Title:
National Security Solutions (NSS) - Generative AI Intern
Project Overview
To advance the organization’s capabilities in Generative AI through hands-on research, experimentation, and development of prototype solutions that leverage large language models, multimodal AI systems, and data engineering techniques.
The intern will join the AI R&D team to assist in generative AI experimentation and development. This project will focus on identifying promising AI techniques, improving model performance through better data and evaluation methods, and building small-scale prototypes to demonstrate new capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct literature reviews on emerging generative AI research and tools.
Annotate and curate datasets for model training and fine-tuning.
Evaluate and document model outputs for quality, accuracy, and bias.
Develop or refine data pipelines for automated testing and model evaluation.
Contribute to prototype development and internal demos.
Present findings and recommendations to the AI R&D team.
Learning Outcomes & Impact
The intern will gain hands-on experience with large language models, prompt engineering, dataset curation, and pipeline automation.
Intern will also gain valuable experience in working with experienced Subject Matter Experts, Data Scientists and/or Data engineers.
Minimum Qualifications
