Position Overview
As a Data Science Intern for the PSTO function, you will play a crucial role in integrating and streamlining test results from various development and manufacturing processes, including characterization, design verification test, process control tests, manufacturing lot release tests, and stability data. Your primary focus will be on developing systems that automatically aggregate and centralize these datasets from different storage locations (e.g., Astria and/or partner SharePoint, software platforms, cloud storage) This may involve proposing and working with internal and external data owners to align on optimal formats of the data.
Also, you will be responsible for designing an interface that allows users to easily access, compare, and analyze various development and manufacturing test data. Use of artificial intelligence tools is desirable to make the processes as simple as possible, and extendable for the future. As a stretch goal, a similar process can be applied to not only data but also documentation, i.e. create an automatic digital project history file or design history file.

- Deliver a final presentation at the end of the internship summarizing findings, demonstrating the developed interface, and proposing recommendations for future improvements.
Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a degree in Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, Life Sciences, or a related field.
- Strong analytical skills with a keen interest in data integration and visualization.
- Experience or coursework in Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or other data analytics tools is preferred but not required.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite.
