About the Job

Requirements

  • You are currently a final-year engineering-school student or pursuing a bac+5 university curriculum in data science, artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, or computer science, with a strong interest in energy issues.
  • You have knowledge of deep learning models and Python.
  • You have an interest in climate-change topics and the operation of the electrical system.
  • You can demonstrate creativity, autonomy, and rigor, and have good analytical skills and the ability to critically assess results.

Responsibilities

  • Familiarize yourself with the existing deep-learning model trained on simulations from hydrological models representing soil and water flows, and seek to improve its parameters.
  • Create a new training dataset by changing its spatial resolution to train a new model and improve the performance and realism of the resulting flows.
  • Depending on initial results and time remaining, test other artificial-intelligence architectures, particularly graph neural networks.
  • Study influences within hydrological valleys, including how water flows from upstream to downstream, and assess whether artificial-intelligence models represent these influences correctly or how to make them account for them.
  • Consider adding human influences, such as agricultural withdrawals and water retention in lakes, to the simulated flows to better represent observed flows.
  • Work under the joint supervision of a multidisciplinary pair from the Climate team in R&D and the AI Grid service in the Data, Artificial Intelligence and Analytics Directorate.

About the Company

RTE

Manages France's high-voltage electricity grid

RTE manages France’s high- and extra-high-voltage electricity transmission network to move energy where it is needed and keep supply balanced every second, 24/7. Its system operates in real time with control tools to balance generation and consumption, while its onshore and offshore infrastructure transports electricity across long distances. As Europe’s largest HV network, it serves a public-interest mission by connecting territories, industries, and new power sources to support decarbonization and industrial renewal. Its goal is to accelerate France’s energy transition by reliably delivering electricity to all areas and sectors, enabling electrification and a carbon‑free future.
