This internship is designed for someone who can help us answer a fundamental question: Where should we start with AI-and how do we do it responsibly?

Key Responsibilities

• Research practical AI use cases relevant to a semiconductor environment (e.g., Sales, HR, engineering workflows, manufacturing support, and corporate functions)

• Analyze how peer companies and leading organizations are deploying AI tools while protecting confidential and proprietary information

• Evaluate AI platforms (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI, enterprise copilots) with a focus on data privacy, model training risk, and enterprise controls

• Identify "low-risk, high-impact" opportunities for AI adoption within AOS

• Develop guidelines and recommendations for safe and compliant use of AI, including guardrails around sensitive data

• Liaise with external AI vendors/partners to understand capabilities, limitations, and security frameworks

• Synthesize findings into clear, executive-ready recommendations, including a proposed starting roadmap
