Sandia's Thermal, Fluid, and Aero Sciences group is seeking Graduate Summer Interns to conduct basic and applied research on thermal, fluid, and aero phenomena related to national security. You will be mentored by staff engineers and will work closely with test engineers and technologists to conduct this research. A successful graduate internship will provide you exposure to work in a national laboratory environment and relevant engineering experience.

On any given day, you may be called on to:

Assist staff in the Thermal Fluid, and Aerosciences group with various work projects

Conduct computational simulation in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, particle dynamics/mechanics, or aero sciences.

Perform surrogate and/or data-driven modeling in these topic areas.

Participate and contribute to experiments including wind tunnel testing, laser diagnostic measurements, high-speed imaging, rheological characterization, among others.

Conduct engineering analysis on experimental and computational data.

The internships available span multiple engineering and science disciplines, including:

Mechanical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

Computational Science

Applied Mathematics

Are you ready for your next challenge? Join our team and achieve your goals while advancing national security.

The selected applicant can work a combination of onsite and offsite work. The selected applicant must live within a reasonable distance for commuting to the assigned work location when necessary.

Salary Range:

At Sandia, we value the important work done by our interns and its contribution to National Security. Because of this, our interns earn competitive pay rates.
