A Taste of What You'll Do

We are seeking a motivated intern to join our team and contribute to high-impact productivity improvement projects. This is a unique opportunity to explore and build compelling business cases for innovative solutions that serve as alternatives to traditional capital investments.

The intern's projects will focus on exploring and building the business case for high-potential productivity improvements, serving as an alternative to capital solutions. The primary focus areas include robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and simulation/emulation. Specifically, the intern will work on identifying and justifying applications in robotics to improve productivity and reduce site costs. In the area of AI, the intern will identify and justify enhancements for daily workflows, with the potential to pilot these solutions for broader implementation. For simulation/emulation, the intern will help accelerate project lifecycles and minimize risks by assisting in the creation of a 'digital twin' for virtual trials. The intern will primarily focus on one or two of these areas, depending on project needs and interests.

•  Identify and develop solutions that leverage the power of robotics, AI, and/or simulation or emulation environments to solve business problems and drive continuous improvement
•  Collect, organize, analyze, and present data for understanding and measuring winery process performance, including both for current and future state
•  Collaborate effectively with cross-functional departments (i.e. Operations, Winemaking, Engineering, Supply Chain Planning, Quality, EHS) across all levels to accomplish internship goals including building the business justification for identified solutions
•  Effectively communicate with and present to senior leadership on project status, including roadblocks, results, and/or recommendations
•  Support site and departmental continuous improvement efforts as needed
