We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation: the Seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), Seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before.\nBacked by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.\nRole Overview\nOur Seagliders are reinventing how people move along the coast, and getting there means solving hard aerodynamic problems with both rigor and speed. As an Aerodynamics Engineering Intern, you'll work right at the intersection of aerodynamics and software, helping strengthen the infrastructure that carries our CFD simulations from job setup through post-processing. You won't just build and refine these tools, you'll also put them to work on real aerodynamic calculations for our programs, validating the very pipeline you help create. It's a rare chance to see your code and your aerodynamics knowledge contribute to the same outcome, in real time.\nYou'll join the Aerodynamics team within Hardware Engineering, a group balancing multiple programs and ambitious timelines, where investing in better tools and workflows pays dividends across everything the team builds. The team values contributions that go beyond a single isolated project: your ideas for improving job setup, scheduling, results handling, or post-processing could shape how the team works well beyond your internship. If you're the kind of engineer who gets as much satisfaction from building a better tool as from cracking the aerodynamics problem itself, you'll feel right at home here.\nWhat You'll Do\nStrengthen the CFD Pipeline: You'll build and refine tooling spanning job setup, scheduling, results handling, and post-processing, making the team's CFD workflows faster and more reliable.\n\nApply What You Build: You'll use the tools you improve to run real aerodynamic calculations for active programs, validating the models that inform how our vehicles are designed.\n\nHunt Down Friction Points: You'll get hands-on with the team's current workflows, spot where things slow down or break, and bring concrete ideas for fixing them.\n\nWork Across the Full Workflow: You'll get exposure to every stage of the CFD process, from pre-processing through solver execution to post-processing.\n\nShare Your Results: You'll present your work and its impact to the aerodynamics team, showing how your contributions changed the way the team operates.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nEngineering Foundation: You're currently studying aerospace, mechanical, or a related engineering field, with coursework in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics behind you.\n\nHands-On With CFD: You have some exposure to CFD and understand how pre-processing, solving, and post-processing fit together as a workflow.\n\nComfortable in Code and Linux: You have programming experience, ideally in Python, and you're comfortable working in a Linux environment.\n\nA Builder's Curiosity: You're genuinely curious about aerodynamic modeling of flying vehicles.\n\nGit Fluency a Plus: Experience with code configuration control through git would let you contribute to the codebase with more confidence from day one.\n\nHPC Know-How a Plus: Experience running simulations on high-performance computing systems would give you a head start understanding the back end of the process you'll be improving.\n\nSpecialized Tool Experience a Plus: Working experience with VLM, lifting line, Navier-Stokes CFD, or similar tools, as well as using AI thoughtfully to accelerate complex coding tasks, would be a clear advantage.\n\nWho We're Looking For\nCollaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision.\n\nCreative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether you're resolving installation challenges, debugging elusive electrical issues, or adapting on the fly during integration and test, you bring a practical, inventive mindset to every problem. You don't just patch issues - you improve processes, anticipate downstream impacts, and help turn one-off fixes into scalable solutions that raise the bar for future builds.\n\nAdaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.\n\nInnovative Mindset: You're driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You're passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.\n\nCollaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together.
