Aerodynamics Engineer - 3-Month Internship

at  Boeing

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. From the seabed to outer space, you can contribute to work that matters with a company where diversity, equity and inclusion are shared values. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.
Boeing’s presence in the UK is growing through our UK High-Lift Aerodynamics Collaboration Centre (HiLACC), based at the 5 metre wind tunnel at the Cody Technology Park, Farnborough, UK. The HiLACC Flight Sciences team is a direct extension of the Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) Flight Sciences team in Everett, WA, USA.

The role on offer is for a 3-month summer Aerodynamics Engineering Intern to start in June/July 2024 supporting the Flight Sciences work at the HiLACC. The intern will be actively involved in contributing to aerodynamics research in areas including (among others):

• Aerodynamics and sustainability research.
• Low-speed aerodynamic testing.
• Development and utilisation of analytical predictive capabilities (such as CFD, etc).
• Analysing high-lift aerodynamic performance.

ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE):

• Right to work in UK - We do not sponsor applicants for employment visa status.
• Studying a degree course or have graduated a degree course within last 2 years.

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Understand the array of predictive capabilities utilised in the aerodynamic design of aeroplanes, with a particular focus on high-lift performance
• Assist in some of the research and development projects ongoing at the HiLACC in areas such as:
• High-lift characteristics
• Buffet
• Air data
• Ice performance
• Understand the need for wind tunnel testing and provide some support for any ongoing tests and the related data analysis.
• Learn and start to utilise predictive capabilities such as CFD to understand flow phenomena in aeroplane design and wind tunnel testing.
• Shadow and assist work in the development of geometry and analysis tools aligned with model based engineering.
• Actively participate in group meetings and technical discussions.
  Due to the nature of the role and HiLACC team, the role is primarily based onsite.
