Mission

Power Aftermarket is developing Remanufactured/Repaired products addressing the automotive aftersales market expectation but it should be noted that the current Reman portfolio is based on OEM products which were not especially designed on purpose.

This is the reason why the Valeo Power division is willing to implement “Design 4R” guidelines (4R standing for Robust Design, Repair, Remanufacture, Recycle) in order to make the next generation of products sustainability driven (Reman 2.0).

In the interest of efficiency, the development of a “4R Configurator AI Agent”, acting as a Sustainable Design Guidelines Provider, will save development efforts in the OEM and Reman products development.

The internship mission is broken down in four chapters:

• Act as 4R Representative in the Power Aftermarket Reman Project Team in order to identify and capitalize the Reman 2.0 Best Practices and existing Design recommendation.
• 4R Configurator Stage 1: Achieve a Mock-up of Sustainable Design Guideline Database when proposing the appropriate Dataspace solution.
• 4R Configurator Stage 2 (AI Agent): Act as 4R Officer in the action plan related to 4R Configurator Proof Of Concept achievement
• Manage the interfacing with contributors like the Group Technical Center 4R Lab and AI4All team, regarding the 4R Configurator Proof Of Concept achievement
