Mechanical Engineering internship: reliability and sustainability tool creation

Join the Machine Conditioning EUV Source Team at ASML – Be part of progress

Introduction

The Machine Conditioning EUV Source team designs and delivers thermal, vacuum, and fluid tin supply solutions for ASML’s extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. These solutions are essential for meeting power and throughput roadmaps in the EUV source business line. This internship focuses on creating a tool that provides feedback on reliability and sustainability for mechanical designs, supporting our design community in making informed decisions and improving product performance.

Your assignment

• Develop a practical tool (possibly in Excel) that connects design choices to reliability and sustainability impacts.
• Collaborate with interns and colleagues on tool design aspects.
• Collect data on reliability factors such as lifetime, manufacturing quality, and field performance.
• Gather sustainability metrics, including emissions, reuse potential, and carbon footprint.
• Create and structure a database for compiled data.
• Analyze patterns linking design choices to reliability and sustainability outcomes.
• Develop a user-friendly tool (e.g., in Excel) for mechanical designers.

Your profile

• Enrolled in a master’s program in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.
• Knowledge of mechanical design (NX preferably).
• Understanding of Design of Experiments (DoE) principles (preferably).
• Proficient in Excel and data organization.
• Proactive, analytical, and communicate effectively.
• Good communication skills in English (verbal and written).

This is a Master’s non-thesis internship for a minimum of 6 months, 3–5 days per week. The start date of this internship is as of January or February 2026.

Other requirements

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship.
• You are located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. If you are currently living or studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter should include the 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).

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. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
