Computer Science Internship in Continuous Integration Pipelines

Introduction

Are you a student with an educational background in Computer Science or Software Engineering? Do you enjoy programming in Python? Are you familiar with GitHub? Then this internship might be interesting to you!

Background Information

Metrology leveling is a department within the Metrology & Machine Control cluster at ASML. The department is responsible for the software in ASML's lithography machines to ensure that materials (wafers) are placed in the best focus of the lens of a lithography machine. The software code base of the Metrology leveling department is written in C, C++, and Python and consists of about 1.1 million lines of code. The software code base is split into about 125 functional software components.

Your Assignment

Almost each software component has automated tests. These tests are run on a periodic basis and are executed in Google's Cloud platform. However, frequent testing leads to a considerable amount of resources and time being needed, which can become substantial and can lead to more costs than budgeted for using Google Cloud services. This is partly tackled by a test selection mechanism that aims to select only relevant tests for the code changes that have been done. However, this test selection is coarse (only based on the changed software components). In the recent past, work has been done to explore test runtime forecasting, outcome correlation, and predictive test selection (to perform test prioritization) using machine learning. The goal of this assignment is to build upon this work and deploy it in Metrology Leveling's continuous integration pipelines.

Your Profile

To be a perfect match for this internship, you:

• Have a background in computer science, software engineering, or a related study background.

• Have programming skills in Python.
• Are familiar with modern software development tools (like GitHub).
• Are not afraid to learn and ask questions.
• Are solution-oriented and have a hands-on mentality.
• Have good communication skills in English (verbal and written).

Other Requirements

• You are available for at least 3 days a week, and for a duration of 6-9 months.
• You are enrolled at a school for the entire duration of the internship.
• You need to be located in the Netherlands to perform your internship. If you are currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, please include in your CV/motivation letter your willingness to relocate.

Other Information

Change the world – one nanometer at a time. Become an intern at a Dutch company that’s a global industry leader. You’ll gain valuable experience in a highly innovative environment – one that sparks your imagination and creativity. In addition to a monthly internship allowance of up to €600 (plus a possible housing and free public transport), you’ll get practical guidance from experts in the field and the chance to work in and experience a dynamic team environment.

ASML - be part of progress. ASML is a high-tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. We manufacture the complex lithography machines that chipmakers use to produce integrated circuits, or computer chips. What we do is at the heart of all the electronic devices that keep us informed, entertained, and connected. Every day, you use electronics that simply wouldn’t exist without our machines.

Behind ASML’s innovations are engineers who think ahead. The people who work at our company include some of the most creative minds in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, mechatronics, optics, mechanical engineering, computer science, and fields which are not technically oriented.

We believe we can always do better. We believe the winning idea can come from anyone. We love what we do – not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard.

Students - Getting Ready for Real-World R&D

We’re a global team of about 39,000 people of 140 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia, and the US.

In such an environment, your colleagues may be sitting next door, or they could be thousands of kilometers away in a different country – or even working for a different company.

An internship at ASML is the opportunity to get to know not only the world of industrial-strength R&D, but yourself – you’ll discover just what excites you most. Will you design a part of the machine, or make sure it gets built to the tightest possible specifications? Will you write software that drives the system to its best performance, or work side-by-side with the engineers of our customers in a fab, optimizing a system to the requirements of the customer?

How will you be part of progress?
