Internship - Optical Sensor Research

Introduction to the job

ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, bring 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 chip makers - 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, 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.

Job Mission

Are you challenged by demanding projects in a multidisciplinary context? Do you have the technical capabilities to provide innovative solutions? Does contributing to the world's most advanced lithography machines makes you feel responsible and proud? Then, this position might be the right opportunity for you.

This position is located on-site in Wilton, CT. It requires onsite presence to attend in-person work-related events, trainings and meetings and to further ensure teamwork, collaboration and innovation.

Your Assignment

The main responsibility of the intern is to assist Research Engineers in the completion of a detailed design of an optical system. The work will focus on testing of the system including the prework to plan out tests and prepare test scripts in Matlab and/or Labview or performing optical simulations. The work might include testing of the system either in a lab environment or a full Lithography tool.

Daily direction will come from the lead engineers in a dynamic environment where flexibility and thinking on ones feet will be valued. Some reporting of results will be required and the opportunity to work on alternate designs may arise as the test results are available. The intern will be working with senior Researchers and Engineers during this internship with frequent check-ins and the needed mentoring and support.
