Stage PFE - Ingénieur Intelligence Artificielle dans le domaine de l'automatisation industrielle -

Environment of work
You will work in Digital Plant department where we design and maintain PLCs, industrial networks, Ios and HMIs for Industry business.

Especially you will have to take into account the needs of different targeted segments of customers such as Mining and Minerals, Oil&Gas, Water treatment, Data centers, Food and Beverage...

including requirements from Industry V4.0 requirements.

The subject will require to take into account the PLC, its hardware, asics, firmware, embedded firmware and programming software but also the environment such as the network architecture, the Ios, their connections, the scadas.

This based on real customer cases and applications and taking into account the actual industrial challenges.

Our solutions are at the top level of automation technologies including redundancy management, Safety, edge PLCs...

Responsabilities

The objective of the training is to enhance Automation Control diagnostic and issue reproduction thanks to AI tools.

After an analysis of the best candidates for improvement with AI, one or several proof of concepts will be developed.

The trainee will have to:

- Propose on the basis of previous diagnostic analysis which subjects could be enhanced with AI:

- Improve PLC diagnostic features (for example predictive maintenance for the system, limits reached for memory, run time, communication...)

- Fasten user issue reproduction (indeed when we have a customer case we do not have the whole factory and real time of the customer so reproduction to make the diagnostic is difficult)

...

- Develop for the chosen proposals the corresponding tools or Proof of concept

- Lead the project execution on the technical part.

For all these activities you will have access to our best experts support.

You will have to be creative and innovative to challenge or propose new solutions with them.

Contract: 6-month internship starting on 1st semester 2025
Location: Schneider Electric R&D Plant "Horizon", Carros, 06510 (near Nice, France)

Profile
Final training of a computer engineering school with an AI specialty and knowledge of firmware development.



* Autonomy for investigation, researches inside Schneider and outside (technology, automation, industry)


* Good communication skills and capacity to work with experts.


* Fluent level in English


* Analysis and synthesis abilities required

Benefits
The candidate will need to start by practical and hands-on usage of a complete automation system with the support of our tests teams.

This will give him/her a broad knowledge of customers needs in the different sectors of industry (Mining and Minerals, Oil&Gas, Water treatment, Food and Beverage...)

For this project you will be in direct link with our best experts: from Hardware, ASICs, embedded firmware, network and architecture, so you will learn a lot on all automation picture as well as computer science.

You will also interact with services close to our customers : Marketing, Support ...
