AI Product Engineer Co-Op Intern, Winter 2027
Brain Co.
About the Role
As an AI Product Intern, you will work closely with engineers, researchers, and product leaders to help design, build, and deploy AI-powered software solving real-world problems. This is a highly hands-on role where you’ll gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, from understanding customer needs to shipping production-grade AI applications. You’ll contribute directly to live projects used by governments, healthcare systems, and industrial partners, while learning how cutting-edge AI is turned into real, scalable products.
In This Role, You Will
- Build & Ship Real Products:
- Support the design and development of AI-powered features across front-end, back-end, and data workflows.
- Help prototype and ship internal tools and customer-facing applications using modern web technologies.
- Learn Product + Engineering in Practice:
- Work with product managers and engineers to translate customer problems into clear product requirements.
- Gain exposure to how AI models are integrated into real-world software systems.
- Collaborate Closely:
- Partner with engineers, researchers, and operators to test, iterate, and improve AI-driven workflows.
- Participate in design discussions, sprint planning, and code reviews.
- Optimize & Improve:
- Assist with improving performance, reliability, and usability of deployed applications.
- Help analyze data, evaluate AI outputs, and iterate based on real customer feedback.
- Make a Real Impact:
- Contribute to projects modernizing government workflows, improving healthcare outcomes, or optimizing critical infrastructure.
- See your work deployed and used by real users — not just internal demos.
Qualifications
- Are a current undergraduate student, specifically a junior or senior, pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field.
