About the role

We're looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Program Management Intern to join our Data Operations Team. In this role, you will own and drive data management pipeline across internal and external stakeholders – ensuring that data for every project is tracked in a timely basis and stored in a structured format that supports continuous model training.

You’ll work at the intersection of AI, Software, and Hardware teams, coordinating with external and internal data operations teams. If you want hands-on exposure to the critical role of data management in building new AI technologies, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

● Coordinate data pipeline operations spanning collection, preparation, annotation, post-processing, and cloud synchronization, ensuring seamless handoffs across each stage

● Manage relationships with external vendors and onboard new vendors, including US-based and India-based agencies, for collection and annotation to ensure timely, high-quality deliverables

● Collaborate with cross-functional internal teams – including AI/ML, Software, and Hardware – to identify data requirements, prioritize tasks, and align timelines

● Track and report on metrics such as throughput, quality scores, turnaround times, and bottlenecks; prepare weekly/monthly status reports and dashboards for leadership review

● Maintain data integrity and consistency throughout the pipeline by establishing and enforcing standard operating procedures (SOPs) for data handling, naming conventions, and version control

● Proactively identify risks, blockers, and process inefficiencies in the data pipeline; propose and implement process improvements to optimize speed, cost, and quality

● Document processes, workflows, and best practices to build institutional knowledge and enable smoother onboarding for future team members.

Required Qualifications and Skills

● Bachelor’s degree (or currently pursuing a degree) in Engineering, Business, or a related field.

● Genuine curiosity about AI/ML

● Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills

● Ability to clearly articulate thoughts and ideas using data and present them effectively through verbal and written channels

● Proactive attitude; you don't wait to be told what to do next

● Eagerness to learn, adapt, and work in a fast-paced and evolving environment

● Comfortable working with AI tools (Claude, Gemini, etc.) to create quick visualizations, tracking mechanisms and automations

● Strong Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint skills. SQL is a plus

● Prior internship or project experience in project coordination, data operations, or vendor management is a plus

Skills You Will Develop

● End-to-end data pipeline management for physical AI agents, with the opportunity to see the impact of your contributions in production.

● Stakeholder and vendor management across multiple countries and cultures.

● Cross-functional collaboration with software, operations, and business teams.

● Reporting, data analytics, and hands-on experience with project management tools.
