AI Intern

About the role

At Oshkosh, we build, serve and protect people and communities around the world by designing and manufacturing some of the toughest specialty trucks and access equipment. We employ over 18,000 team members united by a common purpose. Our engineering and product innovation keep soldiers and firefighters safe, help build clean communities, and enable people to do their jobs every day.

As an AI Engineer Intern in Summer 2027, you will contribute to the development and deployment of artificial intelligence and intelligent software solutions across Oshkosh’s engineering and product platforms. Depending on your experience, interests, and project assignment, you may work in areas such as machine learning, computer vision, edge AI, embedded systems, vehicle intelligence, connectivity, or software‑defined vehicle technologies. You’ll collaborate with engineering and technology teams to develop, test, and integrate intelligent solutions into real‑world products and applications.
