We will teach you how to interview our clients, understand and rewrite technical challenges according to methods such as Systems Engineering Design, technology decomposition, and innovation management. Furthermore, you will actively work together with our (AI) developers to improve IGOR^AI continuously. Curious to see what you will deliver?
