SDG&E and SoCalGas | IT Associate Rotation & Internship Program
Information Technology is made up of a variety of departments that help ensure the day-to-day technological success of all SDG&E and SoCalGas operating groups. Associates and interns in IT have the opportunity to work side-by-side with industry experts and utilize leading technologies to help maintain and analyze company software, monitor around the clock for incidents and cybersecurity threats and support our workforce both in-person and remotely across our service territory.
Internship Program
Our summer interns are students who work full-time hours during their 10 to 12-week paid internship. They work closely with associates and industry experts to grow their skills and IT knowledge and they may qualify to join the Associate Rotation Program after graduation.
Associate Rotation Program
Our associates are full-time employees with benefits and rotate through three rotation assignments in various departments. Associates gain on-the-job training and a chance to apply their skills in real-world settings. They also receive career development, support, and guidance.

Distinguished Lecturer Series: Dr. David Patterson
Wed, Nov 08, 2023 @ 03:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. David Patterson, UC Berkeley Pardee Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus | Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of RISC-V Foundation
Talk Title: A Decade of Machine Learning Accelerators: Lessons Learned and Carbon Footprint
Abstract: The success of deep neural networks (DNNs) from Machine Learning (ML) has inspired domain specific architectures (DSAs) for them. Google's first-generation DSA offered 50x improvement over conventional architectures for ML inference in 2015. Google next built the first production DSA supercomputer for the much harder problem of training. Subsequent generations greatly improved performance of both phases. We start with ten lessons learned from such efforts.
The rapid growth of DNNs rightfully raised concerns about their carbon footprint. The second part of the talk identifies the "4Ms" (Model, Machine, Mechanization, Map) that, if optimized, can reduce ML training energy by up to 100x and carbon emissions up to 1000x. By improving the 4Ms, ML held steady at
Biography: David Patterson is a UC Berkeley Pardee professor emeritus, a Google distinguished engineer, and the RISC-V International Vice-Chair. His most influential Berkeley projects likely were RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) and RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks). His best-known book is Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach. He and his co-author John Hennessy shared the 2017 ACM A.M Turing Award and the 2022 NAE Charles Stark Draper Prize for Engineering. The Turing Award is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Computing" and the Draper Prize is considered a "Nobel Prize of Engineering."

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Geno Pawlak, UCSD
Talk Title: The Coastal Ocean Boundary Layer: Cross-shore structure, bottom roughness and trapped baroclinic waves
Abstract: In this talk I will describe analysis of the cross shore structure of the coastal ocean boundary layer using velocity measurements from an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) along with time series observations of the alongshore pressure gradient. Ensemble phase averages of the alongshore pressure gradient and velocities from multiple AUV surveys reveal characteristics akin to the Stokes oscillating boundary layer, with the nearshore flow leading the offshore flow in phase and with a corresponding velocity attenuation at shallower depths. Analysis of the alongshore momentum balance allows estimation of the drag coefficient as a function of cross shore distance which compares favorably with roughness from LIDAR and AUV based mapping. Roughness data suggest that larger scales, with wavelengths comparable to the total depth, play a more significant role than smaller meter scale roughness in determining the drag on the tidal flow. I will also present observations that highlight the role of coastal trapped baroclinic waves in driving barotropic tidal flow on the inner shelf.
Biography: Before joining the Jacobs School of Engineering, Pawlak served as an associate professor in the Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Pawlak is a UC San Diego alumnus, having earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences (now mechanical and aerospace engineering) here in 1997.
