Graduate Summer Intern – Modeling and Analysis of Distributed Hybrid Energy Systems

NLR is seeking a graduate summer intern to design and optimize distributed hybrid energy systems focused on producing chemical end‑uses. The intern will integrate technologies across generation, storage, distribution, and chemical end‑uses, run analyses and optimizations to determine optimal sizing technically and economically, deploy scalable strategies for varying hybrid plant sizes in real time, and use simulation tools such as H2

Integrate.
