We are looking for a few interns to work on our technology development in Summer of 2024. We are currently in a phase where we are building pilot units of our technology, preparing for manufacture and scale-up, and refining our business model, so you will be stepping into our company at an exciting time of growth.
We have several internship roles available. We are looking for mechanical engineering students interested in design, testing, and analysis. We are also looking for business students interested in financial modeling and customer discovery. Passion for renewable energy, sustainability, or entrepreneurship is a plus. We look for self-driven students, excited to contribute to a startup that is moving quickly and pushing the boundaries of renewable energy technology development.
During the Summer of 2024 Accelerate Wind is working on a couple of exciting initiatives that you could be part of.
Engineering:
Install and field testing of our prototype turbine on a mock building in Spanish Fork, Utah
Designing components for large-scale manufacturing
Designing components for installation on buildings
Drivetrain development
Business:
Developing our supply chain model
Financial forecasting for the business
Preparation for our next investment round
About Accelerate Wind
Accelerate Wind is an early-stage startup, focused on helping commercial buildings affordably reach their renewable energy goals. Today we do this through our edge-of-roof wind turbine which uses modern airfoil shapes to take advantage of the fact that wind speeds are naturally faster at the edges of the roof than other parts of the roof. Our system has been designed alongside scientists at Argonne National Lab and funded by the National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, NYSERDA, and many others over the course of our research and development. A core piece of our design involves validated computational fluid dynamics models which allow us to use modern airfoil shapes to direct wind coming over the edge of a building toward a wind turbine.
Our team is passionate about sustainability, customer-focused, and looking to develop scalable solutions to climate change.
Compensation
Internships will provide a competitive stipend, and for those in-person full-time, travel relocation and housing reimbursement.
Location
In-person roles will be in Spanish Fork, Utah, or Birmingham, AL. Mechanical engineers must spend the month of June in Spanish Fork, Utah. Remote options available.
Timeline
We hope to finalize all Summer offers by end of March, 2024.
