About the role
This AI Infrastructure Engineer Intern role involves building the data infrastructure that powers AI research, working with large-scale datasets at the intersection of machine learning and semiconductor chip design.
What you'll do
- Collect, clean, normalize, and sanitize large-scale chip design datasets from diverse sources and formats.
- Build and maintain scripts and pipelines to automate data extraction and transformation tasks.
- Parse and process various file formats including JSON, CSV, Parquet, logs, and domain-specific EDA formats.
- Navigate complex codebases and directory structures to locate, understand, and extract relevant data.
- Work with structured and semi-structured data using SQL and Python-based tooling.
- Collaborate with researchers and engineers to understand data requirements and deliver model-ready datasets.
- Document data sources, transformation logic, and dataset versions in shared repositories.
What you'll need
- Advanced BSc student in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
- Good Python skills with hands-on experience using pandas and NumPy for real data manipulation.
- Solid SQL and comfort working with structured and semi-structured data (JSON, CSV, Parquet, logs).
- Practical experience cleaning, normalizing, and sanitizing messy, real-world data.
- Comfort navigating codebases and filesystems – understanding directory/file structures and parsing multiple file formats.
- Git fluency – reading commit history, diffs, and working with versioned repositories.
- Scripting ability to automate repetitive extraction and transformation tasks.
Nice to have
- Exposure to data pipeline tools or frameworks (e.g., Airflow, dbt, Spark).
- Basic familiarity with ML concepts – understanding what makes a good feature, and awareness of train/test leakage.
- Curiosity for reverse-engineering undocumented data and uncovering hidden relationships across files and datasets.
