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
* AI-aided CAD design
* Automate component layout, wire routing, and panel configuration using AI-driven CAD tools.
* Optimize for space, cost, and thermal performance.
* Product configuration tools
* Use AI to create smart configurators that help your sales team or clients design custom panels quickly.
* Predictive load and fault simulations
* Simulate and analyze load scenarios using AI models to reduce overdesign and improve safety.
Manufacturing & Production
* Predictive maintenance of machinery
* Use sensors + AI to predict breakdowns in CNC machines, punch presses, or other equipment.
* Inventory forecasting
* AI can forecast raw material needs, avoiding both overstock and shortages.
* Quality control via computer vision
* Implement AI-powered cameras to inspect panel wiring, enclosure finish, and assembly accuracy.
* Production scheduling optimization
* AI can balance workloads, minimize downtime, and dynamically adjust schedules based on supply or workforce availability.
Business & Operations
* Sales forecasting
* Use historical data + external indicators (market trends, seasonality) to predict future demand.
* Quote generation automation
* AI can analyze past pricing, components, and labor to instantly generate accurate quotes.
* Document & spec sheet generation
* Automatically create datasheets, compliance documents, or wiring diagrams from order inputs.
* Energy consumption optimization
* Track your factory's energy usage and let AI recommend energy-saving changes.
Customer Experience
* Chatbots for customer support
* Use AI to answer FAQs, share product specs, or assist in troubleshooting basic panel issues.
* Smart project tracking dashboards
* Let AI summarize project statuses, flag delays, or predict overruns.
* Personalized marketing
* Use AI to analyze client behavior and send tailored emails or promotions.
Inspection & Compliance
* Automated compliance checklists
* AI can cross-check panel designs against IEC or UL standards before production starts.
* 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.
