Job Description:

About our group:

The GFIT RMO-WIP team develops and supports manufacturing applications, integration services and automation solutions. Our work includes standalone Java applications, web service modernization, Linux-based operational automation, and MDW shares housekeeping for large-scale manufacturing data.

This internship is ideal for students who are interested in enterprise Java development, Shell scripting, RESTful services, Python-based AI solutions, Generative AI, and intelligent automation.

About the role - you will:

• Develop, enhance, test, and maintain standalone Java applications supporting manufacturing and operational workflows.
• Assist in converting legacy application functions and interfaces into secure, maintainable RESTful web services.
• Develop Shell scripts to automate file movement, validation, logging, monitoring, alerting, archival, and housekeeping activities in Linux/Unix environments.
• Support MDW share housekeeping by designing reliable processes to move very large folders, including folders containing more than 10,000 files, from active MDW shares to archive MDW shares.
• Implement appropriate error handling, restartability, reconciliation, audit logging, and performance checks for large-volume file transfer processes.
• Build Python utilities and FastAPI-based services that can integrate with Java applications, automation workflows, or internal tools.
• Explore Generative AI and LLM-based use cases using frameworks such as LangChain and LangGraph for knowledge retrieval, log analysis, troubleshooting assistance, and workflow automation.
• Collaborate with developers, business analysts, infrastructure teams, and subject matter experts to gather requirements and deliver practical solutions.
• Perform unit testing, troubleshooting, technical documentation, source-code management, and deployment support.

About you:

• Strong foundation in Java programming, object-oriented programming, collections, exception handling, file I/O, and multithreading concepts.
• Good Shell scripting skills and confidence working with Linux/Unix commands, filesystems, permissions, processes, cron, SSH/SFTP, and large file sets.
• Interest in learning enterprise manufacturing applications, system integration, automation, and production support practices.
• Analytical and methodical problem-solving approach, with attention to data integrity, operational safety, and error recovery.
• Highly independent and able to work with guidance from mentors while taking ownership of assigned deliverables.
• Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document designs, test results, and operating instructions.

Your experience includes:

• Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or related discipline.
• Java development, including hands-on academic, personal, or internship projects.
• Linux/Unix and Shell scripting for automation and file-processing tasks.
• Basic SQL and relational database concepts; exposure to Oracle or PostgreSQL is an advantage.
• Understanding REST APIs, JSON, HTTP methods, API authentication, and web service integration; Spring Boot exposure is preferred.
• Python programming and exposure to FastAPI for building lightweight APIs or backend services.
• Basic understanding of AI, Machine Learning, Generative AI, Large Language Models, embeddings, vector databases, prompt engineering, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
• Exposure to AI application frameworks and tools such as LangChain, LangGraph, Chainlit, OpenAI-compatible APIs, or similar technologies.
• Familiarity with Git/GitLab, code reviews, CI/CD, Agile development, Docker, or Kubernetes is an advantage.
• Experience handling large numbers of files, batch processing, data archival, checksums, rsync, or parallel file-transfer techniques is an advantage.
• Commitment to responsible AI practices, including data privacy, secure handling of enterprise information, output validation, and human review.
