About the role

Flywheel energy storage combines power electronics, electric machines, control systems, structural dynamics, and power systems engineering. Our intern will gain early exposure to how these disciplines come together in a real-world product—from concept and testing to documentation and customer support. This internship is designed for early-career engineering students who are curious about power and energy systems and want to learn how engineering work is performed in an industrial environment. While some of the intern's time will be spent assisting engineers with technical tasks, a significant portion of this role involves engineering-adjacent administrative work. This includes organizing data, preparing documentation, and supporting project tracking using Microsoft Office tools. The goal is to help you understand how engineering teams operate day-to-day while building strong professional skills alongside technical fundamentals.

What You’ll Learn

· Basics of flywheel energy storage systems and how they interface with electrical grids

· Fundamentals of power electronics, electric machines, and energy storage applications

· How engineering teams document designs, test results, and project progress

· How large technical projects are organized, tracked, and communicated
