Electrochemistry Modeling Intern

The Bosch Research and Technology Center North America with offices in Sunnyvale, California, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Cambridge, Massachusetts is part of the global Bosch Group (www.bosch.com), a company with over 70 billion euro revenue, 400,000 people worldwide, a very diverse product portfolio, and a history of over 125 years. The Research and Technology Center North America (RTC-NA) is committed to providing technologies and system solutions for various Bosch business fields primarily in the areas of Human Machine Interaction (HMI), Robotics, Energy Technologies, Internet Technologies, Circuit Design, Semiconductors and Wireless, and MEMS Advanced Design.

As part of Bosch Corporate Research, we are dedicated to long-term fundamental investigations of transformative energy technologies. Our modeling team supports global experimental efforts with fundamental understanding, emphasizing innovation and high technological impact. Using both internal funding and government grants, we collaborate closely with a network of leading computational and experimental teams which includes top universities, national labs, and industrial partners. We strongly encourage high-impact publications and patent applications.

Bosch Research is looking for an intern in electrochemical modelling technologies. Our goal is to enable improved Bosch products through deep understanding of thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport phenomena at the mesoscale level using a variety of computational tools. Strong focus is placed on development and application of computational methods for understanding of next-generation materials, primarily for electrochemistry and energy conversion.

In this particular position, the intern will contribute to the modeling of degradation mechanisms in proton-exchange-membrane electrolyzers. The goal is the accurate prediction of the aging kinetics for iridium in the anode catalyst layer, under various operating conditions.

Required Qualification:

• Pursuing a graduate degree at a top university in applied mathematics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• The candidate should have a strong foundation in computation and mathematics with a focus on electrochemistry, heat transfer, mass transfer, and chemical kinetics.
• Attention to detail, flexibility, creativity, excellent communication, and teamwork skills are a must.

Desired Qualification:

• Significant research and/or coding experience, preferably with fluency in Python
• Experience building electrochemical models of complex systems including interface kinetics, diffusion, and degradation.
• Knowledge of PEM electrolysis electrochemistry is highly desirable.

• On-site Internship
• Duration: 12 weeks

The U.S. base salary range for this intern position is $30.00-$63.00 per hour. Within the range, individual pay is determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to, type of degree, work experience and job knowledge, complexity of the role, type of position, job location, etc. Your Hiring Manager can share more details about the specific salary range for this position during the interview process.

By choice, we are committed to a diverse workforce - EOE/Protected Veteran/Disabled.
