Summary
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.
