Internship - Mechanical Engineering Research

San Diego, CA

Introduction to the job

ASML US brings together the most creative minds in science and technology to develop lithography machines that are key to producing faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient microchips. We design, develop, integrate, market and service these advanced machines, which enable our customers - the world's leading chipmakers - to reduce the size and increase the functionality of their microchips, which in turn leads to smaller, more powerful consumer electronics. Our headquarters are in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, and we have 18 office locations around the United States including main offices in Chandler, Arizona, San Jose and San Diego, California, Wilton, Connecticut, and Hillsboro, Oregon.

Takes the lead to specify, design, develop, realize, integrate, and test (sub-)modules / tools, in cooperation with other disciplines and suppliers, within the limits of system specifications, costs, and project planning, to ensure the timely realization of (sub-)modules as part of competitive, achievable, and serviceable products.
  • Takes the lead in development of more complex parts of modules AND/OR drives and owns a technically complex solution.
  • Leads technically complex (mono-disciplinary) designs OR a functional design, owning and delivering solutions with full technical ownership.
  • Works across multiple teams and collaborates with other trains.
  • Can take lead in interfaces with suppliers, customers, other projects and other engineering disciplines in a less-defined environment (e.g. new supplier, NPI product).
  • Participates in cross-sector teams to realize solutions.
  • Aligns on / thinks of solutions with counter parts from multiple adjacent groups. Collaborates with engineers and scientists in other areas.
  • Understands how own designs fits in at subsystem level. Performs critical design engineering tasks, in cooperation with other disciplines and suppliers, maintains cross project view, specifies, designs, develops, tests, and assists in project planning and management as well as competency development. Introduces and drives new approaches on technical level within submodule. Provides work breakdown support to architects/PLs/POs for features/work packages and performance breakdown in own (sub-)module scope. Balances between quality and timely delivery.
