Job Description

The Advanced Computing Operations (ACO) group facilitates cutting edge computational innovations and testbeds to find tomorrow's solutions today. Collaboration is at the heart of our work — our staff partner with scientists across NREL to deeply understand their computational challenges, to develop or co-develop tailored solutions, and leveraging our hybrid compute offerings, to provide the technical expertise needed to push boundaries in renewable energy and sustainability.

As an intern supporting the ACO group in the Computational Science Center (CSC) at NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory), this intern will work with the High-Performance Computing (HPC) team to help support the NREL HPC users and systems as you will play a vital role in further developing ACO’s data analytics and reporting.

The Internship focus is data analytics and reporting. Working with the ACO in-house virtual private cloud team to gather information on the systems and how they are being used, our goal is to determine what reporting is meaningful to understand current usage patterns and resource utilization to the team and management. A stretch goal is to break that utilization reporting down to regular monthly reporting by project, to help each project’s Primary Investigator (PI) understand their resource utilization so they can plan and schedule work more effectively and efficiently.

Day-to-day tasks include:

• Learning how an on-site virtual private cloud operates
• Gain understanding of HPC applications and use cases
• Examine gathered data as it relates to resource utilization
• Create meaningful reporting (data analytics)
• Contribute to daily discussions and provide project status updates
• Contribute to technical documentation
• Software development in an agile environment
