Job description

Is an internship passionate about changing the world's energy future intriguing to you? If so, we might have just the opportunity you're looking for!

Preferred Certificate/Degree(s) Program: Mechanical Engineering

Idaho National Laboratory is seeking an undergraduate junior/senior or graduate student to support various aspects of reactor experiment related tasks including: design, thermal analysis, data reduction, and supplier identification. Reactor experiments consist of small metal capsules that are filled with specimen materials of interest which are then placed in INL's Advanced Test Reactor. The purpose of the tests is to evaluate the performance of structural and fuel materials after having been bombarded with neutrons over a period of several months or more. The design of a new reactor experiment typically involves creating mockups to evaluate various assembly options and sensor installation techniques. A new experiment is under development in 2023 and so the intern will have an opportunity to be involved with at least one experiment mockup assembly. The intern is expected to have strong oral and written communication skills; as well as mechanical engineering skills in areas such as heat transfer, materials, and machine design. Hands on experience in a shop environment would be a plus.

If interested in other INL internship categories in addition to this one, please complete the application for each of those categories as well. Most of the information provided while completing the initial application carries over to new applications. The information previously submitted will need to be reviewed in each step. Ensure the information is complete and then click the submit button on the final step.

Minimum Requirements:

Complete this application, which is used to place students based on their academic interests, coursework, knowledge and interpersonal skills

Have the ability to pass a background check

Enrolled full time student status at an accredited college or university (undergraduate, graduate, PhD)
