A Systems Modeling Intern will assist in developing and integrating models for factory processes related to battery materials production, using first-principles techniques and software tools to optimize system efficiency, detect issues, and support plant design and operation.
Key Responsibilities
Develop system models for mechanical, thermal, and chemical components of factory systems.
Integrate live factory data into models to detect equipment anomalies.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and provide modeling solutions.
Optimize plant efficiency through simulation and data analytics.
Apply principles of motors, pumps, sensors, actuators, and thermodynamics to model plant behavior.
Requirements
Pursuing a B.S. or advanced degree in software engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, materials science, or another discipline with significant relevant coursework.
Prior internship or relevant project work experience with physical process modeling or controls systems.
Working knowledge of Python and or simulation software packages, and functional software engineering skills.
Working knowledge of Simulink, Matlab, and or FEA CFD modeling tools.
Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and thermodynamics first principles and fundamentals.
Readiness to work on complex system design.
Self-motivated, hands-on attitude, with a willingness to contribute at all levels.
Benefits & Perks
Compensation will be commensurate with experience
Full-time position
Summer internship (temporary, seasonal work)
Potential for travel (occasional travel requirements)
Work in challenging conditions with PPE (exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, temperature extremes)
Location in Reno, Nevada with responsibility for housing and transportation arrangements
