# Physics | Optical Engineering internship: optical column optimization

Introduction The Optical Column department in Veldhoven develops advanced optical metrology systems that support chip manufacturing. In this internship, you will investigate opportunities to further improve optical metrology performance and reduce performance differences between systems. Depending on the assignment, your work may focus on hardware-related improvements within an optical column or on system-level investigations that leverage advanced measurement and data analysis capabilities. Reducing system-to-system variations helps customers achieve tighter process control and improves the value of ASML's metrology solutions in a highly competitive market. You will work closely with experienced engineers and contribute directly to the understanding and optimization of optical system performance. This Physics | Optical Engineering internship offers a unique opportunity to combine experimentation, data analysis, and engineering insights in a cutting-edge technological environment. Your assignment During this internship, you will help evaluate how changes in optical subsystems, system configurations, or operational approaches influence metrology performance.
