The mechatronics department for the Projection Optics Box (POB) in ASML’s EUV systems develops ultra-stable structures and actuation solutions for mirror alignment. You will contribute to improving system stability by detecting unintended mechanical shortcuts between structural frames. These shortcuts can reduce performance and are difficult to localize with visual inspection alone. In this internship: you will help turn measurement data into actionable insight. Your work supports high-precision performance in EUV manufacturing.
In complex mechanical systems, hidden connections between frames can disturb dynamic behavior and reduce positioning accuracy. In this internship you will investigate how changes in dynamic behavior reveal the presence and location of these shortcuts. Your main responsibilities will be:
Analyze measurement data to detect changes in system dynamics
Perform modal fitting on frequency response data
Compare results with reference data from nominal conditions
Identify patterns in mode shape variations linked to structural shortcuts
Develop software tooling for data analysis and visualization
Validate findings with engineering insights and simulations
Present results and recommendations to the team
This is a master non-thesis internship for minimum 4 months and maximum 6 months, for 5 days per week (at least 3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026.
To be suitable for the internship, you:
Are pursuing a master’s degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics or a related field
Have experience with system identification and dynamic modeling
Have practical experience using MATLAB or similar tools
Show analytical thinking and a structured working approach
Are collaborative and can also work independently
