AI Engineering Co-Op
Emerson•Marshalltown, IA
•Onsite
About The Position
This role involves embedding with engineering teams to observe and document current workflows, identify opportunities for AI automation, and design, prototype, and deploy AI agents and workflow automations. The co-op will also be responsible for building feedback loops, translating complex processes into AI-ready specifications, and documenting solutions. The goal is to automate engineering-specific tasks such as design review assistance, test coverage analysis, documentation generation, and simulation result summarization.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
- Hands-on experience (coursework or projects) building with LLMs and AI agent frameworks
- Strong curiosity about how engineers work — you'll need to ask smart questions and translate domain knowledge into software
- Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable interviewing experts and presenting findings
Nice To Haves
- Solid Python skills; comfortable building and deploying scripts and small applications
- Experience with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Power Automate) or RAG pipelines
- Experience with version control (Git), REST APIs, and basic cloud infrastructure
Responsibilities
- Embed with engineering teams to observe and document current workflows — from requirements capture through design, simulation, testing, and release
- Partner with experienced engineers and subject matter experts to identify high-value opportunities for AI automation and agentic assistance
- Design, prototype, and deploy AI agents and workflow automations tailored to engineering-specific tasks (e.g., design review assistance, test coverage analysis, documentation generation, simulation result summarization)
- Build feedback loops — collect structured input from engineering users, measure impact, and iterate on solutions based on real usage
- Translate complex engineering processes into clear problem statements and AI-ready specifications
- Document your solutions, findings, and recommendations so work can be handed off and scaled
