Introduction

Within ASML’s Development and Engineering sector, the Performance & Integration department helps predict and optimize the performance of advanced semiconductor systems in real-world manufacturing environments. To support this work, the team develops software solutions that process large volumes of measurement data and transform them into actionable insights. This internship offers the opportunity to contribute to data-driven improvements that help engineers understand system behavior and identify optimization opportunities. During the internship, you will work with experienced engineers while developing software solutions that have a direct impact on performance analysis. If you enjoy combining software development, data analysis, and visualization, this internship could be a great fit for you.

Your assignment

In this internship, you will contribute to the development and improvement of software tools used to analyze performance data from advanced semiconductor systems. You will help transform complex datasets into clear insights and improve the quality and maintainability of existing applications. You will work closely with engineers to understand business needs and translate them into practical software solutions.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Analyze measurement data and understand relevant performance indicators
• Improve the quality, reliability, and maintainability of existing software tools
• Refactor and optimize software components to increase code reusability
• Develop data visualization solutions and interactive dashboards
• Translate complex datasets into clear and actionable insights
• Collaborate with engineers to identify valuable metrics and reporting needs
• Document software improvements and support knowledge sharing within the team

This is a bachelor/master non-thesis internship for 6 months, 5 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of February 2027.
