Integrated Performance Engineer Intern

Avynera Studios is seeking an Integrated Performance Engineer Intern to support engineering research and development for launch vehicle performance. The role involves modeling and analysis, simulation, testing, and processing flight and test data to characterize vehicle dynamics and inform design.

Responsibilities:

• Model stage separation, including plume impingement, to inform trajectory design of an entry vehicle
• Develop models and perform analysis for multiple payload deployment collision avoidance
• Develop dynamic loads and levels for launch vehicle hardware to design and test
• Model coupled dynamics of engine actuators in a full vehicle dynamics simulation
• Develop a script to automatically update a dashboard that displays abort values for testing and launch
• Perform CFD analysis of vehicle entry configurations and develop aero databases
• Analyze flight and engine hot-fire test data to characterize the dynamic response of the Terran R launch vehicle
• Design, manufacture, and test hardware to aid in mitigation of dynamic environments and/or execution of dynamics testing
• Process test data and flight data to ensure analysis predictions properly represent vehicle behavior

Requirements:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,

Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Industrial Engineering, or a related field

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills
