Aerodynamics Engineering Intern (Summer)

The role

You will build and refine CFD tooling spanning job setup, scheduling, results handling, and post-processing. You will also use these tools to run aerodynamic calculations for active programs.

What you will do

• Build and refine tooling for CFD workflows including job setup, scheduling, results handling, and post-processing.
• Use tools to run real aerodynamic calculations for active programs.
• Identify friction points in current workflows.
• Work across the full CFD process from pre-processing to post-processing.
• Present work and impact to the aerodynamics team.

Required qualifications

• Currently studying aerospace, mechanical, or a related engineering field.
• Coursework in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.
• Exposure to CFD and understanding of pre-processing, solving, and post-processing workflows.
• Programming experience, ideally in Python.
• Comfortable working in a Linux environment.
• Curiosity about aerodynamic modeling of flying vehicles.

Nice to have

• Experience with code configuration control through git
• Experience running simulations on high-performance computing systems
• Working experience with VLM, lifting line, Navier-Stokes CFD, or similar tools
• Using AI to accelerate complex coding tasks

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Housing Stipend available for those temporarily moving to join our team
• Daily, free catered lunches
• Learning & professional development opportunities
• Meaningful projects that make an impact
