AI / Machine Learning graduation internship: Innovation lab

Be part of progress: Join ASML’s Innovation Lab for a Unique AI/ML Master Thesis Internship

Are you a master’s student passionate about artificial intelligence and machine learning—especially Generative AI? Join ASML’s Innovation Lab for a unique internship that blends academic research with real-world industry experience. As an AI/ML Master Thesis Intern, you’ll explore cutting-edge AI solutions while contributing to ASML’s mission of enabling groundbreaking technology.

This internship offers hands-on experience with a real-world use case from the AI Innovation Lab. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and deliver results that matter. Along the way, you’ll participate in agile ceremonies such as standups, reviews, demos, and retrospectives—gaining valuable feedback and staying aligned with the team.

Your main responsibilities are:

• Execute a Generative AI or machine learning project that supports your master’s thesis.
• Collaborate with data scientists, ML engineers, and analytics translators.
• Engage with stakeholders to understand business needs and deliver meaningful outcomes.
• Participate in agile team activities and contribute to a dynamic development process.
• Document your findings and present results to internal stakeholders.

Your profile

• Currently enrolled in a master’s program in data science, mathematics, physics, econometrics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Experience with Azure (a plus).
• Interest in AI and Generative AI technologies.
• Ability to explain complex ideas to non-technical audiences and excellent (English) communication skills, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team.

This is a Thesis/Graduation Internship lasting 6 to 12 months (preferably 9 months or longer), with flexibility to tailor the duration to your thesis requirements. You’ll typically work 2–3 days per week in the office as part of a hybrid setup.

Selected students will need to complete a HireVue assessment within one week in order to be considered for an interview round.

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 perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter should include your willingness to relocate.
• If you are a non-EU citizen studying in the Netherlands, your university must be willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
