Mechanical Engineering | Robotics internship cobot actuator applications

Introduction

The Actuator Tooling team at ASML develops solutions for manufacturing highprecision actuators used in advanced lithography systems. The team continuously improves efficiency repeatability and safety in both development and manufacturing this internship you will explore how collaborative robots can support actuator prototyping and production activities. Your work will help shape future automation concepts within ASML. This internship is based in Veldhoven.

Your assignment

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team working on the integration of collaborative robots in a highprecision environment. The focus is on applying robotic assistance to real actuator design and manufacturing challenges. You will work handson with concepts experiments and evaluations that support future industrial use.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Gathering requirements from stakeholders regarding safety performance and interfaces

• Designing concepts for cobotsupported actuator tasks

• Developing and validating a cobotenabled application

• Evaluating feasibility related to accuracy cycle time ergonomics and risks

• Running experiments to verify precision repeatability and robustness

• Analyzing results and translating findings into clear recommendations

• Creating a roadmap toward potential industrialization of the solution

This is a Bachelor or Master internship for minimum 6 months 5 days per week (3 days onsite). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026. It is possible to start this internship earlier.

Your profile

To be suitable for the internship you:

• Are enrolled in a bachelors or masters degree in mechanical engineering mechatronics robotics systems and control or industrial automation

• Enjoy handson work and exploring robotics in highprecision environments

• Are skilled in mechanical or robotic concept development
