Students will be positioned for success with training and hands-on experiences, invited to social and development activities, and provided a professional mentor relationship.

Summer Project: New AI features in Form Creator, product convergence, and new products

• AI-assisted authoring: Design and build new Zebra AI (ZAI) features in Form Creator. Extend ZAI capabilities, for example, to turn an uploaded policy or SOP document into a complete draft template, or to suggest skip logic and validation rules.
• AI insights from results: Build a feature that summarizes completed walk responses and violations into plain-language findings and recommended follow-up tasks for store and district managers.
• Full-stack delivery: Implement backend REST endpoints in Java 21 / Spring (SWA v2 and Next-Gen /api/v2 APIs) and matching Angular screens, from design review through production-ready code.
• Responsible AI: Add guardrails such as per-customer enable/disable flags, managed prompts, validation of the model's structured (JSON) output, and fallbacks when the AI service is unavailable. Build a small evaluation set to measure answer quality.
• Product convergence: Help bring Form Creator capabilities together across forms, surveys, store walk (SWA), and offline walk products, so a new feature is built once as a shared component or API and works in every product.
• New products: Help prototype an AI-enabled capability for a new product on the platform, including its product configuration (modules, permissions, menus, and pages).
• Quality and demo: Write unit tests (JUnit 5, Mockito), ship through our Jenkins/SonarQube CI pipeline, document the work, and present a live demo to product and engineering leadership at the end of the summer.
