Internship Predictive Control of Home Energy Management Systems

At Bosch we shape the future with high-quality technologies and services that inspire enthusiasm and improve people's lives. Our promise to our employees stands firm: we grow together, enjoy our work and inspire each other. Welcome to Bosch. Robert Bosch GmbH looks forward to your application! The energy transition is more than a buzzword for you – it is a fascinating challenge you want to help shape. Are you ready to take the efficiency of home energy management systems (HEMS) to a new level with innovative predictive control algorithms? With us you dive deep into the world of intelligent energy optimization and help make the energy demand of buildings more flexible and sustainable.

• During your internship you extend existing control algorithms and further develop simulation-based system models to map the complexity of HEMS.
• Practical and real-time capable algorithms for predictive control of HEMS you implement independently and bring them to application maturity.
• You precisely evaluate the performance of your algorithms within the framework of various simulation studies and derive optimization potentials from them.
• Last but not least you keep yourself constantly up to date through comprehensive literature research on the current state of the art in the field of predictive control, modeling and optimization methods for HEMS and bring new insights into the team.

• Education: Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Cybernetics, Energy Engineering, Electrical Engineering or comparable with good to very good academic performance
• Experience and know-how: Solid programming skills in Python or Matlab/Simulink; Knowledge in model predictive control
• Personality and work style: You are able to work independently on tasks, contribute your own ideas and enrich the team through an open and collaborative work style
• Daily work: Hybrid work environment with office days and mobile work by arrangement
• Languages: Negotiation-proficient English
• Prerequisite for the internship is enrollment at a university.
