CFD & Thermal Simulation Workflow Intern
Gamma Technologies · Westmont, IL · 4 wk ago
EducationInternship
What You Will Do
- You will conduct a comprehensive audit of our cabin modeling workflows tools that enable users to create steady-state 3D CFD models and convert them into fast-running, transient 3D conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations capable of achieving faster-than-real-time performance.
- Develop a data-driven understanding of our 3D modeling workflow through systematic analysis and testing
- Build a series of test models to evaluate solver performance and workflow efficiency
- Identify areas for improvement and contribute to the prioritization and design of solutions
- Conduct supporting market and background research on relevant simulation technologies
- Document findings and present results to the engineering team
- Take on increasing responsibility and complexity over time, growing from mentored tasks toward independent work
What You Will Bring
- Currently enrolled in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
- Familiarity with CFD concepts; prior experience with simulation software is a plus
- An analytical mindset with attention to detail and structured problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and grow into increasingly complex tasks over time
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Proactive attitude with a willingness to learn and take initiative
Preferred Skills
- Experience with CFD or thermal simulation tools (e.g., GT-SUITE, ANSYS, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM)
- Understanding of heat transfer and fluid dynamics fundamentals
- Programming or scripting skills (Python, MATLAB, or similar)
- Interest in automotive, HVAC, aerospace, or other thermal system applications
