Intern, R&D Graduate Summer - Thermal, Fluid & Aero Sciences, Hybrid
About the role
Sandia's Thermal, Fluid, and Aero Sciences group is seeking Graduate Summer Interns to conduct basic and applied research on thermal, fluid, and aero phenomena related to national security. You will be mentored by staff engineers and will work closely with test engineers and technologists to conduct this research. A successful graduate internship will provide you exposure to work in a national laboratory environment and relevant engineering experience. The internships span multiple engineering and science disciplines, including Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Computational Science, and Applied Mathematics.
Responsibilities
- Assist staff in the Thermal Fluid, and Aerosciences group with various work projects
- Conduct computational simulation in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, particle dynamics/mechanics, or aero sciences
- Perform surrogate and/or data-driven modeling in these topic areas
- Participate and contribute to experiments including wind tunnel testing, laser diagnostic measurements, high-speed imaging, rheological characterization, among others
- Conduct engineering analysis on experimental and computational data
Requirements
- Earned bachelor's degree
- Currently attending and enrolled full time in the spring term immediately preceding the internship (or scheduled to graduate in the spring) in an accredited science, engineering, or math graduate program
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0
- Ability to work up to 40 hours per week during the summer
- Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. security clearance which requires U.S. citizenship
Note: If you have not yet started your graduate program, please apply to an undergraduate intern position.
