Information Technology Intern, Artificial Intelligence

Cook Medical's Global IT team is looking for interns who want to put AI to work on real problems. You'll join a group that is actively building the automation, platforms, and data capabilities behind a global medical device company, and your work will ship into processes that clinicians and patients ultimately depend on. This is hands-on technical work with AI, not a shadowing assignment.

This position is a 12-week paid internship located in Bloomington, Spencer, or Ellettsville Indiana. It is offered for a period extending from mid-May through mid-August (exact dates depend on school calendars.) This position includes 401(k) options, an assigned mentor, capstone presentation, and intern events. If working onsite, you will also have access to a fitness center, an onsite cafeteria option, and a one-time housing stipend. All internships provide hands-on experience with meaningful projects in the Medical Device Manufacturing Industry.
