JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS

The Nittany AI Alliance at The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) is looking for talented and driven PSU undergraduate students to join its Advance program as a Data Scientist, Front-end Developer, and Back-end Developer. Advance interns will work on AI-related projects in an Agile software development team, collaborating with data scientists, software developers, a scrum master, and product owners, gaining hands-on experience that enhances their learning and marketability. Selected candidates will assist with the creation of prototypes leveraging artificial intelligence and drive the design of related cognitive modules.

Specifically, the Data Scientist will research state-of-the-art algorithms in machine learning to identify viable project approaches, design prototypes that connect data sources to a concrete use case and develop code to test the efficacy and efficiency of algorithms against real-world data. The Front-End Developer will build upon wireframes and concepts created by a UX Designer leveraging technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They will produce, modify, and maintain web application user interfaces. They will work with Data Scientists in back-end design, collaborating on APIs, data structure, and data integration. They will maintain software workflow, versioning, and testing during development and address any bugs. They will document all code according to common development best practices and create technical documentation of project work to facilitate knowledge sharing. The Back-End Developer will research state-of-the-art algorithms in machine learning to identify viable project approaches, design prototypes that connect data sources to a concrete use case and develop code to build and improve upon a prototype optical character recognition and natural language processing solution.

Experience Required for Data Scientist:

Python, TensorFlow, Infer.net or Caffe is required. Proficiency in relevant mathematics, such as linear algebra and multivariate calculus. Skilled in JavaScript or R. Knowledge of data structures and data management methods. Ability to communicate technical topics effectively to nontechnical audiences, and ability to interpret and apply technical papers and articles in research journals is beneficial.

Experience with a code versioning tool such as GitHub, cloud computing and storage services, especially Amazon Web Services (AWS), containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes and previous experience in Agile teams or collaborating with UI/UX designers and data scientists is a plus.

Experience Required for Back-end Developer:

Python and one or more of the following AI modeling: Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), Computer Vision (CV) concepts is required. Experience with spaCy NLP library desirable. Proficiency in Java and/or Vue framework, knowledge of data structures and data management methods, and the ability to communicate technical topics effectively to nontechnical audiences is beneficial. Experience with cloud computing and storage services, especially Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a plus.

Interviews are conducted in March for the Fall semester and October for the Spring semester. Strong consideration will be given to candidates who can present a successful project in their domain. This is a part-time position for current Penn State undergraduate students only with the ability to work 15-20 hours per week at $15.00 per hour. Possibility for the internship to extend into the following semester based on Nittany AI Alliance workload and availability of the candidate.
