ASML is an innovation leader in the global semiconductor industry. We make machines that chipmakers use to mass produce microchips. Founded in 1984 in the Netherlands with just a handful of employees, we’ve now grown to over 40,000 employees, 143 nationalities and more than 60 locations around the world.
What do we do?
We provide chipmakers with hardware, software and services to mass produce patterns on silicon through lithography. Our lithography systems use ultraviolet light to create billions of tiny structures on silicon that together make up a microchip. We push our technology to new limits to enable our customers to create smaller, faster and more powerful chips.
Who are our people?
While you may think that only engineers and mathematicians work at ASML, you'll be surprised to find out that our people come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Across ASML, we have dedicated teams that manage customer support, communications and media, IT, software development and more. Every team in the company is essential for pushing our technology and the industry forward.
If you love to tackle challenges and innovate in a collaborative, supportive and inclusive environment with all the flexibility and freedom to unleash your full potential, ASML is the place to be.
The intern will work within the EUV UIR team to support the installation, maintenance, and upgrade of advanced lithography machines at customer sites.
Responsibilities include documenting KPIs, improving processes using LEAN/6 Sigma methodologies, and creating data visualizations to identify automation opportunities.
What you need
Candidates must have completed at least 60 hours toward a Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering field with an expected graduation date of December 2027 or May 2028.
Proficiency in MS Office applications and strong communication and analytical skills are required.
CS US Intern Job Description
Introduction to the job
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.
The Customer Support (CS) organization is responsible for the installation, qualification, repair and maintenance of the ASML systems at customer sites and the necessary transfer of know-how to the customer. This internship sits within our EUV UIR (Upgrades, Installs, and Relocation) team that partners with the local Customer Support branches to perform these tasks for the customers within the specific region.
