OfficeJob Description
Help us use generative AI to understand and modernize a life sciences application.
How can AI help engineers understand an established software application and build its next generation? In this internship, you’ll explore that question through a practical software engineering project.
You’ll investigate an existing life sciences application, organize knowledge about how it works, and use that knowledge to help AI agents support software modernization. You’ll then apply your approach to a focused feature and contribute to a working proof of concept.
The project
You’ll explore how to bring together information from source code, documentation, tests, and other engineering materials. Using techniques such as static analysis, knowledge graphs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and generative AI, you’ll help create a structured view of the application and its behavior.
You’ll use this knowledge to help AI agents answer questions, identify the impact of changes, and support development. To demonstrate the approach, you’ll help modernize a session setup feature, following it from the user interface through configuration, application logic, validation, and data storage.
Your profile
You are a bachelor’s graduate, a master’s student, or a master’s graduate in computer science, software engineering, artificial intelligence, or a related field.

What you’ll gain
You’ll gain hands-on experience applying AI to a real software engineering challenge. You’ll learn how to investigate a complex life sciences application and contribute to a proof of concept for modernizing it.

Makes lab instruments, reagents and supplies
Thermo Fisher Scientific makes and sells the instruments, chemicals, consumables and lab services that drug companies, hospitals, universities and industrial labs use for research, testing and production. Its products cover work from gene sequencing and protein analysis to diagnostic tests and lab freezers, and its distribution arm ships supplies to labs worldwide. Drug developers also hire it to run clinical trials and to manufacture medicines under contract. It earns money from consumables that labs buy again and again, along with instrument sales, service contracts and outsourcing fees. The company traces its roots to Thermo Electron, founded in 1956, which merged with Fisher Scientific in 2006, and it is based in Waltham, Massachusetts.
