DATA SCIENCE INTERN

CCAM - Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing supports research programs in advanced manufacturing. The Data Science Intern will apply data science, machine learning, and data analysis techniques to manufacturing projects while developing scripts, researching model improvements, and communicating results through reports and presentations.

What you'll do:

• Improve understanding of the application of data science principles in manufacturing through: : Understanding the principles of advanced data analysis and modeling schemes for manufacturing with emphasis on machine learning principles for image processing
• Modification of existing scripts to analyze large data sets for modeling and analysis purposes
• Development of scripts to pre-process datasets as needed for various modeling and analysis purposes
• Improve critical thinking skills through: : Learning new libraries through API documentation and self-experimentation
• Exploring literature for ways to improve performance of existing models
• Improve technical communication skills through: : Formatting and formal reporting and presentation of results
• Work independently towards an established goal without continuous oversight or assistance
• Quickly grasp key concepts needed to attack difficult engineering and manufacturing problems
• Maintain a positive, team-first mentality
• Take ownership of projects
