We are seeking a talented Master's student to conduct a research thesis on optimizing flow dynamics and acoustic performance of a baseband fan tray system. This role combines computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation with experimental prototype testing, offering hands-on experience in thermal and acoustic engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and validate CFD models such as (ANSYS Fluent / PowerFlow CFD) to simulate the flow field and noise generation in the fan tray
- Conduct parametric studies to identify design improvements for flow efficiency and noise reduction
- Design, build, and test physical prototypes based on CFD predictions
- Perform acoustic and thermal measurements on prototypes
- Compare simulation results with experimental data and iterate on designs
- Document findings and prepare thesis with recommendations for further production
- Collaborate with engineering team to ensure technical feasibility
Required Skills and Qualifications
- Enrolled in or recently admitted to a Master's program in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- Strong foundation in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics
- Experience or willingness to quickly learn CFD tools and techniques
- Basic knowledge of CAD tools and handling(e.g., Creo, SpaceClaim)
- Experience with experimental testing and data analysis
- Solid technical writing and communication abilities
- Problem-solving mindset with attention to detail
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous CFD project experience
- Familiarity with acoustic simulation or noise measurement techniques
- Experience with design optimization methodology
- Programming skills (Python, MATLAB) for post-processing
What We Offer
Mentorship from experienced engineers, access to industry-standard tools, and the opportunity to contribute to a real product development cycle.
