Product Sustainability Intern

Company Overview

Job Description/Preferred Qualifications

We are seeking a highly motivated intern to support the development of a data visualization and integration framework linking product Bill of Materials (BOM) structures to sales order configurations for the purpose of performing tool-level Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

This project will improve our ability to calculate the environmental impact of configured semiconductor tools by connecting engineering BOM data with commercial sales configurations enabling more accurate and scalable product carbon footprint analysis.

This is a high-visibility project with cross-functional exposure to Engineering Sustainability IT and Commercial Operations.

Key Responsibilities
Analyze and map product Bill of Materials (BOM) structures across selected tool platforms
Develop a visualization model to:
Display hierarchical BOM architecture
Identify configurable modules and options
Highlight environmental impact drivers (mass materials energy components)
Create a framework to interface BOM data with sales order configurations
Support development of logic to:
Map configured sales orders to material content
Enable tool-specific Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) modeling
Assist in identifying data gaps and inconsistencies impacting LCA accuracy
Collaborate with Engineering PLM ERP Sustainability and IT teams
Document system architecture and recommend scalable improvements
Present findings and prototype tools to leadership



Project Objectives

By the end of the internship the intern will aim to:
1. Develop a working visualization of a selected tool BOM
2. Demonstrate traceability between sales order configurations and material content
3. Create a prototype framework enabling automated LCA inputs at tool level
4. Provide recommendations for enterprise-scale implementation

Desired Qualifications
