Mechanical Engineering Internship (non-thesis): Finalize design of mirror gluing tool and test parts

Introduction

Are you a Bachelor/Vocational studies student in the direction of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or similar? Are you interested in designs for manufacturing? Then this internship might be interesting for you!

Background information

The group of Sensors Mechanics and Stage positioning modules is part of the cluster Mechanical Development and is responsible for the design of optical sensor systems, like interferometers and image sensors.
For the mounting of optical elements within small tolerances with respect to reference surfaces, specific tools and processes are used. These tools are made to reach the tolerances, enabling the assembly steps and protect sensitive optical surfaces. Of particular interest are gluing tools, they need to ensure the position of the parts glued over a decent timeframe (for curing) since any deviation is hardly reworkable.

Your assignment

The task of this assignment is to optimize and detail design a new gluing tool for a mirror to prepare it for order. Furthermore a test plan has to be created during the assignment. For the execution of the tests, a set of specific test parts should be designed which can be used instead of a functional (and expensive!) mirror for the test. Therefore the main deliverables are:

• Technical documentation of tool parts;
• discuss and improve Design-for-Manufacturability aspects of the tooling design;
• Design of test parts utilizable as mirror substitute;
• Test plan for the test of the tool.

Your profile

To be a perfect match for this role, you:

• Are a Bachelor or vocational studies student in the direction of Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering or similar;
• Have previous CAD experience;
• Have affinity and previous experience with designs for manufacturing and testing;
• Having knowledge about tolerancing is a plus;
• Are solution oriented with a hands-on mentality.

This is a Bachelor/Vocational studies apprentice internship with a duration of 3 to 5 months, 5 days per week. The start date is as soon as possible.
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.
