Position Overview:

We are seeking a motivated Structural Dynamics & Vibro-Acoustic Simulation Engineering Intern / Co-op student currently pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mechanics, or a related field to support the development of advanced modeling strategies for structural dynamics applications and their integration with Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) methodologies.
The selected candidate will work on the development and validation of analytical and semi-analytical modeling strategies for structural dynamics and vibro-acoustic applications, with emphasis on complex built-up structures such as multilayer composite and laminate visco-elastic panels. The candidate will perform validation of the developed methodologies and simulation strategies using finite element and boundary element analysis (FEA/BEA) tools. The role includes vibro-acoustic modeling, fluid-structure interaction studies, and analysis of acoustic performance metrics such as transmission loss and near-field acoustic prediction using concepts related to panel directivity and acoustic radiation behavior. The position offers hands-on experience in structural dynamics, vibro-acoustics, numerical simulation, and engineering software development.
The candidate will collaborate closely on research and development activities involving finite element modeling, dynamic response analysis, and the validation of new simulation and modelling approaches.

Key Responsibilities:
