Intern – Laboratory Testing Support
About The Position
This is a six-month internship with structured assignments and increasing ownership. Strong performers may be considered for future full-time opportunities based on business need and role availability. This Intern will support test planning and reporting product and system testing at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) and ON.energy’s Houston laboratory. The intern will help turn engineering requirements into practical test plans, organize execution evidence, prepare clear draft reports by giving support to the laboratory engineers. This is a variable-term, remote R&D internship with optional travel. Please Note: This is a remote position. Optional travel may include visits to NLR, Houston, or other test locations. On-site participation is subject to applicable access, training, and safety requirements.
Requirements
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a B.S. or M.S. in electrical engineering, data science, or a related technical field.
- Coursework or project experience related to power systems, energy storage, power electronics or laboratory testing is preferred.
- Working knowledge of Excel and experience with Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or a similar data-analysis tool.
- Strong technical writing, attention to detail, and the ability to organize engineering information across a distributed team.
- Follow laboratory safety, access, and confidentiality requirements. The intern will not perform energized electrical work unless a separately qualified and authorized user is present.
Responsibilities

- Document deviations and open questions for engineering review. Support test plan revisions and retest planning when needed.
- Build a reusable tool that can ingest lab test data in different formats and produce consistent, report-ready graphs. Document the tool so future data sets can be processed efficiently and results can be reproduced.
- Check data quality, create plots, interpret and compare measured results with defined criteria under engineering direction.
- Draft test reports and concise campaign summaries covering results, issues, and next steps. Clearly distinguish measured facts from interpretation and open questions.
