Computer Science | Embedded Systems internship: simulator integration

Be part of progress: Join ASML’s software testing team and contribute to the development of next-generation lithography systems

Introduction

ASML is a leading supplier of lithography equipment, used by the world’s top chipmakers to print microchips that are increasingly powerful, fast and energy efficient. Working at ASML is inspiring, no matter what field you're in. We’re a global team of more than 32,000 people from 122 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia and the US.

Join ASML’s software testing team and contribute to the development of next-generation lithography systems. Our scanners combine advanced hardware and software, making testing and qualification a complex challenge. Many subsystems use simulators to validate functionality in isolation. Integrating these simulators can significantly improve software coverage and reduce testing costs. In this internship, you will explore and implement combinations of simulators for selected use cases.

Your assignment

You will investigate how to integrate multiple subsystem simulators into a unified environment. This approach will help improve test coverage and efficiency for ASML’s EUV machines.

• Analyze existing subsystem simulators and their interfaces.
• Design an integration approach for selected use cases.
• Implement and validate simulator combinations.
• Develop scripts and tools to automate integration tasks.
• Test and debug integrated simulator environments.
• Document your findings and provide recommendations.

Deliver a demo of the wafer exchange use case.

This is a master’s internship for a minimum of 3 months (preferably 6 months), minimum 4 days per week (3 days on-site, but the team is flexible). The start date of this internship is as of February 2026.

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are enrolled in a master’s degree in computer science or embedded systems.
• Have programming experience in C, C++, and Python.
• Are familiar with Linux-based systems.
• Have strong analytical and debugging skills.
• Enjoy working in a collaborative and proactive manner.

Other requirements you need to meet

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship.
• You need to be located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you’re currently living/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.
