Be a force for good and transform your potential into something extraordinary.
As an Agentic AI Intern at Nestlé Research , your mission will be to explore how Agentic AI and Large Language Models can contribute to the next generation of digital early warning systems.
You will investigate how autonomous AI agents can identify and analyse emerging signals from large-scale, unstructured external information, such as scientific literature, regulatory publications, news, patents and digital media. Working with domain experts, you will develop and evaluate proof-of-concept approaches that can discover relevant entities and relationships, gather evidence and support the identification of novel emerging signals.
How you’ll make an impact as an Agentic AI Intern
- Review state-of-the-art research in Agentic AI, autonomous reasoning and knowledge discovery, and benchmark emerging approaches against existing information extraction and signal detection capabilities
- Design and develop proof-of-concept autonomous AI agents and workflows for signal detection, relationship discovery and evidence gathering
- Explore how Agentic AI can identify relevant entities, associations and emerging signals from large-scale, unstructured external information
- Define and apply validation strategies to assess the relevance and reliability of outcomes produced by autonomous agents
- Collaborate with domain experts to define early warning use cases, investigate emerging signals and translate requirements into proof-of-concept solutions
What will make you successful
- Student or recent graduate from a Bachelor or Master degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or a related field
- Strong knowledge of Generative AI and Agentic AI, combined with solid Python programming and data-processing skills
- Interest in applying AI to scientific and early warning challenges; a basic understanding of food safety or chemistry is an advantage
- Experience working in Unix environments is an advantage; exposure to knowledge graphs, ontology engineering or linked data concepts is also beneficial

Questions about this listing
What salary does Nestlé offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Lausanne is CHF 51'000 - 77'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by Nestlé. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Nestlé offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Nestlé during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Vaud?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Vaud's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Vaud's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
