Cfd Internship information

What is a CFD internship?

A CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) internship involves using simulation software to analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, and related physical phenomena. Interns typically work with engineering teams to develop models, run simulations, and interpret results for real-world applications in industries like aerospace, automotive, and energy. This role helps students gain hands-on experience with CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, or STAR-CCM+. It also involves validating simulations with experimental data and optimizing designs based on analysis.

What kinds of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during a CFD internship?

As a CFD intern, you can expect to assist with setting up and running computational fluid dynamics simulations, analyzing simulation data, and contributing to technical reports or presentations. Interns often support senior engineers on real-world industry projects, such as aerodynamic design, thermal management, or process optimization. You’ll likely use specialized simulation software and work as part of a multidisciplinary team, participating in team meetings and project reviews. This hands-on experience helps you build practical skills and exposes you to various aspects of engineering problem-solving.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the CFD internship position, and why are they important?

A Cfd Internship requires a solid background in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and numerical methods, typically supported by coursework in mechanical or aerospace engineering. Competence in using simulation software such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, or COMSOL Multiphysics is highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication help interns excel in team environments and present results clearly. These skills are crucial for conducting accurate simulations, interpreting data, and contributing meaningful insights to engineering projects.

Job description

This job is demanding and rewarding.

This job isn't for everyone. You're the right person if:

  • You've done something extraordinary early – designed rocket injectors, led a competition team (e.g., Formula SAE, AIAA Design/Build/Fly) where you owned propulsion, aerothermal, or fluid networks, or done propulsion work in an internship that most engineers don't see for years.
  • You love building and want to work long, smart, and hard to create things that have real impact.
  • You want ownership, not a lane, on a team with other high performers.
  • You get more energized when a problem gets harder, not less.
  • You're uncomfortable waiting for someone else to find the answer.
  • GPU-accelerated CFD, the turbine blade flow bench, and engine test stands sound more interesting to you than a conference room.
What You'll Do
  • Own a defined piece of the propulsion system – from 1D cycle performance and 3D CFD modeling to fuel nozzle design, secondary air systems, rotordynamics, or variable guide vane geometry – with real accountability for the outcome.
  • Work directly on the test stand and in the shop with mechanical, materials, and controls teams to turn propulsion concepts into operational gas turbine hardware.
  • Analyze thermodynamic cycles, internal flow networks, and turbomachinery physics to set the operating limits for machines that go into service within the year.
  • Support engine testing operations in real time – evaluating raw data against expected performance models, troubleshooting anomalies, and driving hardware design revisions.
  • Partner with design and manufacturing engineers to ensure gas-path components are optimized for both extreme aerothermal loads and production manufacturability.
You Probably Have
  • A degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on propulsion/thermal-fluids experience.
  • At least one internship, co-op, or equivalent experience where you analyzed, designed, or tested real-world propulsion, fluid, or thermal systems.
  • Hands-on modeling and analytical experience – proficiency with 1D/3D CFD tools (e.g., Ansys Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or OpenFOAM), thermodynamics/cycle analysis tools (e.g., NPSS, GasTurb, or pyCycle), and/or finite element analysis (FEA) tools (e.g., Abaqus, Ansys Mechanical, Nastran, or CalculiX).
  • A rock-solid grasp of core propulsion fundamentals – thermodynamics, compressible fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and combustion.
  • A track record of finishing hard things, inside school and outside of it.
Work Location

Internships require 100% onsite at Boom's headquarters located at 6803 S Tucson Way, Centennial, CO 80112.

Compensation

The Base Salary Range for this position is $87,000 - $117,000 per year. Actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. The range listed is just one component of Boom’s total rewards package for employees. Other rewards may include long-term incentives/equity, a flexible PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits. Additional perks include on-site meals and gym access.

ITAR Requirement

To conform to U.S. Government aerospace technology export regulations (ITAR and EAR), applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Due to the nature of this position, candidates must be eligible to access export-controlled information and technology as required by applicable U.S. export control laws. Learn more about ITAR here.
