Business Analyst Internship: Development of a Robust Staffing Model

Be part of progress: Contribute to Strategic Workforce Planning at ASML

Introduction

The First Line Support (FLS) EXE group plays a crucial role in supporting ASML’s factories and global installations. As the team grows and workload forecasts become more ambitious, strategic workforce planning becomes essential. This internship offers a unique opportunity to contribute directly to that strategy by developing a robust staffing model. The model will help ensure smooth operations across shifts, competences, and geographies, and will be used immediately by the team. You’ll work closely with stakeholders from various layers of the organization, making this a highly applied and visible assignment.
