Introduction to the job

ASML develops some of the world’s most advanced lithography systems, combining precision mechanics, controls, electronics, software, sensors and actuators to enable extremely accurate and reliable system performance.

Our engineering teams in Wilton, CT work on complex mechatronic systems where precision motion, controls, dynamics and system integration come together. We are looking for a Mechatronics Engineering Intern interested in applying engineering fundamentals to real-world challenges in advanced precision systems.

You will work alongside experienced engineers on a real mechatronics or system-performance challenge, with the assignment tailored to your technical background and learning objectives.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Modeling and analyzing dynamic or mechatronic system behavior.
• Using MATLAB/Simulink, Python, or similar engineering tools for simulation and data analysis.
• Analyzing test and measurement data to understand system performance and identify potential root causes.
• Supporting structured troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of technical issues.
• Planning and executing experiments, tests or validation activities in the lab or on ASML equipment.
• Comparing measured behavior with models or expected system performance and developing practical recommendations.
• Collaborating with engineers across mechatronics, controls, mechanical, electrical, software and system disciplines.
• Documenting your work and presenting your findings and recommendations to the engineering team.

The internship provides a combination of analysis, modeling and hands-on engineering, giving you the opportunity to see how engineering fundamentals are applied to complex high-performance systems.

Education and Experience

You are currently pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Robotics, Controls, Applied Physics or a related technical field.

You bring:

• A strong interest in mechatronics, controls, dynamics and precision systems.
• Experience through coursework, projects or research in areas such as dynamic systems, feedback control, robotics, modeling, simulation or data analysis.
• Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink; experience with Python or similar engineering tools is a plus.
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
• Curiosity and a willingness to investigate complex technical problems and understand their root causes.
• A hands-on mindset and willingness to work with engineering hardware and test setups when needed.
• Good communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical results and conclusions.
• A collaborative mindset, willingness to learn and ability to independently drive an assigned task.

Potential candidates will meet the education and experience requirements provided on the above job description and excel in completing the listed responsibilities for this role. All candidates receiving an offer of employment must successfully complete a background check and any other tests that may be required.

The current base hourly range for this role is currently:

$18.00 to $48.00 per hour

Pay scales are determined by role, level, location and alignment with market data. Individual pay is determined through interviews and an assessment of several factors that that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and pay relative to other team members

This position may require 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 the Company to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
