- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills. Comfortable with technology and able to learn new software tools quickly. Some familiarity with programming or scripting (e.g., Python, Java, or similar) and data handling.
- Good interpersonal and communication skills. Ability to work effectively in a team environment, ask questions, and present findings or suggestions clearly.
- Ability to commit approximately 24 hours per week for a 12-month internship.Must be able to work on-site in Auburn Hills, MI for one to two days per week (with the remaining hours worked remotely).
- Assist in designing, building, and testing AI agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio. You will help create custom AI assistants (chatbots) that improve internal processes and solve business problems.
- Work closely with the Transformation and Aftermarket teams to implement new agent features and refine existing ones. This includes brainstorming ideas for agent capabilities and participating in solution design discussions.
- Support integration of internal data sources and APIs to ensure agents are providing accurate, context-aware responses. Help configure connectors or datasets for the AI agents as needed.
- Conduct thorough testing of AI agent interactions. Identify and document any issues or “edge cases,” and collaborate on debugging or refining the agent’s performance (e.g., improving prompts, refining logic).
