Mechanical Engineering | Systems Engineering internship: strategic utility master plan

Introduction

You will join the Process Technology team in Veldhoven, where engineering, data, and long-term infrastructure planning come together. As ASML continues to grow, utility infrastructure must be planned years ahead to support future manufacturing demand. This internship focuses on transforming an existing framework into a practical and scalable planning and decision-support system. Together with another intern, you will help shape the next stage of ASML’s Five-Year Utility Master Plan. This internship offers the opportunity to create lasting impact on future infrastructure, capacity, and investment decisions.

Your assignment

During this Mechanical Engineering | Systems Engineering internship: strategic utility master plan, you will work as part of a two-person project team to develop a working prototype of ASML’s Five-Year Utility Master Plan. Building on the foundation created by previous interns, you will analyze current infrastructure, evaluate future demand scenarios, and translate insights into clear recommendations. You will collaborate with subject matter experts, challenge assumptions, and help create an evidence-based approach for future planning. Your main responsibilities will be:

• Translate growth scenarios into future utility demand forecasts
• Assess current utility infrastructure, performance, and available capacity
• Identify capacity gaps, constraints, and decision trigger points
• Develop future infrastructure scenarios and spatial planning concepts
• Evaluate investment needs, sustainability considerations, and total cost of ownership
• Enhance and further develop the existing utility dashboard and reporting structure
• Present data-driven recommendations for future capacity and infrastructure decisions

This is a master’s internship for minimum 5 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of February 2027.
