Stochastic Acoustic Modeling Internship

ASML; Eindhoven; On-site; EUR 13,000 - 20,000; Full time

Job summary

ASML invites a master’s student to join the Mechanical Development and System Dynamics team in Veldhoven for a master’s thesis internship. You will extend a reduced-order acoustic modeling framework by adding stochastic sources, combining theory, simulation, and experimental validation to improve distortion modeling in lithography systems.

The role emphasizes literature review, model development, and validation against measurements, with a flexible start date from October 2026 and a minimum 9

Qualifications

• Pursuing a master’s degree in applied physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• Strong interest in computational acoustics and acoustic modeling.
• Basic knowledge of numerical methods and simulation techniques.
• Experience with MATLAB is preferred.
• Ability to communicate effectively in English.

Responsibilities

• Conduct literature review on stochastic acoustic source modeling.
• Develop modal descriptions for stochastic acoustic sources.
• Investigate modeling approaches for point, line, and surface sources.
• Implement stochastic source representations within a reduced-order framework.
• Create and evaluate a modal stochastic source matrix.
• Compare simulation results with experimental measurements.
• Document findings and provide recommendations for future development.
