• Assessing financial feasibility to support a business case
• Designing and building a Proof of Concept using Amgen’s in-house resources — think robotics, cameras, 3D printers, and digital innovation tools
• Presenting your findings and demo to real stakeholders

Yes, that’s right — you won’t just study the future of automation; you’ll build it.

Deliverables:

During your internship, you will deliver:

• A well-structured technical & financial feasibility study
• Documented research and validation outcomes
• A working Proof of Concept prototype
• A compelling stakeholder presentation summarizing results and next steps

This is your chance to combine engineering, creativity, and innovation into something tangible and impactful.
