Electrical | Industrial internship: reducing waste in manufacturing by using Lean

Be part of progress at ASML: Internship Opportunity in Development & Engineering

Introduction

The Development & Engineering (D&E) sector of ASML is responsible for the specification, design, and realization of the products in the ASML portfolio. Within D&E, the Electronic Development (EDEV) department defines, realizes, and qualifies the electronic functions and modules of these products. In the Manufacturing & Equipment Engineering Source group within EDEV, we industrialize designs of electronic solutions. We are a group of more than 25 people with various backgrounds and nationalities. One of our main challenges is to manage the complexity, while having efficient processes and tools enabling it.

Your assignment

This internship assignment focuses on identifying 'waste' in manufacturing operations and processes in the EDEV department by using Lean methodology. As an intern, your tasks will include:

• Investigate what electrical designs are currently in place within ASML
• Analyze which electrical designs are failing the most in manufacturing using data
• Interview stakeholders about the challenges in the current electrical designs and processes
• Create a concept that can fulfill the needs of stakeholders
• Discuss the proposals with stakeholders
• Realize the selected electrical concept/design
• Get content from the stakeholders and implement it
• Document how the data collection and reporting is set up and how to maintain it

This is a Bachelor or Master internship with a duration of 5/6 months, working 4-5 days a week. This assignment is also suitable for a thesis project of 6 months. The expected start date is around February/March 2026.
