AI System Development Intern

Description

The AI System Development Intern supports the research, design, and implementation of localized Large Language Model (LLM) solutions to enhance the corporate IT Knowledge Base. This role focuses on building an automated Q&A system through the development of web agents, vector database management, and model fine-tuning to ensure high-accuracy information retrieval.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with IT teams to identify key knowledge domains and document functional requirements for the automated Q&A system.
• System Design: Assist in designing system architectures for local LLM deployment, including RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) workflows and web agent integration.
• AI Development Support: Support the development team in implementing web agents and integrating LLM APIs with internal IT systems.
• Knowledge Base Management: Organize and process unstructured IT documentation into vector databases to facilitate efficient semantic search and retrieval.
• Model Optimization: Participate in fine-tuning and filtering LLM output to improve the precision and reliability of technical answers.
• Technical Documentation: Prepare and maintain documentation for AI workflows, including system specifications and user guides for the IT Knowledge Base.
• System Testing: Participate in unit and integration testing, specifically focusing on the accuracy of LLM responses and the stability of web agent interactions.
