The P&PM Automation and Digitalization team explores new technologies that can improve quality, efficiency, and traceability in ASML’s manufacturing processes. The team evaluates solutions used by suppliers and investigates challenges on the shop floor that may benefit from automation. As part of this work, the team is introducing its first automated inspection cobot to assess how robotic inspection can support production. This internship will help validate the system and determine where it can strengthen or replace manual inspection tasks. You will contribute to shaping future inspection methods within ASML. You will work with a new automated inspection cobot that is being tested for use in ASML’s high-tech manufacturing environment. You will explore how well the cobot detects contamination and mechanical defects, and you will assess where robotic inspection can support existing workflows. You will collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to identify opportunities and understand practical constraints. Your main responsibilities will be: * Develop and execute a structured validation plan for the automated inspection cobot * Test repeatability, robustness, and detection performance on real ASML components * Assess detection accuracy for scratches, contamination, discoloration, or mechanical deviations * Identify system limitations and propose improvements * Explore potential use cases with stakeholders across the organization * Evaluate workflow impact and operator interaction for each use case * Document findings and create recommendations for future deployment
