Building a Sustainable Future with Agrivoltaics.

Be part of our mission to revolutionize agriculture and energy with advanced computational modeling.

Full-time Internship positions:

Summer, 2024

Develop marketing materials, meet with farmers, and represent Fundusol at AgTech conferences. This role is for those with marketing experience for energy companies, startups or agricultural products.
These may include a user interface for financial projections or a user interface for solar array design. This task requires a proficient understanding of code versioning tools and a good understanding of advanced JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as ReactJS.
You will work with Fundusol's system design team, interface with financial institutions, coordinate with regulatory bodies, and develop relationships with clients to deploy Agrivoltaics systems. This role is for those with past experience in solar project finance, permitting, regulation, site selection, etc. with developers, utilities, or CO-OPs.
Potential projects include (but are not limited to, and will incorporate your suggestions): experimenting with seasonal solar tracking algorithms to maximize agricultural and solar outcomes at any given time; iterating Fundusol’s internal crop yield predictive algorithms across every county in the United States to inform a marketing tool; creating a live visualization tool for Agrivoltaics experimentation and extrapolating results; creating a machine learning tool that improves crop yield prediction. This role is for those with data science, data visualization, or machine learning.
This role is for those with experience working in the simulation space, specifically with Python, MATLAB, R, or C++.
Interns may lead on-site data collection of humidity, temperature, biomass, etc. This role is for those with experience in crop science, operating Agricultural data collection devices, or crop yield model calibration.
Interns will have the opportunity to brainstorm product ideas, rigorously design and model their product, and bring the product to market. This role is for those with experience in electrical engineering, engineering physics, mechanical engineering, or bringing deep-tech products to market.
