Working closely with the departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Energy, the Energy Systems Group designs energy solutions for the military and help bolster the U.S. energy infrastructure's resilience against natural and man-made threats. Our power system and controls engineers use real-time, regional, and interdependent simulations of energy infrastructure to protect power grids against large-scale outages. We design microgrids that can disconnect from the utility grid to serve communities during disasters while minimizing fuel use. Our systems analysts identify improved architectures for energy systems at defense sites, and our cybersecurity experts develop the foundation for secure control systems for industrial processes. Our staff serve as technical advisors to Department of Defense agencies, guiding investments in energy research and addressing the technical gaps in defense energy systems. We work with MIT and other universities to apply their basic energy research to energy challenges faced by the military, such as extending the range of unmanned vehicles. We are actively expanding our portfolio of resilience work to include related infrastructure sectors like water and threats like climate impacts. Projects are conducted in a team environment, leveraging expertise from within our Homeland Protection mission area and the broader Laboratory to successfully execute nationally important and cutting-edge efforts.Job DescriptionOur group is seeking highly motivated scientists and engineers who are interested in solving challenging technical problems. Typical activities include energy systems modeling, data analysis, hardware prototyping, and supporting technology demonstration, testing and evaluation activities.RequirementsPh.D. in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, or Computer Science, or a related discipline. In lieu of a Ph.D., a M.S. with at least 5 years of directly related experience will be considered.Ability to quickly learn new technical areas and apply that knowledge effectively to solve challenging problemsKnowledge to develop, implement, test and evaluate novel algorithms and conceptsAbility to perform technical analysis, modeling, and simulation of complex problemsThe ability to clearly present technical concepts to a wide spectrum of audiencesProficient at high-level software languages (e.g., Python, Matlab)Must work in both a team-oriented environment and independently.Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills.Experience in one of the following areas:
