Agentic Infrastructure Engineer Intern

Santa Clara, CA
XPENG is a leading smart technology company at the forefront of innovation, integrating advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies into its vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and robotics. With a strong focus on intelligent mobility, XPENG is dedicated to reshaping the future of transportation through cutting-edge R&D in AI, machine learning, and smart connectivity.
 
XPENG is building the next generation of enterprise AI infrastructure — autonomous, application-driven systems that power real-time decision making across autonomous driving and AI platforms. As part of our AI Enablement team, you will work on internal platforms at the frontier of LLM orchestration, multi-agent coordination, and automated workflow systems.
 
This role is ideal for candidates passionate about developer productivity, AI-native tooling, and scalable infrastructure. You will build systems for CI/CD, observability, evaluation, and workflow automation, while working closely with senior engineers across AI infrastructure and platform teams.
 

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement Electron-based desktop applications for prompt workflow visualization, process inspection, and self-service dashboards for non-engineering stakeholders.
  • Contribute to JavaScript/TypeScript components that enable LLM orchestration, AI workflow interoperability, pipeline automation, and MCP-compatible connectors.
  • Build and extend evaluation frameworks for verifying agent outputs and system reliability, including LLM-as-judge metrics, structured validation, and automated feedback loops.
  • Instrument operational observability tooling (e.g., LangFuse, OpenTelemetry, custom metrics) and develop automated dashboards to surface runtime insights and model performance trends.
  • Participate in the full engineering lifecycle including design reviews, implementation, testing, CI/CD integration, and Git-based collaboration workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with platform engineers and researchers on benchmark selection, failure analysis, prompt optimization, and quantitative evaluation methodologies.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend/backend development practices.
  • Experience with Electron Framework, including desktop application development, IPC communication, and renderer/main process architecture.
  • Familiarity with AI agent systems, LLM tooling frameworks, orchestration pipelines, or evaluation workflows.
  • Understanding of CI/CD fundamentals, automated testing pipelines, artifact publishing, and developer productivity tooling.
  • Experience designing evaluation or verification systems for AI outputs, structured data validation, or workflow automation.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to clearly present technical ideas, PRs, reports, and experimental findings.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience building internal AI developer tools, observability platforms, or workflow orchestration systems.
  • Familiarity with modern AI infrastructure frameworks such as LangFuse, OpenTelemetry, MCP, or related tooling ecosystems.
  • Experience with prompt engineering, automated evaluation pipelines, or agent reliability optimization.
  • Knowledge of modern frontend application architecture and performance optimization for Electron-based systems.
  • Experience working in fast-paced engineering environments with rapid iteration cycles and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Contributions to open-source projects or prior experience developing scalable AI infrastructure platforms.
What we are looking for:
  • Self-motivated and proactive in solving problems.
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
  • Strong in debugging, systems thinking, and iterative problem solving.
  • Able to quickly learn unfamiliar systems and contribute meaningful improvements.
  • Clear communicators who collaborate effectively and provide thoughtful feedback.
  • Passionate about building reliable AI-native tools and infrastructure.
What do we provide:
  • A fun, supportive and engaging environment.
  • Infrastructures and computational resources to support your work.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies with the top talents in the field.
  • Opportunity to make significant impact on the transportation revolution by the means of advancing autonomous driving.
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Snacks, lunches, dinners, and fun activities.
 
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. It is our policy to provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified persons without regard to race, age, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, veteran status or marital status or any other prescribed category set forth in federal or state regulations.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
