AI Internship (Software, Electrical, Industrial or Computer Engineering)

Job Title

AI Internship (Software, Electrical, Industrial or Computer Engineering)

Role Summary

Join the Analog Competency Center to develop and prototype a machine learning and computer-vision system that helps debug and categorize integrated circuit (IC) field failures. The role focuses on turning failure reports and images into structured data and models that support root-cause analysis.

Experience Level

Entry-level internship targeted at final-year students (Master's). Full-time, 6-month assignment suitable as a thesis/graduation project.

Responsibilities

The intern will work on data-driven methods and prototypes to analyze IC field failures. Typical tasks include:

• Gather requirements for IC field-failure root-cause characterization.
• Conduct literature survey to assess state of the art and identify innovation opportunities.
• Develop preliminary data mining and analysis techniques for failure reports.
• Implement NLP and image classification/segmentation agents applied to failure reports and images.
• Train models on a subset of failures and evaluate categorization performance for larger datasets.

Requirements

Key practical skills and criteria for candidates.

• Affinity with Python and experience in Python-based development.
• Practical experience or coursework in data analysis, machine learning model training, and basic computer vision or NLP techniques.
• Ability to communicate clearly in English (meetings, presentations, documentation).
• Available to work full time (40 hours per week) for the internship duration.
• Nice to have: familiarity with CMOS circuits and experience with data labeling or image annotation workflows.

Education Requirements

Targeted at final-year Master of Science students in Software, Electrical, Industrial, or Computer Engineering (Master's level / last year of engineering school). Candidates must be registered as students for the entire internship. Relevant academic background: strong foundations in machine learning, computer vision, neural networks, generative AI, and natural language processing. Familiarity with CMOS circuits is a plus. The assignment may also be suitable as a thesis/graduation project.
