • Attach your cover letter with a clear motivation why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular;

  • You need to be located in the Netherlands to be perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate.

  • If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).

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.
