Electrical Engineering Internship: Time Standardization per Instruction Step

Be part of progress: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (ME & EE) Internship at ASML

The Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (ME & EE) group is part of ASML’s Development & Engineering department and focuses on industrializing new designs for production. Within this group, the FC-22/23 team is responsible for the industrialization of mains distribution and safety handling. The ME & EE group is responsible for work preparation for new product implementation. During this process, we estimate the time required for operators to perform specific actions. Currently, these estimations rely on hardware-based tools, which are difficult to apply to certain factory activities. The goal of this internship is to create a practical baseline for cycle time estimations that can be used during the early phase of work instruction creation, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Your assignment

You will develop a baseline for cycle time estimations that can be applied during the initial phase of creating work instructions, replacing the current hardware-based tool, which is difficult to use for certain factory actions.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Analyze the current tool for cycle time estimations.
• Study work instructions and cycle time registrations in the factory.
• Identify patterns and key factors influencing cycle times.
• Compile findings into a practical baseline for new estimations.
• Validate the baseline with real-world examples.
• Document your approach and recommendations clearly.
• Share insights with the team to support future improvements.

This is a vocational & bachelor (thesis) internship and master internship for a minimum of 6 months, with a commitment of 4-5 days per week (at least 3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is February 2026.

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or a similar field.
• Have strong analytical skills and enjoy working with data.
• Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively in a team setting.
• Are quality-driven and pay attention to detail.
• Take a proactive approach to problem-solving.

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 explaining why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular.
• You need to be 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 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).
