IP Operations AI Intern

Hybrid (Remote Considered) | Full-Time Internship | Wayne, PA

At Novocure, we're working to extend the lives of patients battling some of the most aggressive forms of cancer. As part of our Intellectual Property Operations team, you'll help develop and improve AI solutions that automate complex workflows, analyze data, and make information more accessible across the business.

This is a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge AI technologies to real-world challenges in a highly collaborative environment. While you'll sit within the Intellectual Property organization, this is not a legal internship it's a technical role focused on AI development, automation, and intelligent systems.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an AI-focused intern who enjoys solving technical problems and building practical solutions. You'll partner directly with our Head of IP Operations to enhance existing AI agents, improve their reliability, and help create new automation tools that support business processes.

Rather than starting projects from scratch, you'll help evolve working AI systems by improving performance, strengthening safeguards, troubleshooting issues, and integrating enterprise data sources.

If you're excited about generative AI, LLMs, automation, APIs, and building intelligent systems that solve real business problems, we'd love to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design Design, develop, and improve AI agents for document analysis, summarization, and data extraction
• Enhance Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows and improve AI accuracy and reliability
• Refine prompts, system instructions, and agent logic to reduce hallucinations and improve performance
• Integrate AI agents with enterprise applications, APIs, and internal databases
• Troubleshoot AI workflows, identify bottlenecks, and improve system performance
• Implement validation, security, and data privacy safeguards for enterprise AI applications
• Collaborate on automation projects that improve operational efficiency across IP Operations
• Document technical solutions, workflows, and recommendations for future development
• Bring creative ideas and new approaches to emerging AI challenges

ABOUT YOU

You're curious, analytical, and enjoy figuring out why systems work—or why they don't. You're comfortable experimenting with new AI technologies and excited by opportunities to build practical solutions that have real business impact.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
• Rising junior or senior preferred
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with cross-functional teams
• Ability to commit to full-time hours during the internship

• Experience working with Large Language Models (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, or similar)
• Familiarity with RAG architectures and AI agent frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, or similar
• Experience working with APIs and structured data
• Understanding of prompt engineering and AI evaluation techniques
• Experience with software development, automation, or workflow tools
• Familiarity with Airtable or similar low-code platforms is a plus
• No intellectual property or legal experience is required

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Improved performance and reliability of existing AI agents
• Successfully implemented AI solutions that integrate enterprise data
• Helped build scalable automation capabilities within IP Operations
• Demonstrated strong problem-solving skills while troubleshooting AI systems
• Contributed ideas that improve efficiency and support future AI initiatives

HOW YOU’LL WORK

• Full-time internship (approximately 8–10 weeks) with flexibility to continue part-time during the academic year based on business needs and candidate availability
• Remote-friendly, with hybrid flexibility for candidates near Chesterbrook, PA
• Direct mentorship from the Head of IP Operations
• Collaborative environment with opportunities to contribute to AI initiatives across multiple business functions

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

• Paid Internship of $25/hr.
