What are the responsibilities and job description for the Aerothermal Analyst Intern position at Corvid Technologies?
Corvid Technologies is seeking qualified candidates for aerothermal modeling internships working with our Hypersonic Programs Group (HPG) in our Huntsville, Alabama office. The HPG supports a variety of government (Missile Defense Agency, Army, and Navy Missile Defense) programs through design, modeling and simulation, testing, and system analysis related to both defensive and offensive hypersonic missile systems. Corvid's HPG analysis capabilities include both industry standard solvers as well as Corvid's in-house tools (Velodyne and Raven). These tools are used to solve the hypersonic aerothermal environment over various vehicles, and then predict the ablation and heat transfer into the vehicle's internal substructure.
Example Responsibilities
A candidate must meet ALL of the below criteria. The candidate must:
