Cloud AI Engineer Intern
Location: Plano, TX
About this opportunity:
We are seeking a motivated Cloud Developer Intern to join our Ericsson BOS ADM teams. In this role, you will develop automation scripts, utilize Ericsson's internal GenAI tools, and support non-functional testing for cloud-based rApp projects. This internship is ideal for someone passionate about cloud technologies, AI, and automation, eager to tackle complex challenges in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
What you will do:
Cloud Development and Automation :
• Develop and implement automation scripts using Python to interact with cloud-based systems and tools in the Ericsson environment.
• Leverage Ericsson's internal GenAI tools (e.g., GenAI, Glean) to design and implement agent-based automation solutions.
• Create and optimize cloud automation workflows for tasks such as:
o Triggering catalog comparisons across cloud environments, integrating with Git for version control.
o Verifying environmental variable consistency across multiple cloud environments to resolve discrepancies.
o Generating installation JSON configurations from PowerPoint-based topology diagrams using GenAI for intelligent parsing.
o Developing tools to create topology PowerPoint presentations from existing JSON files.
o Enhancing JSON generation tools for cloud configuration and deployment needs.
• Document automation processes, scripts, and best practices for maintainability and knowledge transfer.
• Participate in team meetings, contributing ideas to improve cloud automation strategies.
Non-Functional AI Agent Based Testing :
• Analyze cloud application architecture and workflows to derive non-functional requirements.
• Identify, document, and categorize non-functional test scenarios (e.g., performance, load, stress, scalability).
• Map non-functional requirements to measurable metrics (e.g., response time, throughput, error rate, CPU/memory utilization).
• Support scripting and automation of test scenarios using Robot Framework with Python for use in ESSVT.
• Collaborate with senior testers to define test data needs, load patterns, and cloud environment configurations.
• Assist in scripting and executing performance tests using tools like JMeter or LoadRunner.
• Review test results and analyze system behavior under various load conditions in cloud environments.
• Contribute to documentation of test cases, performance reports, and lessons learned.
