Internship - Aerodynamics

At Maeve Aerospace we are committed to creating a sustainable future by developing an all-electric, zero-emission commercial aircraft for the generation who wants to travel, not pollute. Our team is dedicated to upholding our mission of sustainability, innovation and boldness. We have 5 core values that we want all our team members to connect to: innovation, respect, transparency, sustainability, and teamwork.

Maeve is looking for a motivated engineering intern to join our Aerodynamics team and help us fly towards our goal of innovating a better future!

The aerodynamic department is responsible for the development of all aerodynamic surfaces. At the moment the focus is on the preliminary design of the wing in presence of the propellers. Your task will be to support us in setting up and running CFD simulations (STAR-CCM+) to validate the medium fidelity design methods.

Typical daily tasks include:

• Work together with the aerodynamic team (and other disciplines) to determine what cases to run
• Setting up the geometry and the appropriate (boundary) conditions
• Setting up and running the CFD simulations
• Processing the results
• Comparing the results with the other aerodynamic methods
• Summarising the main outcomes and conclusions to the team

• You are studying for, or have recently obtained, a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Aerodynamics, (Fluid)Mechanics or a similar course of study
• Affinity with Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design, Sustainability, Simulations
• Available for a minimum of 4 months (preferred 5-6) on a full-time basis
• Ability to work independently based on input, but also be an excellent team player

Preferred

• Experience with performing aerodynamic simulations in STAR-CCM+
• Experience with Python

You will get a competitive internship salary aligned with your level of studies. Free lunch and other small benefits can also be enjoyed at Maeve.
