About the company:

At SPAN, we believe that powering homes with clean energy should be a simple and delightful experience that is technology-forward and human-centered. 

SPAN is advancing clean energy adoption with innovative hardware that replaces the electrical panel and becomes the home's center for connected power. It’s easier and faster to install, and it completely transforms the customer experience with intuitive energy controls and customizable backup power.

Our Mission  
SPAN develops products that accelerate the rapid adoption of renewable energy in the home. The flagship SPAN Smart Panel is the first true evolution for the traditional home electric panel, harnessing enhanced technology for metering, monitoring, and control. An expanded product suite of intelligent, integrated solutions radically lowers the cost and complexity of energy upgrades–including solar, batteries and EVs–empowering homeowners to be active, resilient and informed players in the energy market. 
The Role 
In this cross-functional position, you will be empowered to become a data product expert and apply technical reasoning, design thinking, and data analysis to a variety of projects, from design through deployment. Our systems collect a large volume of energy monitoring data that needs to be analyzed, processed and used to develop features for the next generation of automated decision making products.
As an intern, you will work alongside the data science and product teams at SPAN to identify opportunities and requirements for new product features, support these decisions through data analysis of customer data and be part of their development, implementation, and evaluation. The role will give you broad exposure to many aspects of product data science: we’ll expect you to do a mix of research on product features, data analysis, model development, and data collection.
