Software Engineer Internship

We build large-scale solar and battery storage systems across California — and we need a sharp software intern to help us push the tech forward. You won't be fetching coffee. You'll be shipping code, training models, and seeing your work deployed on live energy systems. **What You'll Build** * **ML \& Optimization:** Train and tune models for solar generation forecasting, battery dispatch optimization, and anomaly detection on live sensor data. * **Python Integration:** Write backend scripts and APIs that connect inverters, battery systems, and SCADA platforms into a unified data pipeline. * **UI/UX Development:** Design and build web dashboards so engineers and clients can monitor system performance in real time — clean, functional, and fast. * **Automation \& Control Logic:** Assist in programming automation sequences for solar\+storage systems including safety interlocks and operational workflows. * **Solar Software Integration:** Integrate inverter platforms, data loggers, and monitoring APIs into our Energy Management System (EMS). * **Electrical Design Support:** Collaborate with licensed engineers on load calculations, single-line diagrams, and NEC-compliant system layouts. **Tech Stack \& Tools** Python · REST APIs · Modbus/DNP3 · SQL · React or similar JS framework · Figma · scikit-learn / TensorFlow · Git · Linux **Who We're Looking For** **Must have:** * Pursuing a BS/MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field * Strong Python skills — you write clean, readable code * Experience building or designing a UI (web app, dashboard, or prototype) * Comfortable working independently and asking smart questions **Big plus:** * ML/data science coursework or personal projects (show us your GitHub) * Experience with IoT, embedded systems, or industrial protocols (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3\) * Interest in energy systems, sustainability, or climate tech * Prior internship, co-op, or freelance software experience Job Types: Full-time, Internship Pay: $20\.00 - $23\.00 per hour Ability to Commute: * Irvine, CA 92618 (Required) Ability to Relocate: * Irvine, CA 92618: Relocate before starting work (Required) Work Location: In person
