About the Role
This internship focuses on creating AI agents to analyze industrial control requirements and PLC applications, automatically generating test programs and validation plans, and executing tests in simulation environments. The project emphasizes open, reproducible research using publicly available PLC programs, open-source tools, synthetic simulation environments, and non-proprietary datasets. A key objective is enabling the AI system to identify corner cases, fault conditions, safety risks, and unexpected operating scenarios beyond standard functional testing.
Responsibilities
- Develop agentic AI workflows that automatically create test plans from PLC code, functional specifications, and system requirements.
- Create AI agents that create and refine test cases during PLC code development.
- Identify and test corner cases, rare events, and abnormal operating conditions.
- Produce fault-injection scenarios including sensor failures, actuator faults, communication disruptions, and unexpected process disturbances.
- Evaluate safety-related behaviors and verify compliance with operational constraints.
- Validate conformance between control goals and implemented PLC logic.
- Integrate simulation-driven testing and automated result analysis into the validation workflow.
- Explore formal verification and reasoning techniques to improve confidence in generated test plans.
- Emphasize open, reproducible research through the use of publicly available PLC programs, open-source tools, synthetic simulation environments, and non-proprietary datasets.
Requirements
- Must be pursuing a bachelor's or advanced degree from an accredited college or university.
- Prior experience in delivering AI-enabled process improvements.
- Expected graduation date is December 2027 or beyond.
- Previous experience in a manufacturing environment.
- Experience in Python, machine learning or Generative AI, reinforcement learning, industrial automation, software testing, formal methods, robotics or simulation environments.
