Physics/Mechanical Engineering Internship (Non-Thesis): Wafer Alignment Tooling in Julia

Introduction

Are you a bachelor student in Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering or a related field looking for an apprentice internship? Do you have programming knowledge and knowledge on data structures? Then this internship might be interesting for you!

Background information

Wafer Alignment department is a part of the Metrology and Machine Control cluster in the Development & Engineering sector of ASML..
The responsibility of Wafer Alignment function in ASML lithography scanner is to create the horizontal wafer deformation model from measurements. We then communicate the model to the expose side of the scanner where it is taken into account during exposures. The wafer alignment should serve both overlay and productivity objectives in the most optimal way. 

Your assignment

For data analyses Wafer Alignment engineers require tooling to filter, select and group data. This tooling is provided in MATLAB but since most of our algorithms have moved to Julia we require some of the tools in Julia as well. In this internship you will help to develop part of this tooling. This assignment is a great opportunity to experience the working environment in one of the most innovative Metrology departments, while learning about the application domain of Julia programming language. 

Your Profile

To be a perfect match for this internship, you:

• Are a bachelor student in Physics, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

• Have basic programming knowledge and basic linear algebra knowledge (Matrix vector operations, matrix inversion).

• Have knowledge on data structures (Julia/Python, pandas data frames).

• Are pro-active and capable of working independently.

• Have great communication skills in English both verbally and in writing.

​This is an apprentice bachelor internship with a flexible duration of 3 to 6 months, for 3-5 days a week, starting in August/September 2024.

Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at an educational institution for the entire duration of the internship.

Change the world – one nanometer at a time

Become an intern at a Dutch company that’s a global industry leader. You’ll gain valuable experience in a highly innovative environment – one that sparks your imagination and creativity. In addition to a monthly internship allowance of maximum €600 (plus a possible housing and free public transport), you’ll get practical guidance from experts in the field and the chance to work in and experience a dynamic team environment.

ASML - be part of progress

ASML is a high-tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. We manufacture the complex lithography machines that chipmakers use to produce integrated circuits, or computer chips. What we do is at the heart of all the electronic devices that keep us informed, entertained and connected. Every day, you use electronics that simply wouldn’t exist without our machines.

Behind ASML’s innovations are engineers who think ahead. The people who work at our company include some of the most creative minds in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, mechatronics, optics, mechanical engineering, computer science and fields which are not technical oriented.

We believe we can always do better. We believe the winning idea can come from anyone. We love what we do – not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard.

Students - getting ready for real-world R&D

We’re a global team of about 39,000 people of 140 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia and the US. 

In such an environment, your colleagues may be sitting next door, or they could be thousands of kilometers away in a different country – or even working for a different company.

An internship at ASML is the opportunity to get to know not only the world of industrial-strength R&D, but yourself – you’ll discover just what excites you most. Will you design a part of the machine, or make sure it gets built to the tightest possible specifications? Will you write software that drives the system to its best performance, or work side-by-side with the engineers of our customers in a fab, optimizing a system to the requirements of the customer?

How will you be part of progress?
