Job Description:

Found Energy is building clean energy delivery platforms capable of replacing fossil fuels for heavy industries ranging from aluminum production (4% of global CO2 emissions) to fertilizer production (2% of global CO2 emissions) to maritime shipping (3% of global CO2 emissions). Building off technology developed at MIT that enables metallic aluminum to split water, our energy delivery systems safely generate hydrogen and industrial heat on-site at > 5x the volumetric energy density of liquid hydrogen and > 3x that of methanol and ammonia. By integrating storage, transport, and generation into a single package, our technology solves some of the biggest pain points in renewable energy transportation and storage.At Found Energy, we believe in securing a livable and equitable future for our planet, and we are looking for partners who are motivated by this goal to join us.Job Overview:Found Energy is at the cutting edge of hydrogen generation technology, pioneering systems that have the potential to revolutionize energy solutions worldwide. As we scale our reactor systems to support our minimum viable product (MVP) and commercial pilot demonstrations, we are building data infrastructure and analytics capabilities to support operational insights, optimization, and decision-making.As a Data Engineer Co-op, you will be instrumental in building and maintaining the data infrastructure necessary to analyze and improve our reactor systems. You will work closely with our R&D, automation, and engineering teams to collect, organize, and analyze data generated by our systems. Your work will help drive efficiency, reliability, and scalability in our operations, playing a key role in advancing our mission to create impactful climate technologies.Co-op Duration: 6 months, with potential extension. July 2025 - December 2025Responsibilities and Duties:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines to collect and process real-time and historical data from reactor systems and subsystems.
• Develop and optimize database schemas and storage solutions for structured and unstructured data.
• Integrate data from diverse sources, including sensors, control systems, and third-party APIs, ensuring data quality and consistency.
• Collaborate with automation and R&D teams to define data requirements for system monitoring and performance analysis.
• Create dashboards and visualizations to monitor system performance, enabling data-driven decision-making.
• Develop and implement algorithms for data analysis, including trend detection, anomaly identification, and predictive modeling.
• Ensure data security, integrity, and compliance with company and industry standards.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to the development of best practices for data engineering processes.
• Document data workflows, pipelines, and technical procedures.Qualifications:
  • Passionate about climate tech and its potential to impact the world.
  • Pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Applied Math, or a related field.
  • Familiarity with programming languages such as Python and SQL.
  • Experience with data processing frameworks such as Pandas, Apache Spark, or similar.
  • Knowledge of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g
