The Design Engineering Intern will assist in scaling a thermal energy storage system, focusing on design, optimization, CAD modeling, and documentation.
About Electrified Thermal Solutions
Boilers, furnaces, and kilns are the engines of our industrial economy, providing heat to melt steel, form cement, and transform chemicals. But historically reaching this high-temperature heat required burning fossil fuels, making the industrial sector responsible for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Electrified Thermal Solutions has a simple and massive goal: to electrify industry.
To do this, we are building the Joule Hive™ thermal battery: an energy storage technology that converts and stores cheap, renewable electricity as high-temperature heat. Our vision is to mitigate gigatons of CO2 emissions per year by deploying the Joule Hive™ at every industrial furnace, turbine, boiler, and kiln.
About the Role:
As a Design Engineering Intern, you will join our engineering team and play a pivotal role in scaling up our 1 MW Commercial Demonstration Product System to a First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) 5 MW capacity. This internship offers an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience working on a cutting-edge project in renewable energy technology. You will report to the Lead Design Engineer.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the design and optimization of a critical sub-assembly within a 5 MW commercial Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system
- Generate parts, assemblies, and drawings within CAD in collaboration with design engineering and research & development departments
- Leverage engineering analysis and simulation methods to inform design decisions impacting R&D prototyping and final product design
- Maintenance of detailed documentation throughout project work – including design specifications, CAD models, simulation results, and test reports.
- Regular progress updates and technical reports to project stakeholders
About you
- Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Proficiency in any CAD software, such as SolidWorks or Onshape
- Ability to use Microsoft Excel for analytical means.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Familiarity with Python or Matlab is a plus.
- Experience with renewable energy systems, thermal energy storage, or extreme temperature systems is a plus.
