Keep Moving Forward: Job Search Hope + Deep Dive w/ Dr. Ai Ping Hu (GTRI recruitment) [Virtual]

November 12, 2024 | 6:00 PM
Virtual Event

Walt Disney once said, “Around here…we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things.” It’s a quote from the movie, Meet the Robinsons, and it’s stuck with me as I navigate the job search process. My name is Ved, and I’m a Peer Advisor with the Georgia Tech Career Center. In this workshop, I’ll share my internship search story with you – and also what goes on behind the scenes in an interactive session with GTRI Senior Research Engineer, Dr. Ai-Ping Hu.
Dr. Ai-Ping Hu is a senior research engineer in the Georgia Tech Research Institute’s Food Processing Technology Division. Ai-Ping received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University and Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He worked at a start-up robotics company before joining GTRI in 2009. His research interests include advanced controls for unstructured environments and agricultural robotics.

Find Your Why: The What and How of Leadership Development

Start Date/Time:
November 13, 2024; 1:30 PM
End Date/Time: 
November 13, 2024; 2:45 PM
GEORGIA TECH HOTEL & CONFERENCE CENTER – CONFERENCE ROOM B
Leadership Conference

The XBO Experience will bring a new focus to ongoing and emerging trends, as well as educate newer professionals about the industry’s best practices and proven methods. XBO is the perfect way to prepare new leaders for a generational shift underway now. The “Find Your Why” session will focus on the first step to becoming a leader – deciding that you truly want to be one. Leadership does not correlate directly to a person’s job title or their rank. It has everything to do with mindset. When we put others before ourselves, we have the mindset of a leader, and this can trickle down into a desire to change things for the better, inspire others, and improve yourself. Leadership is also not something which can be measured by metrics alone. It is also difficult to determine the success of a leader over a short time. The way to look at whether someone is a successful leader is based upon the investment provided to others, and the output those individuals produce, which may not be visible right away.

What Sierra Does

Sierra is the conversational AI platform for businesses. We enable consumer brands like Sonos, ADT, and AG1 deploy their own AI agent to elevate their customer experience with AI.

Sierra Tech Talk

Sierra AI agents are transforming customer experiences in the real world. They are helping customers set up Sonos speakers, refresh SiriusXM radios, and process OluKai shoe returns and exchanges. As we’ve scaled with our early customers, we’ve pioneered the field of Agent Engineering and developed the Agent Development Life Cycle to effectively build, test, and optimize AI agents at scale.

In this talk, Zack Reneau-Wedeen will discuss how Sierra builds AI agents to handle millions of customer interactions, how our unique business model adapts from customer service to sales, and how we solved challenges building agents that run anywhere (e.g. over both chat and voice).

Special Announcement

Georgia Tech will be the first college we visit after announcing our new grad roles on 11/11, including a first-of-its-kind new rotational program. Zack will also review the details live and take Q&A.

Working at Sierra: Qualifications

For those interested in applying to Sierra, the following qualifications are preferred:

• Pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science or a related field.
• Professional experience in software engineering or product management, especially with customer-facing responsibilities.
• Expertise in React, TypeScript, Python, Go, and other modern programming languages.

• Demonstrated curiosity and interest in AI applications (e.g., research, jobs, side projects).
