Electrical Engineering internship: remote jtag access over ethernet

Introduction The Generic Design Blocks team is part of the Motion Control cluster at ASML. You will work in a group that builds reusable FPGA design modules used across advanced lithography systems. This internship focuses on enabling remote access to FPGA debug interfaces. Your work will help engineers collaborate more efficiently and reduce development time. As part of this internship, you will contribute to a practical solution with real impact on engineering workflows. Your assignment In this internship, you will design and implement a system that enables remo FPGA programming and debugging over a network. The goal is to replace physical access with a flexible remote solution that works on multiple operating systems. Your work will support typical FPGA development workflows and improve accessibility for engineers worldwide. Your main responsibilities will be: Design a solution to access FPGA debug interfaces over Ethernet Develop a host-side interface compatible with FPGA development software Implement an embedded server to control FPGA communication signals Enable reliable data exchange between host system and embedded target Test the system across Windows and Linux environments Validate functionality with programming and debug use cases Document the solution for future reuse and scaling This is a bachelor/masters thesis/non-thesis internship for 6 months, 5 days per week (3 days on-site). The start date of this internship is as of September 2026. Your profile To be suitable for the internship, you: Are studying for a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, embedded systems, or software engineering Have basic knowledge of FPGA concepts and digital design Have experience with programming in C, C++, or similar languages Are analytical and able to solve technical problems independently Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively with others This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.
