What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering Intern 1 position at ARA Brand?
Applied Research Associates, Inc. has an ideal opportunity for an undergraduate engineering, computer science, or physical science major as a Summer 2025 intern to gain real-world experience at the Southwest Division in Albuquerque, NM. Interns will have the opportunity to work with the Computational Physics Group. The Computational Physics Group develops code and performs computational analysis for large Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The successful applicant will gain knowledge and experience performing CFD calculations to support the development and use of these computer codes for a variety of applications such as air blast, shock tubes, detonations, explosive weapon fill analysis, high speed flows and reacting flows. The applicant will be learning how to run CFD simulations in an HPC environment, post-process and visualize results, and work on developing models for our in-house code.
He/she will work with a team of highly skilled engineers and scientists that leverage multidisciplinary backgrounds to provide innovative solutions to our customers. The programs impact national security and Department of Defense (DoD) mission areas. Opportunities include work in areas such as nuclear and conventional weapon effects, air blast injury, advanced energetics (enhanced explosives), hypersonics, and coupled fluid/structure interaction.
