How you can contribute to gridX The energy world is becoming increasingly interconnected, from inverters and wallboxes to battery storage and smart meters. To ensure all these devices communicate intelligently with each other, they need to be reliably integrated, tested, and continuously developed. This is exactly where YOU come in. As an Intern in Partnership Integrations, you will work right at the intersection of hardware, software, and energy. Together with our OEM Partnerships Team and the Testlab, you will ensure that new devices are successfully integrated into the gridX ecosystem, from the very first connection to the final end-to-end test. In this role, you won’t just get insights into cutting-edge energy IoT systems; you’ll work directly on real-world integrations with leading manufacturers in the energy sector.

gridX connects and controls energy generation and storage systems to form a decentral, virtual power plant. gridX is revolutionizing traditional energy supply with a fully integrated and vendor-neutral solution, bringing millions of small producers and consumers together on the gridX platform. With the gridBox, generation plants can be intelligently controlled, all energy flows in the household can be displayed and existing Smart Home solutions can be integrated on their platform.  gridX was founded in May 2016 by David Balensiefen and Andreas Booke. The team around gridX consists of talents and experienced specialists from leading companies such as Google, McKinsey and universities such as MIT, Harvard and RWTH Aachen University.
