Cornerstone Building Brands is seeking a Data Analyst Intern to support NFRC thermal simulation and certification processes by analyzing thermal performance data for windows and doors, validating simulation results, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Requirements
- Experience with data analysis and visualization tools (Excel, Python, R, MATLAB, or similar).
- Familiarity with building performance concepts such as thermal transmittance, solar heat gain, and energy efficiency.
- Exposure to fenestration thermal simulation software (e.g., THERM, WINDOW, or equivalent) preferred.
- Knowledge of NFRC standards, ENERGY STAR, or ASHRAE guidelines preferred.
- Experience with statistical analysis, regression modeling, or performance benchmarking preferred.
- Understanding of sustainability and green building certifications (e.g., LEED, Passive House) preferred.
Responsibilities
- Assist in running, processing, and interpreting NFRC thermal simulation results (U-factor, SHGC, VT, condensation resistance).
- Collect, organize, and analyze simulation data using Excel, Python, or other data analysis tools.
- Collaborate with engineers to validate results and identify trends or discrepancies.
- Support documentation required for NFRC certification submissions.
- Develop reports, dashboards, and visualizations to clearly communicate simulation outcomes to internal teams.
- Conduct benchmarking studies against competitor or industry performance data.
- Provide insights that support R&D, product design, and energy efficiency initiatives.
Other
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Analytics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Building Science, or a related field.
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills with attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to present technical findings clearly.
- This internship is for Summer 2026.
