AI Research and Development Internship

Primary Title: AI Research Intern (best-performing standardized title: AI Research Intern)

About the Opportunity
We operate in the Artificial Intelligence research & development sector, delivering cutting-edge ML and deep learning solutions for applied research projects and prototyping. This on-site internship is based in Australia and offers hands-on R&D experience inside a collaborative engineering and research environment.

Role & Responsibilities

Design & Engineering

1. AI-aided CAD design

• Automate component layout, wire routing, and panel configuration using AI-driven CAD tools.
• Optimize for space, cost, and thermal performance.

1. Product configuration tools

• Use AI to create smart configurators that help your sales team or clients design custom panels quickly.

1. Predictive load and fault simulations

• Simulate and analyze load scenarios using AI models to reduce overdesign and improve safety.

Manufacturing & Production

1. Predictive maintenance of machinery

• Use sensors + AI to predict breakdowns in CNC machines, punch presses, or other equipment.

1. Inventory forecasting

• AI can forecast raw material needs, avoiding both overstock and shortages.

1. Quality control via computer vision

• Implement AI-powered cameras to inspect panel wiring, enclosure finish, and assembly accuracy.

1. Production scheduling optimization

• AI can balance workloads, minimize downtime, and dynamically adjust schedules based on supply or workforce availability.

Business & Operations

1. Sales forecasting

• Use historical data + external indicators (market trends, seasonality) to predict future demand.

1. Quote generation automation

• AI can analyze past pricing, components, and labor to instantly generate accurate quotes.

1. Document & spec sheet generation

• Automatically create datasheets, compliance documents, or wiring diagrams from order inputs.

1. Energy consumption optimization

• Track your factory’s energy usage and let AI recommend energy-saving changes.

Customer Experience

1. Chatbots for customer support

• Use AI to answer FAQs, share product specs, or assist in troubleshooting basic panel issues.

1. Smart project tracking dashboards

• Let AI summarize project statuses, flag delays, or predict overruns.

1. Personalized marketing

• Use AI to analyze client behavior and send tailored emails or promotions.

Inspection & Compliance

1. Automated compliance checklists

• AI can cross-check panel designs against IEC or UL standards before production starts.

1. Post-installation data logging & analysis

• Offer AI-powered monitoring dashboards for end users, helping them detect abnormal patterns.

Skills & Qualifications

Must-Have

• Enrolled in or recently graduated from a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, AI, or related field.
• Proficient in Python and experienced with at least one deep-learning framework (PyTorch or TensorFlow).
• Solid understanding of ML/DL fundamentals (training, validation, overfitting, optimisation) and common evaluation metrics.
• Eligible to work in Australia or hold an appropriate visa that permits on-site internship work.

Preferred

• Prior hands-on projects or coursework involving model training, hyperparameter tuning, or research-oriented experiments.
• Familiarity with experiment tracking, containerisation basics, and collaborative tools (Git, Jupyter, Linux/CLI).

Benefits & Culture Highlights

• Mentorship from experienced AI researchers and engineers with exposure to end-to-end R&D workflows.
• Hands-on projects with clear opportunities to contribute to publishable research or product prototypes.
• Collaborative, learning-focused on-site environment designed to accelerate technical growth and career readiness.
