Performance Engineering Intern

Summary

Join REGENT as a Performance Engineering Intern to support the development of a multidisciplinary performance and sizing framework for the conceptual design and characterization of seaglider vehicles. As a passionate intern, you will work closely with various engineering disciplines to develop tools and models in Python, MATLAB, and/or Julia. You will have an understanding and appreciation for requirements management, verification and validation efforts, and general interaction and functionality of other subsystems and their integration into the vehicle as a whole.

Requirements

• Working towards a BS/MS in an Engineering discipline
• Aerospace or naval vehicle performance and simulation experience
• Experience with multidisciplinary tool development in Python, MATLAB, and/or Julia
• Knowledge of the Flight and/or Nautical Physics domains, and depth in at least one of those areas (e.g., aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, electric propulsion)
• System configuration development through Preliminary Design, particularly of highly coupled vehicle systems
• Aerodynamic and/or hydrodynamic design and analysis of vehicles to meet performance goals
• Load case definition and development to support vehicle design
• Mass Properties methodologies for conceptual and preliminary sizing and ongoing tracking of weights through product design
• Strong technical, written, and verbal communication skills

Responsibilities

• Work to develop the multidisciplinary performance and sizing framework used for the conceptual design and performance characterization of our seaglider product space
• Support both the engineering and business development teams
• Work closely with various engineering disciplines and have an understanding and appreciation for requirements management, verification and validation efforts, and general interaction and functionality of other subsystems and their integration into the vehicle as a whole

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with RHINO3D, NX, Catia
• STAR-CCM+ experience
• Femap NX NASTRAN experience
• CAD de-featuring of watertight geometries
• Disciplinary model development in C, C++, Fortran
• Application programming experience (e.g., Flask, NodeJS, etc.)

Benefits

• Free lunch catered daily
• Office amenities including snacks, drinks, coffee & espresso bar
• Dog-friendly office
• Flexible hours
