The Search & NLP team in the Analytics & Knowledge Management (AKM) organization is seeking a four-month graduate co-op student to Data Science techniques, engineering, and software programming to develop and deploy applications related to Search and NLP use cases.

The scope and opportunities of the co-op will include:

• Push the envelope on current NLP technology and develop new algorithms for our Enterprise Search & NLP platform.
• Work on Deep learning programming with Python/Tensorflow/Keras or similar libraries and frameworks.
• Design, develop, and provide implementation of compelling data visualizations, dashboards, tools, and utilities using Open Source technologies (Java/J2EE, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, D3, etc.) in support of search-based applications.
• Collaborate with business partners and business analysts to translate business requirements into technical requirements.

The co-op will be embedded in a team of experienced Java/ Python developers and will be expected to interact with the business partners from various other functions across our organization. The co-op will be responsible - with guidance from subject matter experts - code implementation, and interaction with stakeholders as well as other IS functions. The co-op will be an integral part of the team and help shape the team's NLP strategy through the outcome of this work.

Relocation in the form of a miscellaneous allowance will be provided for eligible candidates.
