    Building Energy Analysis Engineer - Brookline, United States - Fraunhofer USA

    Default job background
    Description

    The Fraunhofer USA Center for Manufacturing Innovation CMI in Boston, MA is part of Fraunhofer USA, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit contract R&D organization. The Energy Systems team, located in Boston, MA, solves challenging applied research problems for the sustainable energy community. Our team of scientists and engineers works in partnership with clients ranging from the Federal Government and established companies to start-ups to develop, pilot, and validate technologies in the areas of building energy systems and grid-integration of renewables.

    About the Position:

    The Energy Systems team acquires and analyzes novel data sources to derive insights into building energy performance. In particular, we have several multi-year RD&D projects that leverage emerging data streams (e.g., from communicating thermostats and boilers, whole-building and sub-metered/disaggregated electric power) to: 1) develop data-driven models for major building systems and equipment to forecast their energy consumption and flexibility; 2) analyze and evaluate the real-world performance of building technologies; and 3) identify energy-wasting faults and performance optimization opportunities. Ultimately, this work supports the transition to a sustainable energy future by reducing building energy consumption while enabling the electric grid to accommodate large quantities of renewable electricity and new demand from the electrification of space and water heating and transportation.

    We seek a motivated team member to develop, test, and evaluate models and algorithms to predict the real-world energy performance of building equipment and systems, and to help acquire and analyze large datasets obtained from field testing. You will also contribute to new project proposals, as well as publication in top-tier journals and conferences. This position has a high degree of growth potential and is an excellent opportunity for a talented analytically inclined engineer with strong interest in sustainability to address challenging and impactful problems.

    Responsibilities:

    • Apply data-driven techniques and physics-based analysis to model the energy performance of building equipment and systems.
    • Acquire, analyze, and evaluate data from field tests to evaluate the real-world energy performance of buildings and building technologies.
    • Develop and specify custom data acquisition solutions to support data collection.
    • Co-author reports and research papers that effectively communicate research findings to different audiences, as well as government and industrial proposals.
    Required Education and Experience:
    • Advanced degree in building science, engineering physics, mechanical engineering, or a similar field or equivalent experience.
    • Experience with building systems or technologies strongly preferred.
    • Experience with programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB).
    • Strong interest in learning/applying analytical techniques to "noisy" real-world problems.
    • Enthusiasm and aptitude for working with data and designing, building, troubleshooting, and testing data acquisition systems.
    • Experience with databases and multi-GB datasets a plus.
    • Strong verbal and written communication skills and good interpersonal skills.
    • Ability to work effectively independently with limited oversight.
    In your cover letter, please explain what motivates you to apply and succinctly describe your most relevant work experience. Applications lacking a cover letter may not be seriously considered.
