Position Overview

As an AI and Machine Learning New Graduate at AVEVA, you won't be working in the margins - you'll be building at the core. Embedded within a Scrum-based R&D team with a builder's mindset, you will design and deploy production-grade AI capabilities and cloud-native platform services that serve as the foundational infrastructure for AI adoption across a global industrial software portfolio used by more than 20,000 enterprises worldwide.

The scope spans the full depth of modern AI - from classical machine learning and transformer architectures through Large Language Models, Generative AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, prompt engineering, agentic workflows, embeddings, and model evaluation - while pushing into what's next: emerging interoperability standards like Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) that are actively defining how the next generation of interconnected AI systems communicate and scale.

At AVEVA, new graduates don't just consume AI tools - they build the APIs and platform services that make them possible. If you're ready to move with startup agility, think at enterprise scale, and contribute real solutions that shape the future of intelligent industrial software, this is where that journey begins.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and AI solutions for real-world problems.

• Assist in data collection, preprocessing, and exploratory data analysis to ensure high-quality datasets for model training and evaluation.

• Implement, test, and optimize machine learning algorithms using relevant libraries and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn.

• Contribute to the development and refinement of AI pipelines, including data ingestion, feature engineering, model selection, and validation.

• Conduct literature reviews to stay updated on the latest trends, techniques, and developments in the field of AI and machine learning.

• Document technical processes, experiments, and results to facilitate knowledge sharing and reproducibility within the team.

• Participate in code reviews, brainstorming sessions, and team meetings to foster a collaborative and innovative working environment.

• Present findings, analyses, and results effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desired Skills and Knowledge in AI/ML:

• A Bachelor's Degree, Master's Degree or PhD in Computer Science; Computer Engineering; Data Science; AI/ML graduating with a GPA of 3.0 or above

• Prior internships, coursework projects, or research experience in AI/ML.

• Solid understanding of foundational AI and machine learning concepts, including supervised and unsupervised learning, classification, regression, clustering, and model evaluation.

• Familiarity with algorithms such as linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, support vector machines, neural networks, and ensemble methods.

• Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in AI/ML, such as Python or R, along with experience using relevant libraries (e.g., NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch). Knowledge of C# and .Net would be an advantage.

• Knowledge of data preprocessing techniques, feature selection, and dimensionality reduction.

• Basic experience with data visualization tools and techniques to communicate insights from data.

• Understanding of deep learning architectures particularly transformer models, and foundational knowledge of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI concepts.

• Familiarity with prompt engineering techniques for interacting with generative AI models and basic knowledge of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) architectures.

• Awareness of emerging AI interoperability standards, such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A), and their role in building interconnected AI systems.

• Ability to work with version control tools such as Git, and familiarity with collaborative development practices.

• Strong problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and attention to detail.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• An eagerness to accept and expand upon skills and knowledge based on feedback

USA Benefits include:

Flex work hours, 20 days PTO rising to 25 with service, three paid volunteering days, primary and secondary parental leave, well-being support, medical, dental, vision, and 401K.

It's possible we're hiring for this position in multiple countries, in which case the above benefits apply to the primary location. Specific benefits vary by country, but our packages are similarly comprehensive.
