You will learn how to understand complex operational challenges, identify the right AI opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions, and work across research, engineering, product, and domain expertise to deliver real-world impact. Throughout the internship, you will contribute across the AI solution lifecycle, from understanding problems and exploring technical approaches to building prototypes, evaluating AI models, and supporting production-ready solutions. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn how modern AI systems are developed and deployed in real-world environments.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with AI scientists and engineers to develop AI prototypes and proof-of concepts for real-world use cases.
• Explore and apply modern AI technologies, including large language models, computer vision, multimodal AI, AI agents, and modern AI engineering techniques.
• Build AI applications, intelligent workflows, and agentic systems using enterprise, operational, and multimodal data.
• Assist in evaluating, adapting, and integrating foundation models for domain-specific applications.
• Help translate ambiguous operational challenges into clear technical solutions with guidance from experienced team members.
• Contribute to AI experiments, model evaluation, benchmarking, and rapid prototyping.
• Collaborate with AI scientists, engineers, product managers, GTM teams, and domain experts throughout the solution development lifecycle.
• Contribute to technical documentation, demonstrations, presentations, and knowledge sharing.
• Continuously learn emerging AI technologies and explore how they can be applied to solve real-world problems.
• Any other adhoc tasks as assigned

Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree (senior undergraduate), Master's degree, or Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong programming skills in Python. Experience with PyTorch or similar machine learning frameworks is preferred.
• Technical background in one or more of the following areas: Machine Learning, Large Language Models, Computer Vision, Multimodal AI, Agentic Systems, Data Science and Software Engineering.
• Experience through coursework, research, personal projects, hackathons, or previous internships is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written, verbal, presentation, and communication skills.
• Curious, self-motivated, and eager to learn new technologies.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams.

What You'll Gain

During this internship, you will have the opportunity to:

• Work on meaningful AI projects that address real operational challenges across multiple industries.
• Learn from experienced AI scientists, engineers, and product leaders.
• Gain hands-on experience with foundation models, multimodal AI, AI agents, and modern AI engineering.
• Learn how AI solutions evolve from ambiguous real-world problems into production ready systems.
