As a Power Systems Engineering Intern on Base’s Risk & Trading team, you’ll help model how our network of distributed residential batteries interacts with the grid, at both the distribution and transmission levels. During your internship you’ll be tasked with important problems for the business and expected to deliver just like any other full-time member of the team. You’ll work alongside Base’s power systems engineers on power flow studies, grid models, and the analysis behind where our batteries are deployed and how they’re dispatched.

This is hands-on engineering work with real stakeholders. The studies and tools you build will be used by Base’s operations and business development teams and can shape how we work with utilities and grid operators. You’ll own a scoped project end to end, from defining the study and building the model to presenting what you found.

Help design and run power flow studies (e.g., steady-state and contingency analyses) for Base battery aggregation use cases.

Build and validate distribution and transmission system models, using standard test topologies such as the IEEE test feeders.

Write Python to automate studies so they can be solved programmatically and run on a recurring basis.

Analyze and visualize study results and grid data, and turn them into clear recommendations, such as where on a feeder Base’s systems create the most value.

Compile and present your results to power systems engineers and the broader Risk & Trading team.

What You'll Bring

Currently pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related technical field.

Coursework, research, or project experience in power systems: power flow, per-unit systems, and three-phase analysis.

Proficiency in Python for data analysis and visualization (e.g., pandas, NumPy, matplotlib).

A strong foundation in linear algebra and numerical methods (e.g., Newton-Raphson).
