A DAY IN THE LIFE:

The AI Test Automation Intern will join the Systems Integration & Test organization and contribute to the development of AI powered test and analysis tools used to improve software quality, system reliability, and security posture. This role is intended for a student with a background or strong interest in AI/ML engineering and cybersecurity, who is excited to apply these skills to automated test systems, code analysis, and large scale test result data. The intern will work alongside test automation, systems, and security engineers to help design and prototype tools that detect trends, anomalies, and potential risks in test execution and code artifacts—while ensuring alignment with cybersecurity and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices. The position emphasizes hands on development, experimentation, and prototyping, rather than traditional manual testing or heavy documentation.

AI Test Automation Interns are also responsible for:

• Design and develop AI‑assisted tools or prototypes to analyze:
  • Automated test results (e.g., failures, instability, regressions, soak trends)
  • Logs, metrics, and system telemetry
  • Source code or test scripts for patterns, risks, or quality gaps
• Apply machine learning, statistical analysis, or heuristic techniques to identify anomalies, trends, or signals that are difficult to detect with traditional rule‑based approaches
• Assist in integrating AI‑driven analysis into existing test automation pipelines or workflows
• Explore approaches for automated test prioritization, failure clustering, or root‑cause hints
• Collaborate with cybersecurity and systems teams to ensure AI tools:
  • Follow approved data‑handling and access controls
  • Do not expose proprietary, regulated, or sensitive information
  • Align with internal cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory expectations
• Help evaluate AI tool outputs for accuracy, explainability, and usefulness in a regulated testing environment
• Implement proof‑of‑concept scripts, services, or utilities to support experimentation
• Document technical designs, assumptions, and limitations at a level appropriate for engineering handoff and compliance review
• Use standard development tools (Git, IDEs, issue tracking) to manage work
• Ensures compliance with company policies, including Privacy/HIPAA, and other legal and regulatory requirements.
• Performs other duties as assigned.
