Computer Science | IT internship: MATLAB web framework development and implementation

Be part of progress: Join ASML’s IT R&D Hardware Engineering Department

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 MATLAB users and developers to define and implement a standardized application framework that improves efficiency and scalability across ASML.

Your assignment

In this internship, you will help shape the future of MATLAB application development at ASML. You’ll collaborate with engineers and researchers to design a layout manager that supports professional application building within a standardized framework.

Key deliverables include:

• Investigate current (open-source) layout manager solutions for MATLAB applications
• Engage with MATLAB developers to understand their needs and current workflows
• Translate user requirements into a generic, reusable layout manager component
• Promote adoption of the new framework by motivating users to change their development approach
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including system admins, software developers, and backend engineers

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. It is set to start in February 2026.

Your profile

To be a perfect fit for this assignment, you:

• Are enrolled in a bachelor program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Have experience with Object Oriented Programming
• Have experience in building (web) applications in Java, JavaScript, MATLAB or Python
• Are willing to learn MATLAB
• Are a strong communicator with an interest in user interaction and technical translation
