- Document workflows, assumptions, and usage instructions for tools you help build.
- Collaborate with lab staff to gather requirements and improve tools based on feedback.
- 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.
