Job Description
Summary: Vantage Data Centers is seeking an undergraduate or graduate intern to help prototype an AI-assisted, interactive model for resilient energy systems. The role focuses on conceptual system modeling and explaining system-level tradeoffs involving grid power, renewable energy, and energy storage.
Responsibilities:
- Build a modular, interactive representation of energy system components (grid, renewables, on‑site generation, storage) and how they can be “stacked” in different market contexts
- Use AI tools to help explain system‑level tradeoffs across cost, reliability, speed‑to‑power, and flexibility
- Develop scenario‑based views (e.g., weak grid vs. strong grid, fast AI load ramp vs. gradual ramp) that show how different energy stacks perform conceptually
- Translate complex energy concepts into clear, executive‑ready narratives that support product and market discussions
- Document assumptions, limitations, and areas where more detailed engineering or simulation would be required
- Additional duties as assigned by management
Required Qualifications:
- Comfort with systems thinking and understanding how components interact
- Curiosity about infrastructure and real‑world constraints
- Interest in AI as a reasoning and decision‑support tool
Preferred Qualifications:
- STEM background preferred but not required
Required Skills: Systems thinking, AI tools
Important Skills: Energy systems modeling
Nice-to-Have Skills: Curiosity about infrastructure
