Job Description:

Introduction

Are you a master student in Mechanical Engineering? Do you have experience with opto-mechanical designs and interest in laser and fiber technology? Then this internship is interesting for you!

Background Information

The group Sensors Mechanics is part of the cluster Mechanical Development and is responsible for the design of opto-mechanical modules, like light sources and optical modules for scanner alignment and level sensor. A returning challenge for every optical design is choice whether to glue or mechanically clamp optical fibers. At ASML the use of special fibers and UV light, high pulse energy or high-power lasers increasingly descoping the use of glue and push for the need for mechanical solutions. Especially clamping of single mode fibers and Photonic Chrystal Fibers are sensitive to stress that can cause mode distortion, polarization loss and birefringence.

Your Assignment

As an intern your assignment focuses on the investigation and testing of various mechanical clamping solutions in its impact on the optical performance of optical fibers. The assignment consists of:

  • A theoretical analyses and experiments of impact of different V-groove designs, materials, dimensions, and fibers on optical performance. Optical table test set up is available.
  • Analyzing and testing the impact of different clamping forces, force vectors and friction on optical performance. Optical table test set up is available.
  • Reporting test results and underpin with theoretical analysis.
  • Defining recommendations for fiber clamping designs.
  • Analyzing and testing the impact of operational heat loads on fiber clamping on optical performance.
  • Reporting finding of tests and investigations, interpret the results and give recommendations for improvements or suggestions for further investigation.
  • Designing additional mechanical set-up features required to conduct the described activities.

Your Profile

  • To be the perfect match for this internship, you:
  • Are a Master student in Mechanical engineering or related.
  • Have experience with opto-mechanical designs.
  • Have interest in laser and fiber technology.
  • Are solution-oriented self-motivated?
  • Have a proactive and hands-on mentality.
  • Have strong English communication skills (verbal and written)

This is a Master graduation/apprenticeship internship for 5-9 months, for 5 days per week. 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 a housing 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 technical 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&D

We’re a global team of about 42,000 people of 140 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brain port 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?
