Nittany AI Advance Internship - Multiple Opportunities
About The Position
The Nittany AI Alliance at The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) is looking for talented and driven PSU undergraduate students to join its Advance program as a Data Scientist, Front-end Developer, and Back-end Developer. Advance interns will work on AI-related projects in an Agile software development team, collaborating with data scientists, software developers, a scrum master, and product owners, gaining hands-on experience that enhances their learning and marketability. Selected candidates will assist with the creation of prototypes leveraging artificial intelligence and drive the design of related cognitive modules. Specifically, the Data Scientist will research state-of-the-art algorithms in machine learning to identify viable project approaches, design prototypes that connect data sources to a concrete use case and develop code to test the efficacy and efficiency of algorithms against real-world data. The Front-End Developer will build upon wireframes and concepts created by a UX Designer leveraging technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They will produce, modify, and maintain web application user interfaces. They will work with Data Scientists in back-end design, collaborating on APIs, data structure, and data integration. They will maintain software workflow, versioning, and testing during development and address any bugs. They will document all code according to common development best practices and create technical documentation of project work to facilitate knowledge sharing. The Back-End Developer will research state-of-the-art algorithms in machine learning to identify viable project approaches, design prototypes that connect data sources to a concrete use case and develop code to build and improve upon a prototype optical character recognition and natural language processing solution.
