2d•$18 - $57

About The Position

As a Summer Intern in Mechanical Design Engineering, you will help design, build, and test components of EUV lithography light sources and related metrology systems. The work may involve robotics, mechatronics, precision mechanics, and opto-mechanics. You will collaborate with scientists, engineers, and system architects in a multidisciplinary project team to develop concepts, conduct engineering analyses, build and test prototypes, create CAD designs and engineering drawings, work with suppliers, and support system integration and testing. The internship project and responsibilities may be shaped in part by the candidate’s interests and background. Duties may change at any time, and other duties may be assigned. The position requires legal authorization to access controlled technology before work begins. The stated base annual salary range is $18.00–$57.00; individual pay depends on factors including job-related skills, education, experience, certifications, and abilities. Recruiters can provide information about bonus programs, benefits, and equity during the hiring process.
