Computer Science | IT Internship: Framework for testing platform components in isolation

Introduction

Are you a Master student in the direction of Computer Science, It or similar? Do you have basic programming knowledge? Are you curious and looking to expand your skillset and gain new experiences? Then this internship might be interesting or you!

Background information

Digital Platform is part of the newly formed Business unit (DPS). One of the products this department is developing is the Equipment Performance Server (EPS), a product which ASML places at customer sites to support ASML Customer Support Engineers. Given the complexity of the ASML lithography machines, this EPS Servers are key to have high availability.

Your assignment

The application software described above is created by specialists in other teams. Together with the EPS team of ~20 people it is your task to investigate alternatives for a test platform to test the components in the platform. For the components you should think of K8S, VMWare, MongoDB, ISTIO etc...Of course these components are tested thoroughly outside ASML, but the ASML specific use cases ask for a framework to test our specific use cases.Use cases can be e.g. "a connection to a socket is broken, etc.". The team you will work with designed the hardware setup, the virtualization layers, manages firmware updates and provides a key set of supporting software services to manage the hardware platform. The team is very strong on the technical aspects.

Your profile

To be a perfect match with this internship, you:

• Are a Master student in the direction of Computer Science, IT or similar;
• Have basic programming knowledge (Python);
• Are familiar with Linux;
• Are curious and able to work independently.

This is a Master graduation assignmentwith a duration of 6 months, 5 days per week, starting as soon as possible.
Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at a school for the entire duration of the internship.

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 possible housing and/or travel allowance), 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, and computer science and software engineering.

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 29,000 people of 120 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport 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.

An internship at ASML is the opportunity to get to know not only the world of industrial-strength R&D, but yourself – you’ll discover just what excites you most. Will you design a part of the machine, or make sure it gets built to the tightest possible specifications? Will you write software that drives the system to its best performance, or work side-by-side with the engineers of our customers in a fab, optimizing a system to the requirements of the customer?
How will you be part of progress?
