Part-Time AI Video & Content Marketing Intern
AMD Lasers | West Jordan, Utah
Part-Time Paid Role | 15–25 Hours per Week | Flexible Around Class Schedule
About AMD Lasers
AMD Lasers is an innovative dental technology company located in West Jordan, Utah. We develop, manufacture, and market products used by dental professionals throughout the United States and around the world.
We are looking for a creative student to join our Marketing team in a part-time role focused on content creation, social media, and especially AI-powered video creation.
This is not an internship where you'll spend most of your time watching other people work. We want someone who is excited to experiment, create, and help us discover new ways to use AI to produce engaging marketing content.
You'll work directly with AMD's Marketing team to create content that educates, entertains, and engages dental professionals. A major focus of the position will be exploring how generative AI can help us create more—and better—video content faster.
Projects may include:
- Creating short-form videos for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms
- Turning product concepts and marketing ideas into AI-generated video scenes
- Developing AI avatars, presenters, animations, and visual demonstrations
- Writing and refining prompts for AI video and image-generation platforms
- Combining AI-generated video with traditional product footage
- Creating product demonstrations and educational videos
- Developing motion graphics, captions, voiceovers, music, and other creative elements
- Creating social media graphics, images, and supporting marketing content
- Experimenting with new AI video, image, voice, and content-creation platforms
- Developing multiple creative versions of content for A/B testing
- Building a library of reusable digital content for AMD's products and brands
- We don't expect you to already know every platform. In fact, part of the job will be discovering new tools, testing them, and figuring out how AMD can use them.
What Could You Create?
- One week you might create a 15-second social video introducing a new dental product.
- The next week you might turn a traditional product photograph into an AI-generated video.
- You could create an animated explanation of how a dental laser works, transform a 45-minute educational webinar into ten pieces of short-form content, create an AI spokesperson for a campaign, develop a humorous social video, or test five completely different creative approaches to see which generates the most engagement.
- Some projects will be polished and professional.
- Others may be weird, funny, experimental, or completely unexpected.
- We want someone willing to try things.
Who We're Looking For
This role could be a great fit for a student studying: Marketing • Digital Marketing • Communications • Film & Video Production • Digital Media • Graphic Design • Animation • Advertising • Content Creation • AI / Emerging Media
You don't need extensive professional experience.
We're more interested in your creativity, curiosity, technical aptitude, and ability to turn an idea into something people actually want to watch.
An ideal candidate:
- Loves creating videos and digital content
- Is fascinated by generative AI
- Regularly experiments with new technology
- Understands what makes short-form social content interesting
- Has a good visual eye
- Can tell a story quickly
- Enjoys experimenting with different creative concepts
- Isn't afraid to create something, discover that it doesn't work, and try again
- Can work independently and take an idea from concept through finished content
- Pays attention to trends without simply copying them
- Is comfortable receiving feedback and rapidly revising creative work
Helpful Skills
Experience with any of the following is helpful, but definitely not required:
- AI video-generation platforms
- AI image-generation tools
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- After Effects
- Photoshop
- Illustrator
- Canva
- CapCut
- Photography or videography
- Motion graphics
- Animation
- Graphic design
- Scriptwriting
- Generative AI and prompt development

- Video editing
- Content strategy
- Social media marketing
- Creative development
- Storytelling
- Product marketing
- Digital advertising
- Marketing analytics
- Working with a professional marketing team

That means you'll be able to build a portfolio of real-world work.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an AI Intern
Start with OPT or CPT, not H-1B
Most AI internships are filled by F-1 students using CPT during school or OPT after graduation. Employers don't need to file an H-1B petition for these, which makes sponsorship far less complicated and more common than you might expect.
Target companies with a history of H-1B conversions
The strongest internship opportunities are at companies that routinely convert interns to full-time H-1B employees. Look for employers who have sponsored AI or machine learning roles in previous years, as they understand the process and budget for it.
Confirm CPT eligibility with your DSO before applying
CPT requires prior authorization from your Designated School Official and must be directly tied to your degree program. Apply for CPT approval before you accept an offer, since starting work without it jeopardizes your F-1 status entirely.
A computer science or related degree is usually required
Most employers treat AI internships as specialty occupation roles requiring a degree in computer science, data science, or a closely related field. A general business or unrelated degree will typically not satisfy the specialty occupation standard for sponsorship purposes.
Apply early, OPT timelines are tight
USCIS recommends filing your OPT application up to 90 days before your program end date, and processing takes three to five months. Missing this window means a gap in work authorization, so plan your internship timeline around your OPT application, not the other way around.
Ask about STEM OPT extension eligibility upfront
If your degree qualifies as a STEM field, you may be eligible for a 24-month OPT extension after your initial 12 months. AI and machine learning roles almost always qualify, giving you up to three years of work authorization before an H-1B petition is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an employer sponsor an AI intern for an H-1B visa?
Not directly for an internship, since H-1B visa petitions are for full-time specialty occupation employment, not short-term intern roles. Most AI internships are supported through F-1 CPT or OPT instead. The H-1B pathway becomes relevant if the company converts you to a full-time employee after graduation and sponsors you in a future lottery cycle.
What visa status do most AI interns use to work legally in the U.S.?
The majority of international AI interns work under F-1 CPT during their degree program or F-1 OPT after graduation. CPT is employer-specific and tied to your curriculum, while OPT gives you 12 months of open work authorization, with a 24-month STEM extension available for qualifying degrees. You can find internships open to both on Migrate Mate.
Does my degree field affect whether an AI internship qualifies as a specialty occupation?
Yes, significantly. AI and machine learning roles are evaluated as specialty occupations, meaning the position must theoretically require a degree in a specific field like computer science, data science, or electrical engineering. A degree in an unrelated field can make it harder for an employer to justify sponsorship, even if your skills are strong.
What are my options if I don't win the H-1B lottery after my AI internship converts to full-time?
If you lose the H-1B lottery, you have a few paths: apply again in the next cycle while remaining on OPT or STEM OPT if you still have time remaining, explore cap-exempt employers such as universities or nonprofit research institutions, or consider O-1A sponsorship if you've built a strong record of publications, awards, or notable contributions in AI research.
How competitive is H-1B sponsorship for AI roles compared to other tech positions?
AI and machine learning roles are among the most frequently sponsored positions in the H-1B system, with major technology companies, research labs, and startups all filing regularly. That said, sponsorship depends on the employer's willingness and resources, not just the role type. Smaller companies may lack the infrastructure to sponsor even strong candidates in high-demand fields.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored AI Intern jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
