Job Description

Join the Quality Engineering Analytics (QEA) team and help turn Quality Engineering data into useful insight, automation and trusted AI-enabled capabilities. You will work with engineers and stakeholders on QEA 360 data pipelines, dashboards, data-quality controls and agentic AI use cases that help teams understand quality, risk, adoption and delivery outcomes. This is a hands-on learning role for a student who is curious about data, analytics, Quality Engineering and how Agentic AI can safely support real engineering workflows.

What will you do?

  • Support QEA 360 data and analytics: Help ingest, validate and analyze Quality Engineering data from sources such as qTest, Jira, delivery pipelines and operational systems. Contribute to reliable data pipelines and well-defined metrics.
  • Improve data quality and automated testing: Assist with data-integrity checks, pipeline testing, dashboard validation, and automation that improves the accuracy, reliability and supportability of QEA products.
  • Contribute to agentic AI use cases: Support proofs of concept and product experiments where AI agents analyze quality data, assist with defect and risk insights, or help automate multi‑step Quality Engineering workflows.
  • Evaluate AI‑generated outcomes: Help define test scenarios, expected evidence and quality checks for agent outputs. Review results for accuracy, usefulness, traceability, and appropriate human oversight.
  • Build analytics and visualizations: Use dashboards, reporting tools and clear data storytelling to help clients and leaders understand trends, platform usage, AI adoption and opportunities for improvement.
  • Research emerging practices: Explore developments in agentic AI, AI assurance, analytics and Quality Engineering, then summarize practical implications and recommendations for the team.
  • Work across teams: Collaborate with Quality Engineering, Enterprise DevOps, AI enablement teams and platform partners to deliver small yet useful increments of work.
  • Document and share what you learn: Create clear technical notes, user guidance and demonstrations so that experiments and improvements can be reused and supported.

What do you need to succeed?

  • Currently enrolled in a post‑secondary program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Data Analytics, Information Systems, Business Technology Management, or a related field with a graduation date of April 2027 or later
  • Demonstrated interest in data, software engineering, Quality Engineering, automation or AI‑enabled product development.
  • Foundational programming or scripting skills in Python, Java, JavaScript, or a similar language.
  • Foundational knowledge of SQL, data structures, APIs, or database concepts.
  • Ability to analyze a problem, test assumptions, and explain findings clearly.
  • Curiosity about agentic AI, including how agents reason over context, use tools, execute workflows and produce evidence that people can evaluate.
  • Comfort learning unfamiliar tools and technologies with support from experienced team members.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Attention to detail and a responsible approach to data, privacy, security and AI use.

Preferred Skills And Experience

  • Hands‑on experience from coursework, personal projects, hackathons or prior work using Python and SQL.
  • Exposure to cloud services, especially AWS data or AI services such as S3, Glue, Redshift, Lambda, SageMaker or Amazon Bedrock.
  • Exposure to AI agents, large language models, prompt design, retrieval‑augmented generation, tool use or workflow orchestration.
  • Experience with data visualization or business intelligence tools such as QuickSight, Power BI or Grafana.
  • Familiarity with automated testing, CI/CD, Git, APIs or Agile product delivery.
  • An understanding of
