Description:
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

Preferred Qualifications:

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
