Human Resource Management internship: creating a competency-based framework

Beschreibung:

Introduction

The Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) department ensures smooth product transitions from development to high-volume manufacturing. We operate at the intersection of engineering, supply chain, and business, making sure new technologies are introduced efficiently and cost-effectively. Our work is essential to maintaining ASML's leadership in the semiconductor industry, where product complexity and time-to-market pressures continue to rise. By optimizing processes and resource allocation, PLM enables innovation at scale.

Your Assignment

You will take ownership of a strategic initiative aimed at improving how PLM Project Coordinators (PCs) are allocated to NPI and IB&S projects. The goal is to develop a competency-based framework that classifies projects and matches them with coordinators based on skills, experience, and stakeholder complexity. This assignment offers hands-on experience in organizational design, competency modeling, and strategic workforce planning within a high-tech environment. Key deliverables include:
* Develop a classification model for PLM projects based on required competencies.
* Identify key matching criteria such as:
* Number of stakeholders
* Size and scope of the PC role
* Maturity of suppliers and other stakeholders
* Communication dynamics (directive vs. self-driven environments)
* PGP maturity
* Apply the framework to existing PLM EXE projects and group them accordingly.
* Provide recommendations for improving future allocation decisions.

This is a (thesis) internship between 4 to 6 months. It requires an investment of 32-40 hours per week, out of which 3 days per week are onsite in Veldhoven. It is set to start in February 2026.
