Intern - R&D (Thermal Simulation)

Overview

Intern in the R&D team focused on thermal simulation, applying thermal analysis techniques to automotive components and systems.

What you'll do

• Assist in developing and validating thermal models for automotive components and systems using simulation software (e.g., ANSYS, Star-CCM+).
• Conduct thermal simulations to predict temperature distribution, heat transfer, and thermal stress under different operating conditions.
• Analyze simulation results and provide insights to optimize product design for thermal performance and reliability.
• Support the R&D team in experimental validation of simulation models through laboratory testing.
• Prepare technical reports and presentations summarizing simulation methodologies, results, and recommendations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, engineering, and testing, to integrate thermal considerations into the product development lifecycle.
• Research and stay updated on the latest advancements in thermal management technologies and simulation techniques.

What you'll need

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
• Solid understanding of heat transfer principles (conduction, convection, radiation) and thermodynamics.
• Familiarity with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to have

• Basic experience with thermal simulation software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent/Icepack, Star-CCM+, COMSOL).
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or MATLAB for data analysis and scripting.
