Mechanical Engineering Internship (non-thesis) : Creating Opto-mechanical fibers course training

Introduction

Are you studying Mechanical Engineering or Physics? Are you a solution-oriented person who has a hands-on type mentality? Then this internship might be interesting for you!

Background information

The opto-mechanical competence is a company wide group of opto-mechanical engineers, who, next to their main job, have a side activity of collecting and sharing opto-mechanical knowledge with design engineers in ASML to help them to improve their designs. Within this competence group there is a fiber team of 13 people from Veldhoven (NL), Wilton (US) and San Diego (US). The fiber team focusses on opto-mechanical design principles for optical fibers. The task of the team is to gather lessons learned throughout the company and share this in a 'lessons learned' document as well in an introduction training. For this introduction training we have an assignment.

Your assignment

In collaboration with the fiber competence, you need to setup and realize a hands-on training kit to be used in an ASML specific opto-mechanical course to demonstrate some basic principles and behaviour of optical fibers. This kit should make designers aware of the specific properties and behavior of optical fibers in designs and to teach them some hands-on experience working with fibers. The optical fiber training kit comprises specific sets of hardware, each defined to demonstrate a particular fiber property or behavior. Each individual setup requires a description and a hardware setup.

These are the concrete activities for this assignment:

• Create a demonstration kit (selecting components and building setup);
• Design or selection of a packaging and transport box;
• Ensure the test setups are safe for use (laser safety);
• Make it orderable for use at different sites across the company (Technical Product Documentation).

Your profile

To be the perfect match for this internship you:

• Are a Vocational (last year) or Bachelor student in Mechanical Engineering or Physics;
• Have CAD experience;
• Are a solution oriented and pro-active person;
• Are a good communicator.

This is a Vocational or Bachelor apprentice internship with a duration of 6 months, 5 days per week. The start date is flexible.

Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at a university 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.
