What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hydrogen Electrolyzer System Simulation Intern position at Bosch USA?
Company Description
We Are Bosch.
At Bosch, we shape the future by inventing high-quality technologies and services that spark enthusiasm and enrich people’s lives. Our areas of activity are every bit as diverse as our outstanding Bosch teams around the world. Their creativity is the key to innovation through connected living, mobility, or industry.
Let’s grow together, enjoy more, and inspire each other. Work
Timeline: Summer 2025, starting May / June 2025 for 6 months
Team & Technology: Within the Power Solutions division based in Farmington Hills MI, Bosch is leveraging our technology leadership and manufacturing scale to accelerate the global clean energy transformation. Bosch is “All in on Hydrogen”, which is a key piece of the puzzle to transform hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy, such as heavy-duty transportation, steel & cement production, chemical refineries, fertilizer production, rail, and marine. We are working on clean hydrogen production technologies with an initial focus on the heart of the electrolysis system, the Hydrogen Electrolyzer stack.
Job Responsibilities: Developing an electrolyzer system in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders requires system simulations with dependencies on energy source, environment, functional and end-use requirements and many other factors. This internship will support the development of specific electricity requirements and other system parameters for the electrolyzer stack. In addition to your technical expertise, we are looking for future engineers who can clearly and simply communicate complex technical concepts, and who can effectively collaborate with a global team. In this internship, you will:

In this internship, you will:
- Perform a literature review of relevant publicly available analyses of integration of Hydrogen Electrolyzers with renewable energy systems.
- Integrate the existing 1D-AMESim simulation model of the electrolyzer stack into the system simulation framework
- Quantify the impact of these representative duty cycles on electrolyzer stack and system operation (e.g.: load transients, thermal conditions, efficiency)
- Explore and quantify impacts of pairing electrolyzer systems with energy storage systems, such as stationary battery storage systems.
- Explore the cost of operation and maintenance with respect to the application requirements.
- Help develop a list of scenarios to be simulated and analyzed for the North American market (e.g.: energy sources (solar, wind, grid, or a combination thereof), energy storage, plant locations, plant configuration, etc.)
- Use Bosch and external simulation tools to develop representative electricity input profiles (“duty cycles") for these scenarios.
- Share knowledge by clearly articulating work and ideas to fellow engineers. Generate insights and report to key decision makers.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Currently pursuing or completed a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or related technical field with a focus on renewable energy, electrochemistry, or process simulation
- Experience analyzing simulation results, interpreting data, and deriving meaningful conclusions
- Experience processing and visualizing large datasets in Matlab or Python
- Experience with 1D AMESim simulations
- Working Knowledge/Experience with Hydrogen Electrolyzer stacks or systems
- Knowledge of Optimization Theory
- Experience with renewable energy analysis
