Proscia is revolutionizing pathology, the last major frontier in healthcare to embrace digital. As a leader in pathology AI software, we are empowering pathologists and scientists to transition from traditional microscope-based workflows to digital, AI-driven approaches, unlocking new possibilities in precision medicine.
The digital pathology market is experiencing explosive growth as advances in AI enable unprecedented insights into diseases like cancer. Pathology is central to medicine, and the shift to AI-powered solutions is not just modernizing workflows—it’s transforming how diseases are diagnosed, treated, and understood. Predictions for the future of pathology show a tidal wave of adoption, with experts describing the field as “poised for the next major breakthrough” in healthcare innovation.
Backed by over $100 million in funding from leading healthcare and technology investors, Proscia is at the forefront of this revolution. Joining Proscia means being part of a company at the cutting edge of healthcare innovation, where the possibilities are limitless. With the convergence of AI, precision medicine, and digital pathology, we’re not just changing pathology—we’re redefining what’s possible in medicine.
ABOUT THIS POSITION
We’re looking for a highly motivated summer intern to help evolve Proscia’s content infrastructure into an AI-ready, automation-driven system. This role sits at the intersection of technical communication, AI, and product enablement—focused on transforming how content is created, structured, and delivered to drive customer adoption and AI feature usage. You'll use modern AI tooling daily — drafting taxonomies, prototyping authoring assistants, pressure-testing your own output — because building AI-ready content systems demands AI-native practitioners, not retrofitted ones.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Working at a startup like Proscia means wearing many hats, but when you come to work you can expect to focus on the following:
- Contribute to automated publication pipelines that pull from engineering systems and assemble release-ready content, applying principles of collaborative automation
- Prototype LLM-powered authoring assistants — tagging, classification, content quality checks — integrated directly with our content management system's API
- Design metadata structures that scale with our regulatory footprint and make our content legible to AI agents — the prerequisite for the in-product AI experiences our customers will increasingly rely on
- Decompose composite documentation into modular building blocks that automated pipelines and AI agents can assemble reliably using modern tooling to accelerate the analysis without losing editorial judgment
- Apply WCAG-aligned authoring practices to bring documentation into compliance — including validating AI-generated alt text with the editorial eye to know when the model got it wrong
- Partner with product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to ground content decisions in real user workflows
- Audit and propose a library structure that's navigable for humans and dependable for automated pipelines
- Help build high-leverage assets — in-app guidance, role-based learning paths, AI-consumable content — assembled from the modular building blocks you're creating
ABOUT YOU
We’re looking for people who are smart, nice, & get stuff done. Proscia is a high-growth company, and we want entrepreneurial doers that thrive in a challenging environment, that are ready to build the plane while flying it.
You treat AI tools as a default part of your workflow — drafting, analyzing, and pressure-testing your output with them rather than treating them as novelties. You can validate and constrain what an LLM produces, knowing when the model got it right and when its confidence is bluffing. You think in systems: a tag is also a metadata signal, a topic is also a building block, and a piece of documentation is also context an AI agent will read tomorrow.
Proscia's next Summer Technical Content & AI Automation Intern will have:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Technical Communication, Information Science, Biomedical Engineering, Health Informatics, or a related field
- Demonstrated practice with LLMs and AI agents — you've built, prototyped, or shipped something with them in academic or personal work, and can speak specifically to what worked, what didn't, and why
- Excellent written communication skills with attention to structure, clarity, and usability
- Analytical mindset with the ability to break down complex systems into modular components
- Comfort working with structured content systems, APIs, or technical platforms (experience with XML, DITA, or CCMS tools is a plus)
- Ability to work independently in ambiguous environments and take ownership of projects
- Interest in healthcare, life sciences, or regulated environments (preferred but not required)
- A builder's instinct — you ship rough versions, gather real feedback, and use AI and automation to get more shots on goal
NICE TO HAVE
- Open-source contributions, side projects, or a portfolio that shows how you think and build
- Active in technical writing, content design, or AI-for-content communities — you stay close to where the field is moving
- Experience contributing to documentation in regulated industries, where rigor matters as much as clarity
BEYOND JUST WORK
As a company in healthcare, we want our people to be happy and healthy, in and out of the office. In addition to competitive pay, we ensure everyone on our team is supported with savings, schedule, and insurance options that promote long-term health and personal growth.
Our office environment is designed for creativity and agility: with walls as notepads and couches for collaboration. We’re located in the heart of Philadelphia, with views of the city so you can spend your time focusing on what matters most.
At Proscia, we don’t just accept differences — we celebrate them, we support them, and we thrive on them for the benefit of our employees, our products, and our community. Proscia is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
This internship directly contributes to Proscia’s transition toward an AI-first, automation-driven future—unlocking scalable content systems that drive product adoption, improve regulatory resilience, and power in-product AI experiences.

Get Access To All JobsAutomation Technician CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Automation Technician role qualify for CPT authorization?
It depends on whether the work ties directly to your enrolled program. Roles involving PLC programming, robotics maintenance, or industrial control systems typically qualify for students in electrical engineering technology, mechatronics, or automation engineering programs. Your DSO makes the final determination based on how the position connects to a specific course or degree requirement, not just the job title.
Can I work as an Automation Technician under CPT while taking classes full time?
Yes, part-time CPT (under 20 hours per week) runs concurrently with full-time enrollment, and most Automation Technician CPT placements are structured this way during the academic year. Full-time CPT is typically reserved for co-op semesters where the employer engagement replaces classroom credit. Confirm the weekly hour limit with your DSO before signing an offer letter, since exceeding your authorized hours violates your F-1 status.
Do Automation Technician employers need to file anything with USCIS for CPT?
No. CPT authorization is entirely school-side and doesn't require any employer filing with USCIS or DOL. The employer hires you on the strength of your CPT-endorsed I-20. The only employer-side obligation is completing Form I-9 on your first day of work and verifying your documents, which includes your passport, visa, and amended I-20 showing the authorized employer.
How do I find Automation Technician employers that regularly hire F-1 CPT students?
Search on Migrate Mate, which surfaces employers with documented F-1 hiring history in technical and manufacturing roles. Automation and industrial companies that run co-op programs through universities tend to have established HR processes for CPT students. Facilities with ISO certifications or defense contracts often have compliance infrastructure already in place, making the onboarding process for international students more predictable.
What happens to my OPT eligibility if I complete a full-time Automation Technician CPT placement?
Full-time CPT authorization totaling 12 or more cumulative months makes you ineligible for OPT after graduation, including the STEM OPT extension. Part-time CPT has no effect on OPT eligibility regardless of total duration. If you're planning to use OPT and then pursue H-1B visa sponsorship after graduation, keep each individual full-time CPT semester under the 12-month threshold or structure your placement as part-time.
