Here at Entegris, we use advanced science to enable technologies that transform the world, and we are seeking employees who have the drive to continue the mission. ## The Role - Our site in Billerica, MA is seeking a Lab Automation & AI Engineering Co-Op to join our team for the Spring 2027 season. This assignment is intended to be 6 months in duration. - This is a hands-on opportunity to apply coding and AI skills to real laboratory challenges — helping automate manual workflows, streamline data handling, and prototype AI-assisted tools that improve lab efficiency and data quality. - You will work alongside lab managers, scientists, and analysts to understand real lab processes and build practical, reliable tools that make everyday lab work faster and more consistent. This is a great fit for a student who enjoys working at the intersection of science, data, and automation. ## What You’ll Do - Support automation of manual lab workflows such as data processing, QC review, and report generation. - Develop and test Python scripts or tools for data analysis, cleanup, and automation. - Help prototype and evaluate AI-assisted tools (e.g., large language models, AI agents) for practical lab applications. - Assist with connecting instrument data to lab systems (e.g., LIMS) and reducing manual Excel/CSV handling. - Document workflows, assumptions, and usage instructions for tools you help build. - Collaborate with lab staff to gather requirements and improve tools based on feedback. ## What We Seek - Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field. - Coding ability in Python (or similar) for data analysis or automation. - Familiarity with structured data (Excel, CSV, databases). - Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and eagerness to learn lab workflows. - Ability to work onsite in Billerica, MA for the full Spring term. - Exposure to AI tools, large language models, or AI agent frameworks. - Interest in or coursework related to laboratory operations, analytical chemistry, or QA. - Experience with APIs, data pipelines, or workflow automation. - Strong communication skills and ability to work with non-technical users. ## Desired Major(s) & Graduation Year - Bachelor's or Master's in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field - Graduate in Spring 2027 or Spring 2028 ## Eligibility - Must be a currently enrolled student - Available to work 40 hours a week, M-F (8a-5p) beginning in January through June - Must be familiar with the university’s requirements to participate in a co-op program - Entegris is not currently hiring candidates for co-ops/internships who will need, now or at any time in the future, Entegris sponsorship through the H1-B lottery.
