Research Intern at Fujitsu

Software Engineering Internship:
Visual Model-Building Platform for Earth Science

Fujitsu Research of America (FRA) was founded in Silicon Valley to extend the global reach of Fujitsu R&D. The Digital Climate team focuses on building a visual, low‑code platform that allows users to compose, configure, and run Earth‑science machine learning models without writing code. The goal is to enable domain experts, such as climate scientists and hydrologists, to build models using block‑based interfaces while the system translates these workflows into executable machine‑learning pipelines.

• Design and implement a block‑based or visual programming interface for composing Earth‑science modeling workflows.
• Develop backend pipelines that translate visual model definitions into executable ML workflows (e.g., data ingestion, model configuration, training, inference, evaluation).
• Build modular abstractions for common modeling components (datasets, preprocessing, models, losses, evaluation metrics).
• Integrate user‑defined workflows with existing ML frameworks and compute environments.
• Collaborate with climate scientists and ML researchers to ensure the platform supports real‑world Earth‑science use cases.
• Prototype and iterate on developer and user experience, focusing on usability for non‑programmers.

• Working toward or recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in building modular systems or pipelines.
• Experience or interest in front‑end development (e.g., React, Type Script, or similar) or workflow/orchestration systems.
• Familiarity with machine‑learning concepts or ML frameworks is a plus, but deep ML expertise is not required.
• Strong problem‑solving and communication skills, with interest in building tools for scientific users.
