Job summary

The Nuclear Company in Washington DC is seeking an AI/ML Engineer Intern to work on the Platform Integration & AI/Data squad, focusing on LLM-driven workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, and agents that operate against NOS data. You will work alongside full-time engineers and nuclear domain experts, shipping real models to production.

This six-month co-op runs August–December 2026, fully on-site in DC, with housing and relocation provided for co-ops outside the DC metro area.

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a BS in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• Available for a full six-month term and returning to school afterward.
• Strong Python fundamentals and hands-on exposure to modern ML and LLM tooling (PyTorch, Hugging Face, or similar).
• This position requires U.S. export controls access; U.S. Person status is required and visa sponsorship is not provided.
• Willing and able to work on-site in Washington DC, five days a week, for the full six-month term.

Responsibilities

• Ship ML and AI features inside NOS applications teams use every day: site evaluation, red flag analysis, scheduling, lessons learned, and the stakeholder and project tools running across active TNC projects.
• Build AI agents and agent workflows that operate against NOS data and tools, including MCP interfaces and tool-use frameworks they depend on.
• Develop data pipelines and integrations across Palantir Foundry, AWS GovCloud, and more — and contribute to the data ontology so models and agents can use NOS data reliably.
• Build predictive and anomaly-detection models that support operations and engineering decisions, including time-series analysis of sensor and operational data from active projects.
• Help own model quality end-to-end: eval criteria, acceptance thresholds, and regression suites that keep NOS audit-ready and results reproducible; triage issues and root-cause failures.
