The Generic Design Blocks team is part of the Motion Control cluster at ASML. You will work in a group that builds reusable FPGA design modules used across advanced lithography systems. This internship focuses on enabling remote access to FPGA debug interfaces. Your work will help engineers collaborate more efficiently and reduce development time. As part of this internship, you will contribute to a practical solution with real impact on engineering workflows.
In this internship, you will design and implement a system that enables remo FPGA programming and debugging over a network. The goal is to replace physical access with a flexible remote solution that works on multiple operating systems. Your work will support typical FPGA development workflows and improve accessibility for engineers worldwide. Your main responsibilities will be:
Design a solution to access FPGA debug interfaces over Ethernet
Develop a host-side interface compatible with FPGA development software
Implement an embedded server to control FPGA communication signals
Enable reliable data exchange between host system and embedded target
Test the system across Windows and Linux environments
Validate functionality with programming and debug use cases
Document the solution for future reuse and scaling
This is a bachelor/masters thesis/non-thesis internship for 6 months, 5 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026.
To be suitable for the internship, you:
Are studying for a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, embedded systems, or software engineering
Have basic knowledge of FPGA concepts and digital design
Have experience with programming in C, C++, or similar languages
Are analytical and able to solve technical problems independently
Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with others
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.

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.
