You will work alongside experienced engineers on research and development projects.
What you'll do#
- Build aerodynamic and air-solid models from compressor concepts.
- Run high-fidelity CFD simulations to evaluate performance and understand flow behavior.
- Compare simulation results with laboratory test data to validate designs.
- Use Python or MATLAB, including AI or machine learning approaches, to analyze results.
- Collaborate with the engineering team on simulation tasks and broader assignments.
What you'll need#
- Enrollment in a Master’s or PhD program in Mechanical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Turbomachinery, or a related field. Final-year Bachelor’s students will also be considered.
- Hands-on experience or coursework in CFD using tools such as ANSYS, CFX, or Fluent.
- Basic CAD modeling skills.
- Working knowledge of Python or MATLAB.
- Interest in applying AI or machine learning to engineering problems.
- Solid foundation in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
- Ability to work 20 hours per week.
Location & details#
- This is a paid internship.
- The role is based on-site in Tallahassee, Florida.
- We are open to considering remote candidates with the right experience.
