Are you a Bachelor or Master student in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Mechatronics? Are you curious to learn more about laser and fiber technology? Do you have an affinity with opto-mechanical designs and CAD modelling (preferably NX)? Then this internship could be interesting for you!Background InformationThe Opto-mechanical Competence Group of ASML is a team of opto-mechanical engineers, who engage in collecting and sharing opto-mechanical knowledge with design engineers, next to their daily work tasks. Experts from Veldhoven (NL), Wilton (US) and San Diego (US) are part of this Competence Group. Within the Group, the Optical Fiber team focuses on Opto-mechanical Design principles for optical fibers, often connected to a powerful light source. The task of the team is to gather lessons learned throughout ASML and share these by creating documentation and training materials. The primary goal is to gather and communicate designs and to make this knowledge-sharing practice as common as possible.Your AssignmentFibers are transporting light through the core of the fiber with a defined power level. This power level is distinguished by different "laser classes" to indicate the danger to human eyesight. In case the laser light is too powerful, measures must be taken to prevent accidents during handling or maintenance of the system. When a fiber connection is needed, this also needs to act as an interlock. The purpose of an interlock is to shut down the laser when the optical fiber gets disconnected, and its light can pose a danger to the human eye. In this assignment the goal is to design a general-purpose interlock system that prevents the disconnection of the optical fiber when the laser source is engaged.The goal of the assignment is to set up a design that can be used with multiple types of optical fiber connectors in our system. Since laser safety is paramount, the interlock design must be robust and fail-safe.Your tasks may include, but are not limited to:Familiarize yourself with existing interlock designs and safety standards;Design a fiber connection interlock system compliant with general safety and ASML standards;Conduct a safety review with safety officers;Prepare drawings and documentation, which can be used to get the system manufactured;Document and evaluate the test procedure;Order, build and test the design.Your ProfileTo be a match for this internship, you:Are pursuing your bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Mechatronics;Are solution-oriented and have a hands-on mentality;Have experience with/ an interest in opto-mechanical designs;Have some CAD modelling experience (preferably NX);Have good English communication skills (verbal and written).This is a graduation/apprentice internship for 4-5 days a week with a duration of 4 to 6 months. The start date can be discussed.Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at a school for the entire duration of the internship.This position requires access to U.S. controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations. Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such U.S. controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with applicants who are immediately eligible to access U.S. controlled technology.Change the world – one nanometer at a time.Become an intern at a Dutch company that’s a global industry leader. You’ll gain valuable experience in a highly innovative environment – one that sparks your imagination and creativity. In addition to a monthly internship allowance of maximum €600 (plus possible housing allowance and free public transport), you’ll get practical guidance from experts in the field and the chance to work in and experience a dynamic team environment.ASML: be part of progress.ASML is a high-tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. We manufacture the complex lithography machines that chipmakers use to produce integrated circuits, or computer chips. What we do is at the heart of all the electronic devices that keep us informed, entertained, and connected. Every day, you use electronics that simply wouldn’t exist without our machines.Behind ASML’s innovations are engineers who think ahead. The people who work at our company include some of the most creative minds in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, mechatronics, optics, mechanical engineering, computer science and fields which are not technically oriented. We believe we can always do better. We believe the winning idea can come from anyone. We love what we do – not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard.Students: getting ready for real-world R&DWe’re a global team of about 42,000 people of 140 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia, and the US. In such an environment, your colleagues may be sitting next door, or they could be thousands of kilometers away in a different country – or even working for a different company.How will you be part of progress?Diversity and inclusionASML is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values and respects the importance of a diverse and inclusive workforce.
