Descrizione del lavoro

REGENT is developing Seagliders for coastal transport. As an Aerodynamics Engineering Intern, you will craft CFD tooling for setup, scheduling, and post-processing, and apply these tools to real aerodynamic calculations for active vehicle programs.

You will work across the full CFD workflow, validate models, and present outcomes to the aerodynamics team, driving efficiency and design insights. This paid internship includes mentorship and hands-on development experience.

Competenze

• Currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering with aerodynamics coursework.
• Exposure to CFD and understanding of pre-processing, solving, and post-processing workflow.
• Programming experience, ideally in Python.
• Comfortable working in a Linux environment.
• Genuine curiosity about aerodynamic modeling of flying vehicles.

Mansioni

• Build and refine CFD tooling for job setup, scheduling, results handling, and post-processing.
• Run real aerodynamic calculations for active programs using the tools developed.
• Identify friction points in workflows and propose concrete efficiency improvements.
• Work across the full CFD workflow from pre-processing to solver execution to post-processing.
• Present work and its impact to the aerodynamics team, showing how it improved operations.

Descrizione del lavoro

REGENT is building Seagliders, wing-in-ground-effect aircraft for coastal transportation. As an Aerodynamics Engineering Intern, you will work on the intersection of aerodynamics and software, building and refining CFD pipeline tooling for job setup, scheduling, results handling, and post-processing, while applying these tools to real aerodynamic calculations for active vehicle programs.

What You’ll Do

• Build and refine tooling spanning CFD job setup, scheduling, results handling, and post-processing to make workflows faster and more reliable
• Run real aerodynamic calculations for active programs using the tools you improve, validating models that inform vehicle design
• Identify friction points in current workflows and propose concrete solutions to improve efficiency
• Work across the full CFD workflow from pre-processing through solver execution to post-processing
• Present your work and its impact to the aerodynamics team, demonstrating how contributions improved team operations

What You Need

• Currently studying aerospace, mechanical, or related engineering field with coursework in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics
• Some exposure to CFD and understanding of how pre-processing, solving, and post-processing fit together as a workflow
• Programming experience, ideally in Python
• Comfortable working in a Linux environment
• Genuine curiosity about aerodynamic modeling of flying vehicles

Nice to Have

• Experience with git version control and code configuration management
• Experience running simulations on high-performance computing systems
• Working experience with VLM, lifting line, Navier-Stokes CFD, or similar aerodynamic tools
• Experience using AI thoughtfully to accelerate complex coding tasks
• Linux proficiency

• Competitive compensation
• housing stipend available for those relocating
• daily free catered lunches
• learning and professional development opportunities
• mentorship from experienced team members
