How much do thermodynamics internship jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 20, 2026, the average hourly pay for thermodynamics internship in the United States is $19.31, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $16.11 and $20.91 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a thermodynamics internship?

A thermodynamics internship is a temporary, supervised work experience designed for students or recent graduates interested in gaining practical knowledge in the field of thermodynamics. Interns typically assist in research, data analysis, and experimental work related to energy transfer, heat, and thermodynamic systems. These internships are commonly offered by engineering firms, research institutions, or manufacturing companies. The experience helps interns apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems and can be an important stepping stone to a career in engineering or physical sciences.

What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on during a thermodynamics internship?

As a thermodynamics intern, you’ll typically assist with research and analysis related to heat transfer, energy systems, and thermodynamic cycles. Your responsibilities may include running simulations, collecting and analyzing experimental data, preparing technical reports, and supporting senior engineers on ongoing projects. Interns often collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, gaining exposure to both theoretical and practical aspects of thermodynamics in industries like energy, manufacturing, or HVAC. This hands-on experience helps build practical skills and can provide valuable insight into potential career paths within engineering.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a thermodynamics intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Thermodynamics Intern, you need a solid foundation in physics, mathematics, and engineering principles, typically gained through coursework in mechanical or chemical engineering. Familiarity with simulation software such as MATLAB, ANSYS, or Aspen Plus, as well as experience with laboratory equipment and data analysis tools, is commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills will set you apart in this role. These competencies ensure you can accurately analyze thermodynamic systems, contribute to research or design projects, and collaborate efficiently within technical teams.

What is the difference between Thermodynamics Internship vs Mechanical Engineering Internship?

AspectThermodynamics InternshipMechanical Engineering Internship
Required CredentialsTypically pursuing a degree in thermodynamics, mechanical engineering, or related fieldsUsually enrolled in mechanical engineering or related programs
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, energy companies, HVAC firmsManufacturing plants, design firms, engineering consultancies
Industry UsageFocuses on energy systems, heat transfer, thermodynamics principlesBroader mechanical systems, design, manufacturing, and testing

While both internships involve engineering principles, a Thermodynamics Internship specializes in energy systems and heat transfer, whereas a Mechanical Engineering Internship covers a wider range of mechanical systems and design projects. The choice depends on your specific career interests within engineering.

Job description

Description:

FEV is a global engineering consultancy providing services within the complete mobility space, including the passenger car and heavy-duty commercial industry. If you are interested in joining a team of experienced engineers developing advanced powertrain systems, that leverage both conventional combustion engines and electrification to address future performance, fuel economy and emissions requirements, FEV is where you want to be.

FEV offers interested students the opportunity to work within highly technical engineering teams that are focused on developing the next generation powertrain systems. Each engineering assistant is assigned an experienced engineer as a direct mentor who provides project tasks, training and guidance. The role engages the engineering assistant in powertrain development through testing and data analysis, as well as project team and customer interaction. The engineering assistant will have the opportunity to participate in internal FEV training and team activities. Based on the benefit for the employee to become deeply involved in a customer project and the opportunity to gain more responsibility as their experience grows, FEV prefers an internship duration of six months to one year. Opportunities to expand involvement into calibration or additional development tasks will be provided to high performing and motivated assistants with the consideration for full time hire at the completion of the internship period. Interested candidates can submit resumes through the FEV career link.

  • Support test plan creation
  • Project progress tracking and reporting
  • Support of measurement equipment calibration and maintenance as well as planningSupport installation and commissioning of new powertrain test setups, including conventional and hybrid configurations
  • Assist and interact with operations staff in execution of testing tasks
  • Data processing and analysis
  • Support customer hardware and project component inventory and logistics
  • Prepare internal team and customer presentations
  • Ability to support second shift testing if required


Requirements:
  • Require the minimum of a U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in an Engineering field or other closely related foreign equivalent.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals: fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer
  • Basic understanding of internal combustion engines and aftertreatment systems
  • Skilled in handling MS-Word, Excel and PowerPoint
  • Basic understanding in MS Excel macro or MATLAB scripting
  • Professional communication skills (oral and written)
  • Must be a motivated team player to perform in fast paced development environment
  • Highly proficient in spoken and written English

Preferred:

  • Experience in engine dynamometer and/or vehicle testing
