Propulsion Intern, Propulsion

Your Role in Our Space Mission:

• Support the migration of engine component characterization data into a scalable and maintainable database structure.
• Develop and implement a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables engineers, technicians, and other stakeholders to efficiently interact with parameter database.
• Perform statistical analysis of historical engine operating data and engine load point prediction data to identify trends, outliers, and data quality issues.
• Develop data visualization tools and automated analysis workflows to support model calibration, validation, and engineering decision-making.
• Support the definition and evaluation of dedicated test cases to verify orifice modelling assumptions and improve model fidelity.
• Conduct sensitivity studies to assess the impact of key orifice design features on model performance and engine behavior.
