Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Develop and implement quantum reservoir computing (QRC) algorithms for power systems modeling and control. Build and run quantum reservoir circuits in emulators on NREL HPC, apply methods to ARIES platform data, collaborate with CSC and ARIES staff, and contribute to technical papers and presentations.

Design and implement interactive, data-driven visualization prototypes and immersive interfaces (shader logic, real-time rendering). Support data ingestion, transformation, visual mapping, UX design, team collaboration, and documentation to enable scientific exploration and future enhancements.

Perform EMT dynamic modeling and validation of power systems with high inverter-based resource penetration. Build and test PSCAD/EMT simulations, integrate black-box models, evaluate grid impacts, and publish findings in technical reports and journals.

This internship focuses on power system stability analysis, analyzing PMU data, producing reports, collaborating with engineers, and developing stability improvement techniques.

Work with Isabelle/HOL to formally specify and verify communication-path security in energy systems. Develop Adversarial Logic models, conduct literature reviews, translate requirements into formal specifications, document proofs, present progress, and help build reusable formal frameworks for operational technology cybersecurity.

Perform on-site agrivoltaics field research to evaluate effects on crop yield, phenology, water stress, and pest damage. Collect and enter data, assist with analysis, and support InSPIRE project activities at a solar-array field site. Hands-on outdoor fieldwork with some potential remote tasks.

The Adversarial Cybersecurity Researcher will conduct research on cybersecurity within energy systems, lead experiments, and develop tools and methodologies for security enhancement.

The Cyber Defense Operations Researcher will lead incident response and detection research, design advanced detection engineering solutions, conduct cyber range exercises, and mentor junior researchers within NREL's Cybersecurity Research Center.

Conduct legal and regulatory research and analysis on energy innovation and bulk electric transmission; draft publication-quality reports; compare regulatory frameworks; consult with state and federal agency personnel and industry stakeholders; and support broader policy analysis projects.

Summer internship performing hands-on research in generative AI security: develop and execute adversarial attacks on LLMs, use LLMs to generate adversarial inputs, apply XAI techniques to analyze vulnerabilities, research emerging AI threat vectors, collaborate with cybersecurity teams, and document testing methodologies and mitigation recommendations.
