About The Position

Coretek is seeking an AI & Data Automation Co-Op to help build AI and automation solutions that address real business challenges. The co-op works with teams across the company to understand their needs, optimize workflows and operational processes, and develop solutions that can be tested, refined, and deployed reliably. The role offers hands-on experience across Microsoft’s AI and automation ecosystem, including Azure AI, Copilot Studio, Power Automate, Power BI, Microsoft Teams, and Salesforce, as well as exposure to the full lifecycle of developing and deploying AI-powered business solutions in a consulting environment. Successful candidates treat measurable impact, such as time or effort saved, as part of solution design; persist through iterations to improve AI accuracy; and document work so it remains useful after the co-op ends.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Business Administration (Technology & Operations), Information Systems, or a related field.
• Basic understanding of AI concepts and frameworks, such as large language models, Azure AI, or Copilot Studio.
• Comfort working through ambiguity and developing solutions iteratively as requirements and constraints become clearer.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, particularly when working with financial, sales, or client-facing data.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work across teams with varying technical backgrounds.
• Self-motivated, with the ability to own a project from prototype through testing, documentation, and deployment.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt to shifting priorities in a dynamic environment.

Nice To Haves

• Exposure to automation platforms such as Power Automate, UiPath, or Automation Anywhere; Microsoft Cloud technologies such as Azure or Copilot Studio; or programming languages such as Python, C#, or Java.
• Power usage of coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.

Responsibilities

• Partner with business stakeholders across departments to identify processes suited to automation and scope solutions around their needs.
• Design, build, and refine automation and AI-agent solutions from initial prototypes through stable, deployable solutions.
• Apply generative AI models, prompt design, conversational agents, and other AI techniques to automate and improve business processes.
• Test and validate solutions against real data and edge cases, addressing inaccuracies in AI output before deployment.
• Communicate technical work to non-technical stakeholders, including estimating and reporting time or effort saved.
• Document workflows, architecture, and design decisions so others can maintain, extend, or take over the solution.
• Collaborate with interns and team members to share ideas and troubleshoot challenges in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Research emerging AI and automation technologies and share relevant findings with the team.
