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 Remote monitoring control center (RMCC) is responsible for monitoring, optimizing and supporting field services for entire fleet of over 30,000 fuel cells deployed worldwide.

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:

Analyze fuel cell operational data, validate existing degradation detection logic, improve detection accuracy, and develop automation to streamline the workflow from detection and validation through notification, tracking, and resolution.

Position Responsibilities

• Analyze historical and real-time fuel cell operating data to identify degradation patterns and abnormal operating behavior.
• Validate existing Fuel Cell Degradation Detection algorithms using known historical events and operational data.
• Evaluate detection accuracy, including false positives, false negatives, precision, and recall.
• Develop and optimize algorithms for earlier and more reliable identification of fuel cell degradation.
• Use Python and statistical analysis to evaluate operating trends, thresholds, correlations, and anomalies.
• Develop automated data pipelines and tools to continuously monitor fleet data for potential degradation conditions.
• Automate workflows from detection → validation → notification → action tracking → resolution.
• Develop dashboards and reporting tools to monitor detected conditions and algorithm performance.
• Collaborate with RMCC operators and engineers to validate algorithm results against actual operating conditions.
• Document algorithms, validation methodologies, automated workflows, and performance results.

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Must be graduating between spring 2027 and summer 2028

Desired Qualifications

• Proficiency in Python.
• Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software development.
• Experience with data analysis using Pandas, NumPy, or similar tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work with large datasets and translate operational requirements into software solutions.
• Experience with SQL/NoSQL databases, REST APIs, Git, and data pipelines.
• Knowledge of statistical analysis, anomaly detection, classification, or time-series analysis.
• Familiarity with machine-learning libraries
• Experience developing automation, monitoring applications, dashboards, or engineering tools.
• Interest in energy systems, predictive analytics, reliability engineering, or AI/ML.
• Ability to evaluate algorithm performance using measurable metrics and test datasets.
