Electrical Engineering | Mechanical Engineering internship: cable marking evaluation

Introduction

Within the Electronics Development (EDEV) cluster at ASML, teams design and optimize critical cable systems used in advanced machines. In this internship you will explore innovative ways to replace traditional cable labeling. The internship focuses on evaluating printed marking solutions that could reduce cost and simplify assembly processes. Your work in this internship will help improve manufacturability and reliability. If you enjoy combining research with practical engineering challenges, this internship offers a valuable learning opportunity.

Your assignment

In this internship, you will investigate and assess alternatives to traditional cable labeling methods. You will compare solutions, validate their performance, and translate findings into clear recommendations. Your work will directly support decision-making within engineering teams. 
Your main responsibilities will be:

• Perform market research on suppliers and technologies for direct cable printing

• Analyze and compare different printing solutions and approaches

• Evaluate readability, contrast, and long-term legibility of printed markings

• Assess durability under mechanical, thermal, and environmental conditions

• Investigate compatibility with cleanroom and industrial environments

• Compare solutions with current labeling in cost, manufacturability, and robustness

• Summarize findings and provide a clear recommendation based on evidence

This is a bachelor non-thesis internship from 3–6 months, minimum 3 days per week (1 day on-site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026.

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are pursuing a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, electro-mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, or a related field

• Have strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills

• Are proactive and able to work independently

• Communicate clearly in English (written and verbal)

• Are collaborative and comfortable interacting with stakeholders and suppliers

Other requirements you need to meet:
