Computer Science | IT internship: building a framework for web-based apps

Be part of progress

ASML’s IT R&D Hardware Engineering department supports the development of highly complex machine components used in Lithography, Metrology, and other tools sold to leading chipmakers worldwide. These machines require nanometer precision, and our IT teams enable this by delivering cutting-edge Engineering Simulation services, including HPC, virtual workplaces, application support, and data analytics. We operate in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment using Agile and SAFe methodologies to meet the demanding needs of our R&D colleagues. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work directly with users and developers to modernize MATLAB-based applications into centralized, cloud-hosted web solutions, helping shape the future of engineering simulation platforms at ASML.

Your assignment

In this internship, you will help transform legacy MATLAB tools into scalable, web-based solutions. You’ll collaborate with users and developers to explore technical possibilities and define migration strategies. Key deliverables include:

• Create an inventory of MATLAB-based applications and identify candidates for web-based conversion
• Engage with users and developers to assess benefits of migrating to a hosted web platform
• Explore alternatives to MATLAB WebApp Server for vendor-agnostic, cost-effective solutions
• Build mock-ups of web-based apps to showcase capabilities and define migration scenarios
• Develop templates for repeatable porting and deployment to cloud-based architecture
• Learn how ASML’s internal frameworks support MATLAB development and how to optimize developer workflows

This is an internship (non-thesis) between 4 to 6 months. It requires an investment of 32-40 hours per week, out of which 2-3 days per week are onsite in Veldhoven. The internship is set to start in February 2026. This vacancy will be closed on 19/11/2025.
