Computer Science | Software Engineering internship: Wafer map verification

Introduction

Within ASML’s Metrology and Machine Control department, you will contribute to software solutions that support advanced semiconductor manufacturing systems. The Leveling team develops measurement capabilities that help ensure accurate focus during wafer exposure by providing highly precise wafer topography information. As imaging requirements become increasingly demanding, reliable verification of wafer measurements is essential for system performance and troubleshooting. In this internship, you will improve a wafer map verification solution that supports engineers in analyzing measurement quality and validating system behavior. This internship offers the opportunity to work on software that contributes directly to innovation within ASML’s lithography systems.

Your assignment

As a Computer Science | Software Engineering internship student, you will help enhance a wafer map verification application used by engineers working on prototype and development systems. You will collaborate with subject-matter experts to improve usability, functionality, and validation workflows. Your work will contribute to software that can be deployed across multiple system platforms. Your main responsibilities will be:

• Design and implement enhancements to an existing wafer map verification application.
• Develop user-friendly software features that improve workflow efficiency.
• Extend configuration and execution options within the application.
• Support software validation and verification activities.
• Collaborate with domain experts to define requirements and evaluate solutions.
• Test, document, and validate implemented functionality.
• Present results and recommendations to engineering stakeholders.

This is a master's internship for a minimum of 4 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of February 2027.
