Introduction

Are you a bachelor or master student in Information Technology, Computer Science or other related technical studies, looking for a bachelor graduation or master apprentice internship? Does scripting interest you? Do you have working knowledge in python and Qt? Then this internship might be interesting to you!

Background information

ASML machine has hundreds of applications for calibrating, measuring performance, and diagnosing the system; the so-called CPD (Calibration - Performance - Diagnostics) software.To guarantee the same look and feel and way of working, these applications all make use of the same framework.The current framework is based on python and make use the default Tcl/Tk UI technology.
For other applications, ASML is moving to Qt as the main UI technology.It is interesting to study the feasibility of moving theframework used for CPD also to Qt with the following goals in mind:

Your Assignment

The task is to perform a feasibility study on replacing the current Tcl/Tk UI technology used within the CPD framework and replacing it with Qt.Qt company has made python binding for Qt available: pyside2 that is suitable for this study.

The study should answer the following questions:
1. Feasibility of pyside2 to be integrated with the current CPD framework (amount of work, architectural impact, amount and design of code, etc.)
2. Whether the same look-and-feel can be achieved using Qt (pyside2) as with the Tcl/Tk
3. Compare the performance of the Qt-based UI against the original Tcl/Tkwith regards to UI build-up, responsiveness, etc.
4. What is the software impact of migrating the UI technology (how many source code need to be touched)
5. Feasibility of using squish to do automatic UI testing once the application is migrated to use Qt (pyside2)
The study should take the form of Proof-of-Concept by migrating (at least) one of the CPD application to the new UI technology; When proven feasible, present the amount of work spent, and use this information to estimate impact and amount of work to perform total migration. These should be welly documented with technical details.
The study will be done on ASML's development and execution platform, in particular the ones based on RHEL8 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8).

ASML - be part of progress 

ASML is a high-tech company headquartered in the Netherlands. We manufacture the complex lithography machines that chipmakers use to produce integrated circuits, or computer chips. What we do is at the heart of all the electronic devices that keep us informed, entertained and connected. Every day, you use electronics that simply wouldn’t exist without our machines. 

Behind ASML’s innovations are engineers who think ahead. The people who work at our company include some of the most creative minds in physics, electrical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, mechatronics, optics, mechanical engineering, computer science and many more non-technical related employees. 

We believe we can always do better. We believe the winning idea can come from anyone. We love what we do – not because it’s easy, but because it’s hard. 

Students - getting ready for the real world 

We’re a global team of about 40,000 people of 120 different nationalities and counting. Headquartered in Europe’s top tech hub, the Brainport Eindhoven region in the Netherlands, our operations are spread across Europe, Asia and the US.

In such an environment, your colleagues may be sitting next door, or they could be thousands of kilometers away in a different country – or even working for a different company. 

An internship at ASML is the opportunity to get to know not only the world of the semiconductor industry, but yourself – you’ll discover just what excites you most. Will you design a part of the machine, or make sure it gets built to the tightest possible specifications? Will you write software that drives the system to its best performance, or work side-by-side with the engineers of our customers in a fab, optimizing a system to the requirements of the customer? Anything is possible! 

How will you be part of progress?
