This is a fantastic opportunity to join a friendly and dynamic organisation that is at the forefront of technology innovation. EPCC is the UK’s leading centre for research supercomputing and data science service provision. We host and manage leading edge systems such as the UK’s national supercomputing service (ARCHER2) and the Edinburgh International Data Facility at our Advanced Computing Facility (ACF).

The summer internship programme provides a platform to learn about how our complex site works. As a 38MW site with a hugely diverse collection of high-powered supercomputing systems and services, this is a unique and exciting opportunity for an electrical engineering student to gain an insight into some of the most complex data centre engineering in the country.

A priority focus will be reviewing strategic electrical changes and updating DesOps documentation on metering and electrical layout information for how our core infrastructure works in our plant and computer rooms. There will also be the opportunity to work with specialist staff to develop and deliver a student-led project to improve how we monitor and manage our electrical systems and/or electricity usage.

This post is full time (35 hours per week) over a 12 week period and based at the ACF in Midlothian, however we are open to considering a more flexible approach to suit. The internship start date will be Monday 9 th June 2025.
