Aigents Fellow Brief | Macmahon — Vacation Student Engineer (Mechanical / Mining)

The Complementary Model: Senior engineers spend up to 50% of their week wrangling telemetry data, cross-referencing compliance clauses, and writing repetitive scripts. Kate Corcoran combines top 1% academic rigor with enterprise AI workflow harnesses to absorb this operational drag on Day 1, allowing your lead engineers to focus purely on high-leverage delivery.

Key Technical Projects

Automated Heavy Asset Telemetry Parser: Engineered an agentic ingestion pipeline parsing 500k+ sensor data points per second, detecting thermal and vibration anomalies in heavy rotating machinery. (Reduced manual telemetry diagnostic time by 80%.)

Australian Standards Compliance Assistant: Built a sovereign, local RAG retrieval system indexing heavy vehicle, mechanical safety, and pressure vessel standards to cite applicable clauses in seconds. (Turned a 4-hour manual standards review into a 2-minute verified report.)
