Department Overview

Remote monitoring control center (RMCC) is responsible for monitoring, optimizing and supporting field services for entire fleet of over 30,000 fuel cells deployed worldwide.

Intern Project

Interns will have a primary project during the summer internship and may work on additional projects. While the project could change by the time of the internship, we anticipate that the main project will involve the following:

Analyze fuel cell operational data, validate existing degradation detection logic, improve detection accuracy, and develop automation to streamline the workflow from detection and validation through notification, tracking, and resolution.

Position Responsibilities

Analyze historical and real-time fuel cell operating data to identify degradation patterns and abnormal operating behavior.

Validate existing Fuel Cell Degradation Detection algorithms using known historical events and operational data.

Evaluate detection accuracy, including false positives, false negatives, precision, and recall.

Develop and optimize algorithms for earlier and more reliable identification of fuel cell degradation.

Use Python and statistical analysis to evaluate operating trends, thresholds, correlations, and anomalies.

Develop automated data pipelines and tools to continuously monitor fleet data for potential degradation conditions.

Automate workflows from detection → validation → notification → action tracking → resolution.

Develop dashboards and reporting tools to monitor detected conditions and algorithm performance.

Collaborate with RMCC operators and engineers to validate algorithm results against actual operating conditions.

Document algorithms, validation methodologies, automated workflows, and performance results.
