About the position
ASML US, including its affiliates and subsidiaries, brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, and more energy-efficient microchips. The company designs, develops, integrates, markets, and services these advanced machines, enabling customers - the world's leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. The headquarters are located in Veldhoven, Netherlands, with 18 office locations across the United States, including main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon. Founded in 1984, ASML is the world's leading provider of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry, manufacturing complex machines that are critical to the production of integrated circuits or microchips. The mission of the Mechanical Development department is to design and develop the complex mechanics for these machines, which are some of the highest precision products ever produced in the world. This position is based on-site in Wilton, CT, which has both R&D and manufacturing operations. The team designs and produces multiple sub-system modules that are shipped to the headquarters in Veldhoven, where they are integrated into the full lithography machine. As a Co-Op student in Mechanical Design Engineering, you will participate in developing portions of the lithography system and/or associated tooling. You will work on sub-systems involving robotics, mechatronics, precision mechanics, and/or opto-mechanics. Precision machine design at ASML starts with understanding the functional requirements and deriving specifications. You will collaborate with design engineers and system architects in a multidisciplinary project team to develop concepts, perform engineering analysis, build and test prototypes, generate detailed CAD designs, create engineering drawings, partner with suppliers, and support system integration and testing. Co-Ops typically work at ASML for a semester and a summer, totaling 8 months. This position requires onsite presence to attend in-person work-related events, trainings, and meetings to ensure teamwork, collaboration, and innovation.
