Hybrid
The Wafer Handler department in Veldhoven plays a key role in transporting wafers throughout ASML lithography systems. During this internship, you will contribute to improving wafer handling throughput by developing an optimization approach for robot motion. The assignment focuses on reducing robot move time while respecting physical and operational constraints. Your work will help explore new possibilities for faster and more efficient wafer transport in a simulated environment. If you enjoy mathematical modeling, optimization, and translating theory into practical solutions, this internship could be a great fit.
Within the Wafer Handler domain, robots transfer wafers between modules using three degrees of freedom. Current motion strategies are not fully time-optimal and can limit overall system throughput. During this internship, you will investigate optimization techniques from literature and develop an algorithm that generates time-optimal motion setpoints while satisfying system constraints. Success is achieved when the proposed method demonstrates measurable throughput improvements in simulation. Your main responsibilities will be:
This is a master's thesis internship for 4 to 6 months, minimum 5 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as soon as possible.
To be suitable for the internship, you:
This mathematics | systems and control internship offers the opportunity to work on a challenging optimization problem with direct relevance to semiconductor manufacturing technology. You will gain experience combining mathematical theory, simulation, and engineering constraints while contributing to innovations that can improve system performance. As part of this internship, you will collaborate with experienced engineers in an international and inclusive environment where learning and development are encouraged.
Other requirements you need to meet:
