Digital Twin Apps Intern: CAD/PLM & AI Validation

KLA; Ann Arbor Charter Township (MI); On-site; USD 33,000 - 44,000; Full time

Job summary

KLA in Ann Arbor, MI is seeking a Digital Twin Engineering Apps intern to support PLM process validation, testing, automation, and reporting. You'll gain hands-on exposure to CAD, MBSE, simulation, AI-assisted validation, and enterprise systems while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Ideal candidates are pursuing CS/IS/ME/Systems/Data Science degrees and have basic scripting skills (Python/JavaScript/SQL/TCL) and a keen eye for detail.

Responsibilities

• Validate technical and business process flows for system behavior, data accuracy, business rules, integrations, and digital continuity.
• Support functional, integration, regression, and UAT test cases for PLM, CAD integration, BOM, ECO/CO, MBSE, simulation, and 3D visualization.
• Prepare reusable test data for CAD files, part structures, BOM attributes, change objects, lifecycle states, simulation inputs, MBSE artifacts, and visualization scenarios.
• Capture clear test evidence, observations, results, and defect details to support timely review and resolution.
• Assist with defect reproduction, fix validation, regression testing, and closure confirmation.
• Validate PLM concepts including MBSE, simulation data, requirements traceability, product structure, change management, and 3D visualization use cases.
• Develop lightweight automation scripts using Python, JavaScript, SQL, TCL, or similar tools to reduce manual effort in validation, data comparison, regression testing, and technical process checks.
• Support automated reporting for test execution status, defect trends, validation exceptions, process gaps, and readiness indicators to improve project visibility.
• Use AI‑assisted methods to summarize requirements, draft validation steps, identify coverage gaps, detect defect patterns, and improve documentation.
• Participate in design walkthroughs, testing reviews, defect triage discussions, and stakeholder updates to clarify expected behavior, communicate findings clearly, and support timely issue resolution.
• Analyze test results, defect trends, validation exceptions, and process observations to identify recurring patterns, root cause indicators, improvement opportunities, and readiness risks.
• Prepare concise written summaries, dashboards, and status communications that translate technical findings into clear insights for IT, engineering, business, and project stakeholders.
