Job Description:
We invite a graduate-level intern to strengthen integration between our world's fastest meso-coupled GPU-based large-eddy simulation (LES) and AI/machine-learning calibration algorithms for wind resource and wake prediction. You’ll work with a mature LES platform (including actuator-disk and/or engineering wake models) and fuse simulation outputs with met-mast and turbine data from our fleet. The objective is time-correlated predictions that sharpen annual energy production (AEP) and loads estimates, improve wind turbine suitability decisions, and create clearer view of risk and value.
Project Outcomes:
Scope is intentionally flexible. Potential tracks include:
1. Designing and running focused LES studies across key terrain/stability regimes
2. Validating predictions against multi-height mast and SCADA data with clear performance metrics
3. Quantifying bias and uncertainty to support decision thresholds
4. Training fast surrogate models for layout and risk screening
5. Prototyping practical methods to better align simulations with observed conditions.
Primary Skills Developed:
Skills you’ll develop:
• Practical data-analysis workflows; CFD/LES and atmospheric boundary-layer fundamentals
• Python data science at scale (Xarray/Dask/Pandas)
• Modern machine-learning methods for regression and time-series prediction
• Statistical evaluation and uncertainty quantification
• Reproducible, version-controlled workflows
• Clear technical communication.
Business value: reducing uncertainty in turbine suitability, AEP, and loads improves siting, curtailment strategy, and financial models. High-impact outputs will be piloted on live projects and, if effective, integrated into our internal assessment toolkit.
Internship Term Dates:
May/June - August 2026
Qualifications:
- Currently pursuing a Masters or Doctorate in Engineering, Mathematics, or Applied Science
- Minimum GPA 4.0 / 5.0 scale.
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience running Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models
- Proficiency in scientific Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Xarray.
- Experience with data mining, data engineering, or machine learning techniques
- Familiarity with high performance cloud computing environments
- Experience in atmospheric flows and wind-farm atmosphere interactions
- Familiarity with remote sensing applied to atmospheric measurements (Lidar, Sodar, Radar)
- Experience using Aero-elastic simulation tools such as FAST, Flex, or Bladed
