Internship Title – Power System Engineering
Department – Advanced Technology Solutions
Minimum Education level: PhD
Preferred Majors: Power System Engineering
Ready to work on one of the biggest questions facing the future of energy and computing? ISO New England is seeking a PhD intern to explore how flexible data center workloads impact grid reliability, transmission congestion, and renewable energy integration. Bring your curiosity, analytical skills, and passion for solving complex systems challenges—and help shape the future of the electric grid.
Who We Are
ISO New England is one of the most pivotal energy companies you’ve probably never heard of. Our job is to oversee the 24/7 operation of the power grid that covers the six-states of New England and to administer the region’s $10+ billion “stock exchange” for buying and selling of wholesale electricity. Our work ensures that over 14 million people can reliably turn their lights on and complete their jobs, take care of their families, and live in comfort with convenience.
Department Description
The Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) department engages in both long-term research projects and near-term design/process improvements. The department consists of experts in three topic areas: power systems, simulations, and markets. In all projects, the goal of the department is to provide innovative and practical solutions to current and emerging questions for ISO New England.
What You’ll be Working On
As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and data centers continue to grow, the power grid is facing new questions about how large, flexible electricity loads can be integrated reliably and efficiently. This internship will explore “migratory computation”—the idea that certain computing workloads can shift across time or location—to understand when that flexibility can create real operational value for the grid.
You’ll conduct research, review emerging industry approaches, analyze simplified grid scenarios, and communicate findings on how flexible data center demand could impact transmission congestion, renewable energy utilization, and grid reliability. This is a forward-looking opportunity to work at the intersection of power systems, computing, data analysis, and energy innovation.
How You’ll Make an Impact
Your work will help ISO New England better understand whether flexible data center demand can become a meaningful grid resource. The insights from this project may inform future thinking around large-load integration, transmission planning, congestion management, renewable energy utilization, and operating strategies for a rapidly changing electric system.
What We Look for in a Candidate
- A curious, analytical graduate student pursuing a PhD or advanced degree in electrical engineering, power systems, computer science, operations research, data science, applied mathematics, or a related field.
- Experience with Python, data analysis, modeling tools, or technical research is a plus.
- Ideal candidates have an interest in power systems, energy markets, optimization, large-scale computing, or clean energy integration.
- Strong written communication, problem-solving skills, and a willingness to explore emerging questions are highly valued.

Engineering Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a engineering in Massachusetts?
To become a licensed Professional Engineer in Massachusetts, you must earn an accredited engineering degree, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulate qualifying work experience under a licensed PE, and pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers. Many roles in industry do not require a PE license, but obtaining it significantly expands career options, especially in civil, structural, and public-sector engineering.
Which companies hire engineerings in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts engineering roles are posted by Sonos, State Street, and Raytheon and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense primes, life sciences firms, and research universities means engineering demand remains steady across a broad range of specialties year-round.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most engineering jobs?
Boston, Cambridge, and Quincy lead Massachusetts for engineering openings. Greater Boston and the Route 128 tech corridor anchor most of the volume, driven by the dense cluster of defense contractors, biotech companies, and university research institutions based there, while smaller metros like Lowell and Worcester contribute through advanced manufacturing and medical device employers.
Are there remote engineering jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they are limited. About 75% of engineering openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting that much engineering work requires lab access, hardware, or on-site collaboration. The sub-disciplines most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are software-defined systems engineering, data engineering, and certain electrical design roles where deliverables are primarily digital.
How can I get hired as a engineering in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a co-op or new-graduate rotational program, which Massachusetts employers run at a higher rate than most states because of the region's university pipeline. Companies like Raytheon Technologies, GE Aerospace, and Boston Scientific actively recruit through structured new-grad programs. Earning an Engineer-in-Training designation by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam while still in school signals readiness to Massachusetts employers and gives candidates a concrete credential before they have years of experience.
Where can I find and apply to engineering jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to engineering jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across defense, life sciences, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. Search the listings, find the roles that match your background and specialty, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
