Software Engineering Internship: Python tool development

Beschrijving

Introduction

The Mechanical Development (MDEV) cluster at ASML designs, builds, and tests mechanical systems that are integrated into our advanced lithography machines. Our team ensures that these systems are manufacturable, transportable, and serviceable throughout the product lifecycle. To improve engineering efficiency, we are developing automation tools that support simulation workflows. These tools help reduce cycle time and enable faster, more informed design decisions.

Your assignment

As a Software Development Intern, you will contribute to the enhancement of ASML's internal simulation toolkits. These tools interface with professional physics simulation software and are built to support engineers in managing and comparing complex models. You will work on a standalone application that interacts with simulation software, helping users search, retrieve, and compare model metadata across revisions.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Review and improve existing code architecture for better performance and scalability
• Develop new features and tools to support simulation workflows
• Document your work clearly and prepare optional user workshops
• Collaborate with other developers using version control tools
• Plan and track your progress using a dashboard
• Integrate your work with simulation platforms such as ANSYS, NX SC3D, or VCollab
• Ensure tools are user-friendly and aligned with engineering needs

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in software engineering or mechanical engineering
• Have experience with Python and understand programming patterns
• Are collaborative and communicate effectively in a team setting
• Are analytical, with a strong attention to detail
• Are proactive in identifying and solving technical challenges

This is a bachelor/master apprentice internship for minimum 5 months, minimum 4 days per week. The start date of this internship is as of September 2026 and is flexible in agreement.

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;
• Attach your cover letter with a clear motivation why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular;
• You need to be located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. In case you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter needs to include the willingness to relocate.
• If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
