From revolutionizing power for AI-driven data centers to ensuring resilience for hospitals, electric grids, manufacturing facilities, and utilities, our solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolyzer (SOEC) technologies are redefining what’s possible by delivering energy abundance for all. With more than 30,000 fuel cell modules deployed worldwide, we are the trusted partner for Fortune 100 companies and innovators alike. Our cutting-edge solutions enable unparalleled “time-to-power” capabilities, reliability, and sustainability, ensuring our customers remain ahead in a world where soaring energy demand and intensifying energy scarcity are rapidly becoming the new norm. At Bloom, we thrive on collaboration, bold thinking, and relentless innovation. We believe that, together, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future while tackling the most pressing challenges of the 21st century.

Department Overview

Systems Engineering defines technical requirements for Bloom’s next-generation products, develops those products, and validates that our designs meet the company’s needs. Within the Electrical subgroup, we hold responsibility for developing the electrical elements of manufacturable and installable products. We interface with marketing and applications engineers to connect customer needs with detailed product requirements. We work closely with electronics designers, mechanical engineers, and vendors to develop subsystem designs. We plan, execute, and report on testing for design validation, compliance, and reliability. We train manufacturing, installation, and field service teams on our designs, and we continue to make improvements throughout the product’s lifecycle.

Intern Project

Interns will have a primary project during the summer internship and may work on additional projects. While the project could change by the time of the internship, we anticipate that the main project will involve the following: Our interns will be working side by side with senior engineers every day in the lab performing design validation and compliance testing of our latest generation system designs, and improving the design of our products. Interns should expect to have full responsibility for completing at least one test in our test suite, and/or the design of at least one subsystem of one of our products.

Position Responsibilities

• Assist engineers in the research, design, development and test of a variety of electrical systems used in distributed energy resources, hydrogen generation and microgrids.
• Investigate future technologies and architectures, in particular on microgrids and storage systems.
• Design subsystems in new product line and suggest/make improvements to existing products under the direction of other senior engineers.
• Provide technical support for existing products to analyze design and process related issues, production and field problems
• Carry out various test programs to evaluate performance of new and existing products
• Prepare project report and present to team in the last week of internship.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently a student earning a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Must be graduating between spring 2027 and summer 2028

Desired Qualifications

• Thorough understanding of electrical power systems, power electronics, control systems.
• Knowledge of renewable energy technologies, battery storage or grid parallel systems is a plus.
• Modelling power electronics in Matlab or PSCAD is a plus.
• Good analytical and problem-solving skills. Critical thinking, able to think "outside the box."
• Good communication skills.
• Hands-on experience in laboratory environment or similar industry design experience is a plus but not essential.
