• Gather and analyze system data to evaluate performance. 
• Help prepare results and recommendations for improvements. 
• Participate in the deployment of control systems into real commercial projects. 
• Support the broader Innovation team with research, technology evaluations, and small projects. 

Skills And Experience 

• Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Renewable Energy, or related field (Junior, Senior, Master’s/PhD students preferred). 
• Basic understanding of SCADA systems, data acquisition, or industrial controls is a plus. 
• Experience or coursework in Python, control systems, or networking is a plus. 
• Willingness to learn, intelligently experiment, and work both independently and as part of a team. 
• Strong communication skills and ability to document and present work. 
• Interest in renewable energy and emerging technologies. 
• Exposure to tools like Ignition, SEL relays, GE RX3i, or Canary Labs is helpful to have.
