Company Profile

Spare Parts 3D, headquartered in France with offices in Singapore and Qatar, is revolutionizing the spare parts industry through cutting-edge 3D printing solutions. Serving sectors like Railway, Energy, and Semiconductors, we enable the digitization of spare parts inventories via our proprietary DigiPART* software and AI-powered visual engine Theia. Our data-driven approach informs strategic decisions on Additive Manufacturing (AM), with global on-demand production capabilities across Australia, Europe, Asia, and the Americas — reducing warehousing costs and streamlining supply chains.

If you're ready to take on real responsibilities, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to help build the next generation of supply chain technology, this is your opportunity to join a high-impact team

**Job Description**:
**Overall Objective**

Explore and prototype the use of AI to enhance internal operational pipelines and customer-facing deliverables, while gaining exposure to real-world data and domain-specific challenges.

**Workstream Overview**

1. Pipeline Familiarization & Model Benchmarking (Weeks 1-3)

Goal: Understand the current operational AI pipeline and establish a performance baseline.

Deliverables:

- Review internal workflows and models used (e.g., classification, matching, extraction).
- Evaluate existing outputs using confusion matrix and real-world examples.
- Present a short report highlighting performance, gaps, and improvement priorities.

2. AI-Powered Dashboard & Report Assistant (Weeks 4-8)

Goal: Design and prototype an AI assistant that generates summaries, alerts, and standardized reports for customers.

Deliverables:

- Analyze current reporting workflows and formulate standardized report structures.
- Build a basic AI agent to generate insights or automate reporting using tools such as code interpreters, web search/scraping, or LLMs.
- Integrate a lightweight interface (e.g., Streamlit).
- Conduct 1-2 stakeholder demos and incorporate feedback.

3. Visual BOM Data Extraction - Use Case Deep Dive (Weeks 6-10)

Goal: Begin tackling the complex problem of extracting structured Bill of Material (BOM) data from visual inputs such as technical drawings or PDF.

Deliverables:

- Focus on 1-2 use cases (e.g., CAD exports, scanned drawings).
- Build a prototype using OCR, layout parsing, or visual AI models.
- Measure accuracy, identify limitations, and document findings.

**Tech Exposure**
- Languages: Python, SQL
- Libraries: HuggingFace, OpenCV, LangChain, Tesseract, Pandas, Polars
- Tools: Streamlit, GitLab, Postgres, Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Office
- AI Services (Optional): OpenAI API, UiPath, Gemini AI, Docker, Google Cloud, AWS

Expected Achievements
- Familiarity with internal AI pipelines and operational metrics.
- MVP of a reporting assistant with real stakeholder feedback.
- Prototype for extracting structured BOM data from at least one visual format.
- Final-year or graduate-level student in AI, Data Science, or Software Engineering.
- Practical experience with Python and basic machine learning.
- Eagerness to tackle real-world, messy data challenges.
- Bonus: Interest in manufacturing, visual data, or operational processes.
