Associate Computer Science Jobs in Birmingham, AL

Remote. Paid. ~20 hrs./Week. Turn AI knowledge into real enterprise impact.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping industries, companies and careers at extraordinary speed. The question is no longer whether AI will transform the world. The question is who will build that future. At Aculocity, we believe the next generation of AI leaders should not wait until the next graduation to make an impact.

Through the Aculocity AI Innovation Lab, a select group of students will work alongside AI Engineers, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, Architects and Business Leaders to solve real-world challenges across manufacturing, commercial vehicles, engineering, supply chain, finance and digital operations.

As an Aculocity AI Innovation Associate, you will gain access to enterprise-scale AI initiatives, modern platforms, experienced mentors and opportunities that most students do not encounter until years into their careers.

Aculocity is the AI, Data, Technology and Digital Transformation organization within the GVW Group, a global group of companies operating across commercial vehicles, manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, retail, financial services and industrial technologies.

Our mission is to help transform these businesses through artificial intelligence, modern data platforms, automation and digital innovation. Every day, we solve complex enterprise challenges that improve how vehicles are designed, built, sold, serviced and supported, while enabling smarter operations and better decision-making across the Group.

This associate program is designed for students who want more than a standard internship. We are looking for future builders, innovators and leaders who are ready to challenge themselves in a serious enterprise environment.

Only a small cohort of students will be selected to join the Innovation Lab. Successful associates will demonstrate technical ability, intellectual curiosity, strong communication skills and a passion for applying AI to create business value.
