Mechanical Engineering | Industrial Engineering internship: mechanical joining decision guide

Job description

Introduction Within ASML’s development environment in Veldhoven, teams design complex products that require reliable mechanical connections. In this internship you will help improve early design choices for joining methods. Many techniques exist, but a clear, structured overview for first selection is missing. You will create guidance that supports designers and suppliers in making informed decisions. This internship contributes to better design quality, lower risk, and improved manufacturability. Your assignment: In this internship you will analyze mechanical joining techniques and translate your findings into a practical decision guide. You will combine technical research with structured thinking to support early design decisions. The goal is to create a clear and usable guideline that complements existing detailed documentation. Your main responsibilities will be: Identify and compare mechanical joining techniques used in industry Map which techniques are covered by existing guidelines and which are not Analyze design impact, including tolerances, processing steps, and product risks Evaluate manufacturability, assembly impact, and supplier feasibility Assess risks, lead times, a...
