Industrial Engineering | Business Analytics internship: process improvement

Introduction

The Global Support Center EUV at ASML supports advanced lithography systems that operate in semiconductor fabs worldwide. Within this organization, the EUV Continuous Improvement team focuses on improving how support work is performed across teams and locations. This internship contributes to that mission by bringing structure and clarity to existing ways of working. You will help document, challenge, and improve processes that support a more proactive and predictable operation. The role is based in the Netherlands and embedded in a highly international environment.

Your assignment

During this internship, you will work closely with experienced engineers and improvement leads on day-to-day process challenges. Your focus is on understanding how work is currently performed and helping define clearer, more efficient processes. You will do the detailed analysis and preparation work, while senior team members guide and review your output. Your main responsibilities will be:

• Map and document existing team processes and ways of working

• Analyze current workflows and identify unnecessary steps or inefficiencies

• Challenge established routines and support the definition of standard processes

• Support improvement initiatives with structured analysis and clear summaries

• Contribute ideas for process automation and workflow optimization

• Create practical process documentation and use cases for daily operations

• Build basic dashboards or reports to support process visibility, when required

This is a bachelor or master internship (open to thesis students) for minimum 6 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days on-site). It is projected to start at the end of August 2026, though an earlier start from July onwards is possible.
