Internship - Control and Estimation for Large-Scale Thermofluid Systems
$72,000–$96,000 year
On-site · Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Job Summary
Internship focused on researching methods for state and parameter estimation and optimization of large-scale thermofluid systems for energy conversion, including vapor-compression cycles and multiphysical coupling across thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and electrical domains. Ideal candidates will have a solid background in control/estimation, numerical methods, and optimization, with strong programming skills in Julia, Python, and Matlab. Familiarity with thermofluid physics, nonlinear dynamics, or equation-oriented languages (Modelica, gPROMS) is a plus. The role offers practical experience in research directions at MERL over a 3-month period, with additional benefits such as relocation stipends, travel support, local commuting assistance, weekly seminars, and potential health Insurance eligibility after a waiting period.
