The role will challenge you to derive meaningful insights from data, build dashboards, and identify process improvement opportunities through automation.

This internship is ideal for students interested in automation, data science, machine learning, generative AI, and modern workflow engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with analysts to gather requirements, document process definitions, and design automation solutions.
• Assist in evaluating and prioritizing automation opportunities.
• Apply RPA technologies (UiPath/Blue Prism) to automate business processes and support development lifecycles.
• Conduct data collection, cleaning, and analysis to drive insights for business process improvements.
• Utilize process mining techniques to analyze and optimize business processes.
• Develop visually compelling reports and dashboards to communicate insights to stakeholders.
• Support the design and implementation of machine learning models to enhance automation capabilities.
• Research and stay updated on new technologies in the intelligent automation ecosystem.
• Provide documentation of automation processes and participate in design and code reviews.
• Support analytics and automation teams with project management and coordination.

Process & Automation Development

• Assist analysts and team members in gathering basic requirements and documenting process steps.
• Support the design of simple automation workflows using RPA tools (UiPath/Blue Prism) under guidance from senior developers.
• Help build small components of automations and learn how they connect with AI agents or LLM‑powered features.
• Participate in testing, debugging, and deploying automations by following established checklists and instructions.
• Learn best practices for maintaining and improving automations through hands‑on coaching and peer reviews.

AI, Agents & Prompt Engineering

• Apply prompt engineering techniques to design, refine, and validate prompts that power LLM features and AI-driven automation.
• Assist in building and configuring AI agents for reasoning, task automation, and workflow orchestration.
• Implement agentic automation patterns, including guardrails, monitoring, safe delegation, and autonomous task execution.
• Review model outputs for clarity and accuracy, escalating issues such as hallucinations or unexpected responses.

Process Intelligence & Data Insights

• Collect, clean, and analyze data to surface automation opportunities and process optimization insights.
• Use process mining and task mining tools to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
• Build stakeholder‑facing dashboards and visualizations (Insights).
• Assist with portions of ML or AI‑powered automation experiments by preparing data or running predefined scripts.

Collaboration, Documentation & Delivery

• Document automation steps, prompts, testing results, and agent behavior using team templates and examples.
• Participate in design reviews and team discussions as a listener and contributor, offering observations and asking clarifying questions.
• Support project coordination tasks such as tracking updates, preparing slide decks, or organizing documentation.
• Stay curious and proactive in learning about new tools, AI capabilities, and trends in intelligent automation.

Qualifications:
