Job Description
1937 Norwood, Massachusetts Research/Approvals full-time Works from an office location No Grade USD $35.00/Hr. USD $35.00/Hr. Job Description FM is a leading property insurer of the world's largest businesses, providing more than one-third of FORTUNE 1000-size companies with engineering-based risk management and property insurance solutions. FM helps clients maintain continuity in their business operations by drawing upon state-of-the-art loss-prevention engineering and research; risk management skills and support services; tailored risk transfer capabilities; and superior financial strength. To do so, we rely on a dynamic, culturally diverse group of employees, working in more than 100 countries, in a variety of challenging roles. Data centers are experiencing unprecedented demands in power density driven by AI and high-performance computing workloads. In contrast to the modern development, traditional fire detection systems are designed to detect fires only after combustion has already occurred, creating a need for earlier anomaly detection methods capable of identifying precursors to thermal runaway, electrical faults, overheating, insulation degradation, arc events, and other incipient fire conditions. This internship will investigate and evaluate advanced approaches for early anomaly detection and intervention in data center environments. The selected intern will conduct experimental and modeling research to characterize pre-fire signatures and assess potential intervention strategies before ignition or fire development. Key Responsibilities Conduct literature reviews, including internal reports and external publications. Execute experimental test programs and collect high-quality data. The focus will be designing and building laboratory-scale experimental apparatus to simulate data center equipment faults and pre-fire conditions. Develop models, correlations, and analytical techniques to interpret experimental results. Document findings through technical reports, presentations, and research publications.
