Computer Science internship: migration of code generator

Be part of progress: Join the Machine Data & Infrastructure (MDI) department at ASML

Introduction

Join the Machine Data & Infrastructure (MDI) department at ASML, where we define and manage machine input settings for advanced lithography systems. These settings enable customers to structure wafers and ensure accurate processing. To speed up adding new settings, we developed a data-driven Code Generator using Xtext and Xtend. However, these technologies are nearing end-of-life, and we need your help to explore alternatives. This internship offers you the chance to contribute to a critical migration project that impacts multiple teams across ASML.

Your assignment

You will investigate and evaluate modern technologies to replace Xtext and Xtend in our Code Generator. Your work will help us prepare for future-proof solutions and reduce dependency on outdated frameworks.

• Research and identify alternatives for Xtext and Xtend
• Compare options using predefined evaluation criteria
• Select the most suitable technology for migration
• Demonstrate feasibility by migrating part of the current implementation
• Explore automation strategies for full migration, possibly leveraging AI
• Document findings and provide recommendations for next steps

Your profile

• You are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in computer science
• Have experience with multiple programming languages (preferably Java and C++)
• Understand or have experience with domain-specific languages (DSLs)
• Are analytical, proactive, and able to work independently
• Communicate clearly and enjoy learning new technologies

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 why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular;
• You need to be located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate.
• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
