Job summary

Latitude is seeking a motivated thermal engineering intern to join our team in France. You will benchmark tools against 3D finite element models and 1D multiphysics software, add export formats, and study new correlations while exploring material and function development in thermal analyses.

You will work autonomously with multiple interlocutors across departments and gain insight into launcher thermal problematics and CFD/3D finite element tools.

Qualifications

• Educational background in thermal engineering or related field.
• Strong knowledge of thermal theory and programming (Python, VBA).
• Proficiency with Excel and data analysis.

Responsibilities

• Benchmark existing tools against 3D finite element models (Nx Thermal / Star CCM+) and/or 1D multiphysics software (ECOSIM Pro / AMESIM).
• Add file export output format compatible with Nx Thermal.
• Conduct bibliography studies to identify better correlations for future use.
• Implement new materials and functions, including 1D heat exchanger pre-dimensioning and stabilized thermal models.

Job description

Analytical and Empirical correlations are used everyday for thermal computation, to save some time, an internal Python automated code has been developed. The main objective is to benchmark, correct existing code and implement new functions.

Tasks & missions

You will participate in :

• Make benchmark of existing tools and compare it to 3D finite element model (Nx Thermal / Star CCM+) and/or 1D multiphysic softwares (ECOSIM Pro / AMESIM)
• Add file export output format, compatible with Nx Thermal
• Make bibliography studies to prospect for new or more adapted correlations
• Implement new materials & functions, such as:
  • 1D heat exchangers thermal pre-dimensioning model, coupled with material and convection correlations already existing in the code
  • 1D stabilized thermal model, using radiation, convection, conduction (insulation analysis) already existing in the code

The intern will discover how the correlations learned during school period are used and applied in space industry and will discover new ones.

Moreover, he will have to work in autonomy with several interlocutors in different departments and will discover the thermal problematics of the launcher in its overall.

An introduction to the CFD and thermal 3D finite element tools.

Preferred experience & skills

• Education: 2nd year of thermal engineering school or 4th year of Master grade.
• Technical skills: Thermal theory, Excel, Programming (VBA, Python).
• Soft skills: Teamwork, Autonomy, Communicative, Hindsight.

Perks & Benefits

At Latitude, we believe that building a rocket is a collective adventure, one that requires excellence, trust and a healthy work environment.

We offer a work setting designed to support both performance and well-being:

• A structured training and development plan, supporting skills development throughout your career (technical expertise, project management, leadership, and soft skills)
• Financial incentives for sustainable transportation
• Meal vouchers (tickets restaurants)
• Remote work: on average up to 2 days per week for eligible roles
• Regular team and company-wide events, as well as support for employee-led initiatives
• A friendly workplace with social spaces, free tea and coffee, and Latitude merch to welcome you on board.

An international and open-minded environment
