CFD Development Intern: Shape -Gen Air Capture Tech

Intern in CFD Development (100%) – Climeworks – Opfikon, Zurich, Switzerland

• Technology Development: You will play an important role in developing the next generation of Direct Air Capture technology. You will be responsible for running models, collecting data, and analyzing results – all part of optimizing the Climeworks carbon capture process.
• CFD Analysis: You will perform CFD analysis in order to predict and optimize the fluid and heat flows at various scales - from small‑scale modelling of our filter structures to large‑scale atmospheric dispersion modelling.
• Collaboration with Mechanical Design: You will work closely with colleagues in Mechanical Design. Your role will be to support them in the design of vessels, internals, and other structural elements that are key to the performance of our facilities.
• Validation & Measurement: You will collaborate with our Testing and Process Development teams in evaluating technology solutions to improve the efficiency and performance of the Climeworks process, with a focus on the behavior of air, steam and heat.
• Communication & Presentation: You will communicate results, findings, and observations clearly and concisely to peers, and present them in technical reviews.
