AI Engineer Intern

Job Description

If you are looking for an opportunity to work with the global Emerson Systems and Software organization, this is an exciting opportunity for you! As an AI Engineer Intern, you will gain hands-on experience in developing and validating a proof of concept for an AI-Powered Image Search system that can accurately identify an uploaded image and automatically retrieve relevant sales information based on the image’s recognized subject, category or context. The project will serve as both a learning opportunity and a contribution to the organization's AI projects. Emerson interns are given meaningful work, support, and mentorship from experienced managers and key business leaders. There is strong potential to gain knowledge and experience in a variety of ways by exploring opportunities aligned with your interests and academic background.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Designing and implementing a small-scale AI PoC using available internal datasets. The PoC will demonstrate the intern's understanding of basic AI concepts, computer vision models, and data structuring and tagging
• Applying image test models, organize and tag sales documents, and develop logic match image tags with collateral. This includes collecting and curating high-quality image dataset for testing and training.
• Exploring potential risks across the AI development pipeline, such as model input manipulation, insecure storage of models or data, and exposure of sensitive information during inference. These risks will be documented, and simple mitigations will be integrated into the PoC where applicable.
• delivering a working AI PoC that demonstrates the system’s ability to identify images and return relevant sales collateral. While the PoC is limited in scale, it reflects an understanding of image recognition development in AI contexts.
• Documenting the project journey, including lessons learned, tools used, key secure development practices applied, and potential areas for future enhancement. This serves as both a knowledge artifact and a reflection of the intern's growth.
