Noélie Wojewoda at ASML: Finding joy in complexity
When Noélie Wojewoda started working at ASML in the Netherlands in 2007, she was one of the youngest in her group of immediate colleagues; she was also the only woman and the only foreigner. The petite French mechanical engineer, who grew up in the suburbs of Paris, had sought an internship to finish off her Master’s studies at INSA Lyon. Having been unable to find a suitable position in the US or the UK, she was offered an internship at Philips in Eindhoven. “I didn’t know anything about Eindhoven, but knew that this was a good opportunity, where I could practice my English and finalise my Master’s degree”.
