Intern-Product Lifecyle Management

The AI Datacenter Product Lifecycle Management Intern – Summer 2026 Scope of Work

The PLM intern will support strategic and operational initiatives across the product lifecycle, with a focus on data analysis, portfolio optimization, and process improvement. Key areas of contribution include :

Product Portfolio Analysis :

Evaluate product performance using the 80 / 20 rule to identify high-impact SKUs and low-value “cats and dogs.” Recommendations will support smoother OBS transitions and portfolio simplification.

Pricing Discrepancy Investigation :

Analyze Tier 1 and direct pricing versus actual purchase history over the past few years. Identify inconsistencies and unused SKUs to inform pricing strategy and contract clean-up.

Installed Base Planning (IBP) Support :

Assist one or more PLMs in navigating the IBP process, including data gathering, forecasting alignment, and documentation. This will help standardize planning efforts across teams.

Cable Forecasting & Clean-Up :

Collaborate with Damon’s cable team to streamline cable data and forecasting processes. The intern will help define a repeatable method for cross-functional alignment.

Legacy Product Line Rationalization :

Support data center portfolio efforts by helping clean up legacy product lines and marketing materials. This includes updating documentation and identifying obsolete items.

Website Data Preparation :

With a new website launch underway, the intern may assist in organizing and validating product data to ensure accurate representation online.
