Structural Systems - Internship 16 months

Unspecified

Who we are :

At Pratt & Whitney, we believe that powered flight has transformed and will continue to transform the world. That's why we work with an explorer's heart and a perfectionist’s grit to design, build, and service world's most advanced aircraft engines. We do this across a diverse portfolio including Commercial Engines, Military Engines, Business Aviation, General Aviation, Regional Aviation, and Helicopter Aviation and as a way of turning possibilities into realities for our customers. This is how we at Pratt & Whitney approach our work, and this is why we are inspired to go beyond.

Whether you are currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master's degree, we can help you harness your potential, advance your skills and make the impossible a reality. If you are currently enrolled in a Canadian university, now is the moment to start a career path that can drive impact and innovation for generations to come.

At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?

Our expectations :

The impact dynamics team within the Structure Systems department is responsible forsimulating fan blade off containment, bird ingestion, and other extreme conditions using large physics-based simulations. The impact dynamics intern will be responsible forprogressing and implementing current research projectsin collaboration with other team members. She / he assumes responsibility for several components of a project. He contributes to the team or department by applying knowledge of several functional areas.The goal is to implementimproved impact dynamics analytical methods based on current research to support cutting edgeaerospace engine development.

If you have a passion for aerospace or mechanical engineering and physics-based analysis, we invite you to apply.

What your day to day will look like :

Review past and current research relevant to aerospace impact dynamics

Review past fan blade off, bird ingestion, and bench test data

Propose and plan additional testing to support improved analysis methods

Implement research-basedimprovements in fan blade off and bird ingestion models

Document improved methods including simulation setup and correlation to test

What you need to be successful :
