ASML N.V.•Wilton, CT

61d

About The Position

ASML US brings 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, the Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon. A well-rounded mechatronics engineer in this position will work on mechatronics, precision handling of delicate parts, product and system integration and software functionality, all specific to ASML products. The main focus will be mechatronics and control systems on advanced modules in lithography tools. Candidate should have direct experience in the design and test of mechatronic systems and control systems, preferably in the area industrial robotics integration. The EUV Reticle Handling, Uniformity Correction Module and Yieldstar Mechatronics Group, a division of ASML's Reticle Handling, Mechatronics and Defectivity Department, in Wilton CT is seeking a well-rounded intern to work on mechatronics, motion control, product and system integration and/or software functionality, all specific to ASML products. The main focus will be mechatronics and control systems on advanced modules in next generation High Numerical Aperture lithography tools. The job requires a strong technical individual contributor to: Work in a team environment alongside experienced engineers on real-life mechatronics topics. Work on solving an actual issue or design challenge the group is facing at the time. Specific tasks will also be tailored to match the education / experience level of the intern as well as the student's learning objectives for the duration. Perform some autonomous work (modeling, data collection, data analysis, test execution in the lab or clean room) as well as some supervised and/or collaborative work. Assignments are usually a mix of analysis and hands on work with hardware. Document and present their findings as well as making an end of program presentation to the team about what you achieved during your internship. 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.
