Electrical Engineering Internship: Analog Front-End Design

Introduction

Join ASML’s Hardware Development team in Veldhoven and contribute to the future of semiconductor technology. Our machines rely on ultra-precise, low-noise data acquisition to deliver world-class performance. To achieve this, we are optimizing the analog-to-digital signal chain through a modular front-end architecture. This internship focuses on improving calibration sequences to minimize noise and drift while maintaining accuracy and cycle time. If you are passionate about board design and signal integrity, this is your opportunity to make an impact.

Your assignment

You will explore the current architectural proposal, sensor technologies, and calibration methods used in our systems. After analyzing noise sources and drift behavior, you will define requirements for an optimized front-end design. Finally, you will validate these requirements through a proof of concept using simulations and theoretical analysis.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Investigate existing front-end architecture and calibration sequences.
• Analyze noise and drift factors affecting signal accuracy.
• Define a clear requirements list for the optimized design.
• Develop and validate a proof of concept through simulations.
• Document findings and present recommendations to the team.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers throughout the design process.
• Contribute to improving scalability and reducing cost of goods.

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
• Have interest and basic experience in board design and signal processing.
• Are analytical, proactive, and detail-oriented in your approach.
• Communicate effectively in English, both written and spoken.
• Preferably have knowledge of front-end design, DACs, and ADCs.

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 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).
