Undergraduate Intern – Modelling & Simulation
Location: Southampton
Duration: Fixed-term (12 months)
About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity for students who are currently undertaking a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mathematics (or a related subject) to join our Research & Development function, based in Southampton, on a 12-month undergraduate placement.
This placement is with our Modelling & Simulation Team and will focus on multi-physics computer simulations (using tools such as Ansys Mechanical, Fluent, COMSOL and Simulink/Simscape) of our latest devices and technologies. As our devices become more advanced, we require more understanding and insight of the physics at play. Experimental measurements are often limited by their resolution whereas simulation and modelling allows us to see phenomena that cannot be measured directly and understand and predict complex device behaviour. It is therefore vital to use modelling and simulation to generate these insights and use them to develop higher-performing devices that delight our consumers. These findings can then be implemented to design the next generation of technologies and products. This role will involve the study, calculations, and analysis of multi-physics systems, using computer modelling to simulate airflow, thermals, structural and electro-magnetic engineering problems and the application of physics, mechanical and chemical engineering to deliver this aim.
Key Responsibilities
- Support live projects by using simulation and modelling for concept evaluation, insights generation and design optimisation.
- Develop tools and processes to make simulation more accessible to the wider business.
- Analysis and reporting of simulation data to support project decision making.
- Supporting experimental campaigns for simulation validation and verification purposes.
