Are you interested in researching and developing new energy market models and optimization functions for real industrial smart grid applications? Here's the right internship opportunity for you!
Join our research group, Autonomous Control and Operations, located in Princeton, NJ, for a 6 - 12 month internship, and investigate new energy market models and optimization functions for smart grids. Our close contact with different business units in Siemens provides the opportunity to contribute to and gain experience in real industrial applications. During this internship, you will experience the excitement and challenges of industrial research. An internship with Siemens Technology is a great opportunity for students to gain real-world experience in a diverse work environment.
In this role, you will work on-site in Princeton, NJ.
Our Princeton facility is recognized for providing a stimulating environment for highly talented and self-motivated students. You will have the opportunity to test your knowledge in a challenging problem-solving environment. You will be encouraged to think out of the box, innovate and find solutions to real-life problems. Our team has a strong publication record in leading journals and conferences.
Key responsibilities:
* Contribute to industrial software R&D projects in modeling and optimization for energy markets and smart grids
* Implement concepts and develop product-level software in Python
