Infrastructure Engineer Intern Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Santa Clara, CA

XPENG is a leading smart technology company at the forefront of innovation, integrating advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies into its vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and robotics. With a strong focus on intelligent mobility, XPENG is dedicated to reshaping the future of transportation through cutting-edge R&D in AI, machine learning, and smart connectivity. XPENG is building the next generation of enterprise AI infrastructure — autonomous, application-driven systems that power real-time decision making across autonomous driving and AI platforms. As part of our AI Enablement team, you will work on internal platforms at the frontier of LLM orchestration, multi-agent coordination, and automated workflow systems. This role is ideal for candidates passionate about developer productivity, AI-native tooling, and scalable infrastructure. You will build systems for CI/CD, observability, evaluation, and workflow automation, while working closely with senior engineers across AI infrastructure and platform teams.

• Design and implement Electron-based desktop applications for prompt workflow visualization, process inspection, and self-service dashboards for non-engineering stakeholders.
• Contribute to JavaScript/TypeScript components that enable LLM orchestration, AI workflow interoperability, pipeline automation, and MCP-compatible connectors.
• Build and extend evaluation frameworks for verifying agent outputs and system reliability, including LLM-as-judge metrics, structured validation, and automated feedback loops.
• Instrument operational observability tooling (e.g., LangFuse, OpenTelemetry, custom metrics) and develop automated dashboards to surface runtime insights and model performance trends.
• Participate in the full engineering lifecycle including design reviews, implementation, testing, CI/CD integration, and Git-based collaboration workflows.
• Collaborate closely with platform engineers and researchers on benchmark selection, failure analysis, prompt optimization, and quantitative evaluation methodologies.

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend/backend development practices.
• Experience with Electron Framework, including desktop application development, IPC communication, and renderer/main process architecture.
• Familiarity with AI agent systems, LLM tooling frameworks, orchestration pipelines, or evaluation workflows.
• Understanding of CI/CD fundamentals, automated testing pipelines, artifact publishing, and developer productivity tooling.
• Experience designing evaluation or verification systems for AI outputs, structured data validation, or workflow automation.
• Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to clearly present technical ideas, PRs, reports, and experimental findings.

• Experience building internal AI developer tools, observability platforms, or workflow orchestration systems.
• Familiarity with modern AI infrastructure frameworks such as LangFuse, OpenTelemetry, MCP, or related tooling ecosystems.
• Experience with prompt engineering, automated evaluation pipelines, or agent reliability optimization.
• Knowledge of modern frontend application architecture and performance optimization for Electron-based systems.
• Experience working in fast-paced engineering environments with rapid iteration cycles and cross-functional collaboration.
• Contributions to open-source projects or prior experience developing scalable AI infrastructure platforms.

What we are looking for:

• Self-motivated and proactive in solving problems.
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
• Strong in debugging, systems thinking, and iterative problem solving.
• Able to quickly learn unfamiliar systems and contribute meaningful improvements.
• Clear communicators who collaborate effectively and provide thoughtful feedback.
• Passionate about building reliable AI-native tools and infrastructure.

What do we provide:

• A fun, supportive and engaging environment.
• Infrastructures and computational resources to support your work.
• Opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies with the top talents in the field.
• Opportunity to make significant impact on the transportation revolution by the means of advancing autonomous driving.
• Competitive compensation package.
• Snacks, lunches, dinners, and fun activities.
