Computer Science | Artificial Intelligence internship: ai-assisted diagnostics platform

Introduction

The YieldStar engineering team in Veldhoven develops and supports advanced optical metrology solutions that help improve semiconductor manufacturing accuracy. As system complexity increases, engineers work with large volumes of technical information to diagnose issues and support customer escalations. This internship focuses on exploring how Artificial Intelligence can make diagnostics and troubleshooting more efficient and effective. You will contribute to the foundation of a platform that helps engineers access, analyze, and use engineering knowledge in a smarter way. This work can help shape future AI-assisted diagnostics capabilities within ASML.

Your assignment

During this internship, you will investigate how Artificial Intelligence can support engineering diagnostics, reduce analysis effort, and improve troubleshooting quality. You will design and develop a proof-of-concept platform that combines engineering data, diagnostic information, and domain knowledge into a single environment. The outcome will provide recommendations and a technical foundation for future AI-assisted diagnostic solutions. Your main responsibilities will be

• Analyze current diagnostic and troubleshooting workflows
• Evaluate engineering data sources and knowledge repositories
• Research the use of large language models and AI agents for diagnostics
• Design an architecture for an AI-assisted diagnostics platform
• Develop a proof-of-concept demonstrating AI-supported troubleshooting
• Validate the solution using realistic engineering scenarios
• Present recommendations for future diagnostic and monitoring capabilities

This is a master's or bachelor internship for minimum 6 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of February 2027.

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, data science, systems engineering, or a related field
• Have experience with artificial intelligence and Python or MATLAB
• Are analytical and enjoy solving complex technical challenges
• Work proactively and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams
• Communicate clearly in English, both verbally and in writing

Other requirements you need to meet:
