The Role  

Step into an exhilarating role as an AI Engineering Intern on our AI Engineering Team, where you'll architect and deploy groundbreaking machine learning (ML) and AI solutions that propel our organization forward. You'll be the driving force behind scalable ML models and cloud-based AI platforms, optimized for high-performance data pipelines that enable lightning-fast training and inference. But that's just the start, you'll pioneer agentic AI systems, orchestrating multi-agent workflows that leverage sub-agents for tasks like semantic search, data retrieval, and automated analysis, all integrated with ontology-driven knowledge bases for intelligent, persistent insights. 

Collaborate with visionary research, product, and cross-functional teams to infuse the latest ML and generative AI advancements - like large language models (LLMs), and agentic platforms, into our products and services. You'll craft personalized AI experiences, evolve reference architectures for cloud-native AI/ML, and ensure they embody cutting-edge standards. Plus, you’ll champion the adoption of these technologies organization-wide, empowering leaders and teams to slash costs, spark new revenue, and dominate markets - all while upholding top-tier quality, security, and compliance. 

Your mastery of cloud engineering, ML optimization, and collaborative innovation will unlock high-impact AI that cements our leadership. By weaving in agentic elements like sub-task orchestration, Knowledge Nodes for capturing and reusing insights, and artifact management for seamless workflows, you'll help deliver transformative products that redefine what's possible and secure our competitive edge.
