• 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.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work with non‑technical users.

• Bachelor's or Master's in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field.
• Graduate in Spring 2027 or Spring 2028.

• Must be a currently enrolled student
