Internship - Mechanical Engineering Research

ASML•San Diego, CA

About The Position

As a Summer Intern in Mechanical Design Engineering, you will participate in designing, building, and testing portions of the EUV lithography light source and associated metrology. You will work on subsystems involving robotics, mechatronics, precision mechanics, and/or opto-mechanics. The work spans understanding functional requirements and deriving specifications through concept development, engineering analysis, prototyping, detailed CAD design, supplier coordination, system integration, and testing. Internship project responsibilities may be partially determined by the candidate’s interests and background. Other duties may be assigned, and the job description may change at any time. The role is intended for a candidate pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering who has completed at least two years of study. Candidates should have a strong background in mechanical design and engineering, exposure to mechanical design fundamentals and 3D solid modeling, and basic experience with analytical techniques including first-principles engineering equations and finite element analysis. The position requires effective written and oral communication in English. The position requires access to controlled technology under the Export Administration Regulations. Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access this technology before starting work; business needs may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible. ASML is an Equal Opportunity Employer and values a diverse and inclusive workforce.
