Internship: AI Tool Development - Innovation Engineering
Join Philips as an AI Tool Development Intern and play a critical role in optimizing engineering workflows that advance our health technology solutions. Over 6-12 months, you will collaborate at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and systems engineering, developing tools that accelerate development cycles, and drive technical excellence across Philips. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, collaborate with diverse teams, and contribute to innovative solutions at a global organization.

Your role:
* Analyze Systems Engineering Processes: Collaborate with systems engineers to identify manual, time-consuming technical processes (e.g., Requirements Analysis and Management, Verification and Validation (V&V), Risk Management, Knowledge Management etc) that can be improved with AI solutions.
* Develop AI tool Prototypes: Design and develop software prototypes and AI models (e.g., using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs)) to automate or assist with systems engineering tasks.
* Implement Tools: Write clean, efficient, and testable code (primarily in Python) to integrate AI components into existing systems engineering tools and platforms, ensuring compliance with security and governance standards.
* Data Analysis & Model Optimization: Participate in the data collection, cleaning, and pre-processing stages, and assist in fine-tuning AI models for specific domain-related tasks.
* Testing & Validation: Assist in testing and evaluating developed AI tools to ensure they meet performance metrics and functional requirements.
* Documentation & Reporting: Maintain detailed documentation of AI model development, system architecture, and operational procedures, and prepare reports summarizing research outcomes.
* Innovation: Continuously explore emerging AI technologies and research, and recommend enhancements to standard processes.

You're the right fit if:
* Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field.
* Intermediate programming experience in Python is essential, with familiarity with AI/ML frameworks.
* Understanding of AI/ML concepts, including familiarity with Retrival-augmented generation, data processing, data governance, model building, and performance metrics.
* Familiarity with the software development lifecycle and agile methodologies.
* Strong problem-solving skills, a proactive attitude, and excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
* You're a self-starter who takes initiative, manages your time effectively, and can work independently while knowing when to seek guidance.

You need to provide a rental contract of the land lord, and your normal home-work travel distance need to be more than 50 km or travel time (one way trip) need to be more than 1.5 hours.
