Software Engineering Intern

KION Group•Grand Rapids, MI

About The Position

Join Dematic as a Software Engineering AI Intern and contribute to cutting-edge logistics and material handling projects that power global supply chains. We are seeking a motivated AI Engineer Intern to help design and build applied AI prototypes that solve real‑world engineering productivity problems. This role is ideal for a student who enjoys working independently, experimenting with AI/ML and LLM‑based solutions, and transforming ambiguous problem statements into working proofs of concept (POCs) and demos. The intern will focus on narrowly scoped, high‑impact AI projects such as AI‑assisted log analysis and internal knowledge assistants. The work will produce reusable artifacts (code, demos, documentation) and provide hands‑on exposure to applied AI system design in an enterprise engineering environment.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI/ML, or a related field
Solid programming skills in Python (or similar languages used for AI development)
Fundamental understanding of AI/ML concepts (e.g., supervised vs unsupervised learning, embeddings, NLP basics)
Familiarity with modern AI tools or frameworks (e.g., LLMs, vector databases, open‑source ML libraries)
Ability to break down a problem and work independently with minimal supervision
Strong communication skills and ability to explain technical ideas clearly

Responsibilities

Designing and implementing AI/ML or LLM‑based proof‑of‑concept solutions
Working with structured and unstructured data (logs, documentation, text)
Experimenting with techniques such as embeddings, clustering, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), and summarization
Writing clean, understandable code and lightweight documentation
Demonstrating results through clear demos, notebooks, or simple user interfaces
Communicating progress, findings, and limitations effectively
