Job Description
Introduction to the job
ASML US, LP 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. As the world’s leading semiconductor lithography machine (the machine that makes computer chips) manufacturer, ASML enables chip manufacturers to make cheaper, faster chips, thereby enabling all the technology you use today. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Wilton, CT, Chandler, AZ, San Jose, CA and San Diego, CA. We are currently recruiting for internships located at our office in San Diego, CA (EUV laser source creation).
This internship offers a unique and exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative Technology Development team, focused on conceiving and demonstrating the technologies required for next generations of high-power extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources. The EUV source technology development team is responsible for identifying system-level operating points for stable EUV production generated from laser produced plasmas and helps to chart the path to increase EUV power to meet the future needs of the Lithography industry. If you like extreme challenges and want to help bring the next generation of technology to the world, then start your adventure and join ASML.
This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
Role and responsibilities
We are looking for an enthusiastic and curious intern to support various research and technology development activities, including data analysis and visualization, modeling and test execution.
The 2024 project will focus on research topics around EUV plasma modeling, by assisting in enhancing the existing models, executing such for various input conditions, and post processing the output data.
The intern will participate in setting up the necessary model infrastructure, validating the model via targeted execution condition, and interpreting the model prediction against physically measured data.
Work in a team environment alongside local experienced engineers.
Specific tasks will be tailored to match the education / experience level of the intern as well as the interns learning objectives for the summer.
A 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.
Interns will typically be required to document and present their findings as well as making an end of summer presentation to the group about what they achieved during their internship.
Education and experience
Actively studying towards a degree in Physics, Optics, Engineering, or computer science.
Skills
Matlab and/or Python experience, modelling skills, C++ experience is a plus.
Background in light-matter interaction or plasma physics strongly preferred.
Possess strong ownership characteristics and commitment to achieving results on time
Have strong written and oral communicative skills
Be a demonstrated “team player” with a quality orientation and interpersonal skills
Have strong problem solving skills and the ability to take initiative with little guidance
Be willing to accept feedback from a variety of stakeholders
