AI FDE Intern
Are you looking to build intelligent systems that move beyond digital experiments and into the physical world?
The Univers Global Impact Lab was established to bring advanced AI into the physical world,
helping organizations transform how they operate, optimize resources, and make better decisions.
Our mission is to translate advances in AI into production-grade systems that bridge enterprise systems and physical operations, empowering organizations to solve complex real-world challenges through intelligent decisions and actions.
We build AI that combines foundation models, multimodal data, operational intelligence, and intelligent agents to understand information from business systems alongside industrial assets, sensors, and operational workflows.
AI is moving from promise to accountability. Enterprises are looking beyond AI demonstrations and expect intelligent systems that deliver measurable outcomes in real-world operations. The Univers Global Impact Lab is helping build the foundation for Physical AI by bringing together perception, reasoning, and operational intelligence to turn real-world signals into meaningful actions.
If you are excited about applying AI to solve real-world problems and want to learn how
advanced AI moves from research into production, this is an opportunity to work alongside
experienced scientists and engineers while contributing to projects that create measurable impact.

About the Role
As an AI Forward Deployed Engineering (AI FDE) Intern, you will work alongside AI
scientists, engineers, product teams, and domain experts to develop AI solutions for real-world operational challenges across industries.
AI FDE is about turning ambiguous real-world challenges into clear AI use cases, then applying advanced AI to build practical solutions that deliver measurable operational impact. You will learn how to understand complex operational challenges, identify the right AI opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions, and work across research, engineering, product, and domain expertise to deliver real-world impact.
Throughout the internship, you will contribute across the AI solution lifecycle, from
understanding problems and exploring technical approaches to building prototypes, evaluating AI models, and supporting production-ready solutions. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn how modern AI systems are developed and deployed in real-world environments.
