About the Role

As an intern, you’ll work with Gridmatic’s research engineers on electricity market simulation, directly supporting SCUC/SCED development.

 

Responsibilities: 

  • Develop/maintain network security analysis (NSA) to produce reliability constraints across large-scale ISO systems
  • Assist in building and validating SCUC/SCED models, with realistic transmission and contingency constraints.
  • Help automate NSA for integration into market optimization workflows.
  • Support data processing pipelines for network, generator, and market datasets across ISOs (ERCOT, PJM, CAISO, etc.)
  • Experiment with machine learning approaches to accelerate dispatch or contingency evaluation.
  • Document results, highlight performance gaps, and propose improvements

 

Qualifications: 

  • Enrolled in EE, or Energy Systems (MS or PhD student)
  • Coursework in power system operations (unit commitment, economic dispatch, OPF)
  • Familiarity with power flow and network modeling
  • Solid programming skills in Python
  • Comfort with optimization formulations (linear, MILP)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn real-world ISO practices

 

Bonus Skills:

  • Experience with SCUC/SCED formulations in research or coursework
  • Exposure to market data from ISOs (bids, constraints, outage/contingency reports)
  • Familiarity with probabilistic or ML-based methods
