Internship - Controls and Automation

ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world’s leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Chandler AZ, San Jose & San Diego CA, Wilton CT, and Hillsboro OR.

Job Mission

In the wafer exposure process, a single silicon wafer is divided into multiple exposure fields. When moving from one exposure field to another, EUV light generation (and hence, plasma generation) is paused. The goal of this project is to develop algorithms to aid in the plasma generation process, which include but are not limited to:

• Modeling of key steps within the plasma generation process.
• Improvements on existing algorithms.
• Investigations into new optimization techniques.

The project is expected to combine multiple signal streams which may be at different sample rates (sometimes non-uniform). The goal of the internship is for you to learn about working in a corporate setting and to provide hands on experience solving real world problems in a team environment. Interns will typically be required to document and present their findings as well as making an end of summer presentation to the group about what they achieved during their internship.

Job Description

• Work in a team environment alongside local experienced engineers.
• Perform data analysis, modelling, plan and execute algorithm validation in the test bench.
• Specific tasks will be tailored to match the education / experience level of the intern as well as the interns learning objectives for the summer.
• The goal of the internship is for you to learn about working in a corporate setting and to provide hands on experience solving real world problems in a team environment.
• Interns will typically be required to document and present their findings as well as making an end of summer presentation to the group about what they achieved during their internship.
• Accomplish any other duties as assigned.

Education and Experience

• Must be pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, Computer Vision, or related field of engineering. Masters or PhD. preferred.
• Experience with or knowledge of designing and implementing practical feedback control or optimization systems of significant complexity.
• Ability to analyze feedback control systems using classical, modern or nonlinear techniques and theories.
• Knowledge of modern control theory, stochastics, and some nonlinear control theory.
• Experience with or knowledge of Matlab is critical.
• Working knowledge of Simulink, C/C++, and Python is desirable.

Skills

• Can observe and respond to people and situations and interact with others encountered in the course of work. 
• Can quickly learn and apply new information or skills.
• Must be able to read and interpret data, information, and documents.
• Strong customer focus and commitment to customer satisfaction through prioritization, quality, efficiency and professionalism.
• Ability to complete assignments with attention to detail and high degree of accuracy.
• Proven ability to perform effectively in a demanding environment with changing workloads.
• Result driven-demonstrate ownership and accountability.
• Identifies bottlenecks and drives improvements.
• Work independently or as part of a team and follow through on assignments with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrate open, clear, concise and professional communication.

Other Information

• This position is located on-site in San Diego, CA .  It requires onsite presence to attend in-person work-related events, trainings and meetings and to further ensure teamwork, collaboration and innovation.

• A flexible workplace arrangement may be available to employees working in roles conducive to remote work (up to two days a week).
