The Impact You'll Make
As an Aero‑Thermal Engineer Intern, you'll help advance the performance and efficiency of next‑generation turbo machinery. Your work will directly influence how compressor concepts turn into real, high‑performing products.
You'll use high‑fidelity simulation, physics‑based modeling, and data‑driven analysis to shape design decisions early-where they matter most. By connecting simulation results with test data, you'll help improve accuracy, confidence, and sustainability in our engineering solutions.
Working alongside experienced engineers, data specialists, and fellow interns, you'll contribute to meaningful R&D projects that strengthen our aero‑thermal capabilities and support smarter energy systems.

This is an on-site position based in Tallahassee, FL. However, we are open to considering remote candidates with the right experience and qualifications.

What You'll Be Doing

Build aerodynamic and air‑solid models from compressor concepts to support rapid design iteration
Run high‑fidelity CFD simulations to evaluate performance and understand complex flow behavior
Compare simulation results with laboratory test data to validate and refine designs
Use Python or MATLAB, including AI/ML approaches, to analyze results and enable data‑driven insights
Collaborate closely with the engineering team on simulation tasks and broader R&D assignments
What We're Looking For

Enrollment in a Master's or PhD program in Mechanical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Turbo machinery, or a related field (final‑year Bachelor's students will also be considered)
Hands‑on experience or coursework in CFD using tools such as ANSYS, CFX, or Fluent, plus basic CAD modeling
Working knowledge of Python or MATLAB and interest in applying AI or machine learning to engineering problems
Solid foundation in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer
Ability to work 20 hours per week and collaborate effectively in an onsite or remote environment
What You'll Get from Us

We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
You'll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected and valued for who they are.

For this US-based internship, you can expect:

A paid internship with competitive hourly compensation
Hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers
Exposure to global Danfoss engineering projects and career pathways
Ready to Make a Difference?
