Mechatronics | Systems & Control internship: diagnostic data capture

Introduction

The Mechatronics and Measurement team within ASML’s Development & Engineering organization in Veldhoven develops and integrates advanced mechatronic systems for next-generation EUV lithography machines. During system testing, qualification, and field support activities, large amounts of machine and event data become available for diagnostics. However, critical diagnostic traces are not always captured when abnormal Reticle Stage behavior occurs, making comparison between cases and root-cause analysis more difficult. In this internship, you will help improve diagnostic data capture and enable more effective investigation of complex system behavior. This Mechatronics | Systems & Control internship: diagnostic data capture offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the performance and reliability of advanced mechatronic systems.

Your assignment

During this internship, you will investigate how diagnostic information can be captured more consistently when abnormal machine behavior occurs. You will analyze available machine data, identify diagnostic gaps, and develop recommendations or solutions that improve data availability for engineering investigations. Your work will support faster and more structured root-cause analysis across multiple technical disciplines. Your main responsibilities will be:

• Analyze machine event data and diagnostic traces related to Reticle Stage behavior.
• Identify missing or insufficient diagnostic information during abnormal events.
• Investigate patterns using signal processing and time-series analysis techniques.
• Develop methods to improve diagnostic data collection and trace availability.
• Visualize and interpret data to support technical decision-making.
• Collaborate with engineers from different technical disciplines to validate findings.
• Present conclusions and practical recommendations for future implementation.

This is a master’s or bachelor internship for minimum 5 months, minimum 5 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 master’s degree in Mechatronics, Systems & Control, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Data Science, or a related technical field.
• Have experience with programming or scripting using Python or MATLAB.
• Have knowledge of signal analysis, time-series analysis, and data visualization techniques.
• Have a basic understanding of mechatronic systems, sensors, actuators, and control engineering.
• Demonstrate analytical thinking, proactive ownership, strong communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders.

At ASML, you will work in an innovative and international environment where your ideas are valued. You will gain hands-on experience with complex mechatronic systems, work alongside experienced engineers, and contribute to technology that enables the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers. This internship combines technical depth, real-world impact, and the opportunity to develop skills that support your future career in engineering and data-driven problem solving.

This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.).
