Internship Computer Science Intern Jobs in Milwaukee, WI

Position Summary

The Business Intelligence & No‑Code Systems Intern will design, build, and maintain a relational business intelligence database using existing internal platforms, including no‑code or low‑code database tools that combine structured data, logic, and integrations within a collaborative workspace.

This role is intended for a Computer Science major or equivalent software‑capable student with strong data modeling and systems‑thinking skills. The intern will be responsible for creating a scalable, relational data framework that connects customers, industries, applications, equipment, internal product classifications, and competitive presence into a single, easy‑to‑use system for the sales organization.

The internship will begin with foundational data modeling and framework development. Upon successful implementation and initial data population, the role will expand to more advanced challenges such as integrating data from existing systems (e.g., CRM), supporting customer mapping efforts, and automating or parsing structured reports to reduce the time and effort required by the sales team to contribute and maintain data.

This internship is expected to run through the summer, with the potential for extension based on performance, progress, and business needs.
