Internship: Development of an AI for Fault Diagnosis...

The objective of this internship is to develop and experiment with an artificial intelligence model for real-time diagnosis of faults and degradations in optical networks. Based on a natural language processing (NLP) approach through the adaptation of the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) algorithm, the model will group alarms originating from the same root cause in real-time while ensuring continuous learning from feedback from field operators. The intern will first design the model before experimenting with it on real data from live networks. Finally, the solution will be integrated into a multi-agent system equipped with an automated AI pipeline, allowing its deployment and instantiation during field trials in one of Orange Group's subsidiaries. A scientific publication may also be considered at the end of this work.

We are looking for a student in their final year of an engineering cycle or Master's degree (specializing in Telecommunications and/or Computer Science), motivated by technical challenges and applied research.

Required Skills:

• Solid skills in artificial intelligence and software development (particularly in Python),
• Mastery of natural language processing techniques,
• Basic knowledge or strong interest in optical telecommunication networks,

Behavioral Skills and Aptitudes:

• Scientific curiosity, innovative spirit, and a passion for research,
• Ability to work in a team within an agile environment,
• Autonomy, rigor, and good organizational skills.

You will join a team of about twenty people whose activities range from research to deployment in the field of optical transport networks, on subjects as varied as quantum technologies, AI, or software development.

You will work in an innovative field with constantly evolving cutting-edge technologies. A wide range of possibilities will be open to you to enrich your skills in different business areas or deepen your core expertise.

Finally, the project you will collaborate on is intended to meet an operational need, which will allow your results to be concretely valued by field teams.

The proposed gross monthly internship allowance is between 682.52 and 1680.32 euros depending on your current level of study. In addition, you will have access to the Social and Cultural Activities offered by your Social and Economic Committee, subsidized access to the company restaurant or meal vouchers, as well as 50% coverage of your public transport pass.

Orange Innovation Networks is the entity within Orange Innovation that envisions, integrates, and operates the networks of tomorrow, efficient and sustainable, serving the Group's operations.

The Wireline Networks and Infrastructure (WNI) directorate is responsible for innovation, infrastructure architecture, as well as technologies, equipment, and deployment methods for fixed networks.

Within this directorate, the "Architecture and programmable Optical Transmission" department contributes to the improvement of optical transport fiber network technologies and associated architectural evolutions. The "Smart Optical and Automated Networks" team is more specifically in charge of Research and Exploration studies on the most disruptive new technologies with the aim of bringing them to fruition in countries to improve the capacity and operational efficiency of our optical transport networks.
