Electrical Engineering | Computer Engineering internship: test bench automation FPGA

Introduction
----------------

The Electronics Development team in Veldhoven supports advanced hardware platforms used in high\-precision systems. In this internship, you help improve how FPGA\-based boards are tested and validated. Your work focuses on building automation that increases efficiency and consistency in testing. This internship offers hands\-on experience at the intersection of software and digital hardware. You will collaborate with engineers who design and validate complex electronic systems.

Your assignment
-------------------

In this assignment, you design and demonstrate a Python\-based automated test bench solution. You focus on reducing manual effort while improving repeatability and scalability of tests. You will work with a simulated or real device and show measurable improvements over manual testing. Your main responsibilities will be:

• Design and build a Python script that automates test execution


• Enable communication with a device through common interfaces such as serial or network


• Implement structured logging of test data in formats such as CSV or JSON


• Develop reliable error handling and retry mechanisms for robust execution


• Create configurable test flows, including batch runs or parameter sweeps


• Validate and check consistency of collected data


• Document the solution, including system design and usage instructions

This is a bachelor/master internship for minimum 6 months, minimum 4 days per week (3 days on\-site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026 and is flexible.

Your profile
----------------

To be suitable for the internship, you:

• Are currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering


• Have experience with Python programming and structured code development


• Understand basic digital electronics or FPGA\-based systems


• Work in a structured and analytical way when solving technical problems


• Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively in a team environment

This internship gives you the opportunity to build practical solutions that improve engineering workflows. You gain experience that is directly relevant to testing complex electronic systems. By joining this assignment, you contribute to reliable and scalable validation approaches within ASML.

Other requirements you need to meet:

• You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship ;


• Attach your cover letter with a clear motivation why you are interested in this internship assignment in particular;
