Be a technical student who is interested in real systems and careful about the consequences of software errors.
Responsibilities
Make live energy data understandable.
Build interfaces for status, alarms, events, and telemetry.
Learn how infrastructure software behaves when the physical world is involved.
Own sub-modules inside the codebase and build a living execution engine.
Desired Qualifications
Show initiative through projects, research, internships, competitions, open-source work, robotics, hardware/software projects, simulations, or self-directed technical building.
Have experience working with agents for live data, sensors, energy systems, Internet of Things, visualization, or operational software.
Demonstrate exceptional ability through personal projects.
Overview
Powertown is hiring Forward Deployed Interns to help maintain software for real-time visibility into battery assets. These roles sit close to the physical world. The data represents real equipment, real failures, and real decisions. We want interns who are not afraid of systems that have consequences.
What you'll do
Make live energy data understandable
Build interfaces for status, alarms, events, and telemetry
Learn how infrastructure software behaves when the physical world is involved
Own sub-modules inside the codebase and use your immense talent to string together a living execution engine that becomes the heartbeat of Powertown
Absorb company intel from the team, trust your intuition, predict blockers in the future, and build software that resonates with you
Preferred majors
Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Energy Systems, Robotics, Mathematics, Physics, or a similar technical field.
Ideal candidate
You are a technical student who likes real systems more than toy apps
You are careful, curious, and hard to overwhelm. You like the idea that a bug might not just break a button, but misrepresent what is happening in a live asset
This is a high-agency, high-ownership role. Open to the most artistic thinkers with a knack for identifying when things may break
Preferred qualifications
Evidence of initiative through projects, research, internships, competitions, open-source work, robotics, hardware/software projects, simulations, or self-directed technical building
Experience working with agents for live data, sensors, energy systems, IoT, visualization, or operational software
Exceptional ability exemplified through personal projects
