ERS Cell Modeling & Deep Learning Intern in Concord

Location: Concord, NC

Company: GM Performance Power Units (GM PPU)

GM Performance Power Units is seeking an upper-level undergraduate intern to support development of Python tools incorporating cell equivalent circuit models (ECMs) and deep learning methods. This role targets upper-level students who bridge mechanical or chemical engineering with data or computer science and want hands-on experience applying deep learning to battery related problems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help build and maintain simple Python scripts and notebooks for cell data processing and analysis.
• Use PyTorch to set up, train, and evaluate straightforward neural network models under guidance from senior engineers.
• Assist with organizing test and simulation datasets and generating clear plots and summaries for the engineering team.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• Upper-level student in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a similar field.
• Completed at least one 300/3000 level (or higher) Deep Learning, Machine Learning, or Neural Networks course, with some hands on PyTorch experience.
• Solid Python skills and interest in batteries, electrochemistry, or energy storage applications.
• Good communication skills and a collaborative, learning oriented mindset.

Desirable Skills:

• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., GitHub) for version control and collaborative design workflows.
• Hands-on experience, preferably for two years or more, in Formula SAE, Baja SAE, Formula Student, or a similar competitive student engineering program.

Personal Attributes:

• Strong, hands-on engineering mindset with a bias toward building, testing, and iterating rather than only modeling on paper.
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for learning at the intersection of electrochemistry, data science, and software.
• Able to work independently on well-scoped tasks while asking timely questions when blocked.
• Comfortable collaborating with multidisciplinary teammates and incorporating feedback into your work.
• Organized, detail oriented, and committed to clear documentation and high-quality results.
