What is an aerodynamics intern?

An Aerodynamics Intern assists in analyzing, testing, and optimizing aerodynamic performance for various applications, such as aircraft, vehicles, or sports equipment. They work with simulation tools, wind tunnel testing, and data analysis to evaluate airflow, drag, and lift characteristics. Interns often collaborate with engineers to improve designs and validate models. This role provides hands-on experience in fluid dynamics and computational methods, preparing interns for careers in aerospace, automotive, or related fields.

What do aerodynamics interns do?

As an Aerodynamics Intern, you can expect to assist with computational simulations, analyze test data, and support the design and improvement of aerodynamic structures. You will often work alongside experienced engineers on tasks such as preparing wind tunnel models, running CFD simulations, and documenting your findings in technical reports. The role typically involves both independent problem-solving and close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, offering opportunities to learn from professionals in adjacent fields. This hands-on experience provides excellent preparation for a future career in aerospace or automotive engineering by building practical skills and valuable industry exposure.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be an aerodynamics intern?

To thrive as an Aerodynamics Intern, a solid foundation in physics, engineering principles, and fluid dynamics, often supported by progress toward a relevant engineering degree, is essential. Familiarity with computational tools such as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software, wind tunnel testing equipment, and data analysis platforms is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, teamwork, and clear communication help interns contribute effectively in collaborative engineering environments. These skills enable interns to perform critical analyses, share insights, and support ongoing design and testing projects within the team.

Job description

About Zipline

Zipline is the world's largest and most experienced drone delivery service. We are on a mission to serve all humans equally by ensuring access to food, medicine and essential goods anytime, anywhere. We design, build, and operate the world's largest autonomous logistics system, delivering critical supplies quickly and reliably. Today, Zipline operates on four continents, makes a delivery somewhere in the world every 30 seconds, and has completed millions of deliveries to date, including blood, vaccines, medical supplies, food, and retail products. 

Our customers include the world's largest and most prominent healthcare systems, governments, retailers, restaurants and global businesses who rely on us to save lives, reduce emissions, increase economic opportunity, and provide delivery from point A to point B as fast as possible. The drone is only 15% of what we've built to enable seamless, reliable, global operations.

Our system strengthens supply chains, reduces congestion, and gives people time back. With more than 140 million commercial autonomous miles safely flown, Zipline is redefining access to healthcare, consumer products, and food across the globe.

We operate at a global scale and are looking for practical problem solvers who thrive on real-world challenges and rapid growth. Our team is motivated by building systems that have a direct, meaningful impact on people's lives and by scaling the future of logistics. We are seeking people who sculpt from first principles, enjoy facing adversity, and can do the impossible at record breaking speeds.

About the Systems Modeling Team

The Systems Modeling Team has tremendous power to shape Zipline's products. We develop physics-based models and use them to architect our aircraft, as well as the supporting logistics system. Using simulation, we can rapidly explore a vast array of designs to optimize future products, and we can find ways to squeeze more performance out of our existing products. 

Systems Modeling brings diverse teams and fields together (e.g. electrical, thermal, mechanical, aerodynamics, battery chemistry, controls, fleet operations, economics) to gain new insights. We translate technical conversations into rigorously framed engineering problems. We value asking pertinent questions and generating coherent answers.

The Role

Leading the way in drone delivery requires pushing the limits of individual component technologies and carefully orchestrating which ones we put together to optimize the performance of the complete vehicle. How much of the benefit of a larger motor is counteracted by its aerodynamic penalty? How much range are we willing to give up for extra payload capacity? How do we optimally control battery charging – electrically and thermally – to strike a balance between turnaround time and battery longevity?

Answering these types of questions requires high-caliber computational tools. Zipline is seeking an engineering intern that can understand system-level problem statements, appreciate the tradeoffs between accuracy and computational efficiency, and architect elegant code tools. The outputs of these tools will directly drive critical architectural and operational decisions at the aircraft and fleet level.

What You'll Do

  • Develop computational tools to automate high-level design trades, optimizations, and sensitivity studies
  • Improve the performance and flexibility of simulation frameworks
  • Build physics-based models that underlie aircraft performance simulations
  • Analyze test data to validate vehicle component models
What You'll Bring
  • A drive to help people and make the world a better place
  • A basic understanding of fundamental physics:
    • Energy and power
    • Heat transfer 
    • Electrical circuits
    • Dynamics (kinematics, forces, moments, acceleration/rotation)
    • Fluids and aerodynamics
  • Passion for tackling challenging multidisciplinary problems
  • The ability to recognize tradeoffs in the design of complex computational analysis frameworks 
  • Expertise in Matlab, Python, Julia, Rust, or similar; for modeling, simulation, optimization, and/or data analysis
  • Proficiency in numerical methods 

Nice to have:

  • Basic understanding of batteries, electric motors, and/or aircraft dynamics; and typical approaches to modeling them
  • Experience interpreting experimental data
  • Experience with model-based systems design, ideally in an extracurricular setting
