Job Description
Virtual Simutech is offering a 6-month Consolidated Internship Program focused on CAD & CAE for engineering students and graduates. This program provides practical exposure to real-world engineering workflows, industry tools, simulation, design optimization, automation, and digital engineering across multiple specialized tracks: CAD Engineering, Moldflow, CAE Structural Optimization, and CAE/CFD Process Automation using Python and AI/ML. Interns will work on structured assignments and project deliverables, developing industry-relevant engineering skills. The program also provides a potential PPO/Graduate Engineer Trainee opportunity.
Roles and Responsibilities
- CAD Responsibilities: Create sketches, parts, assemblies, and engineering drawings. Apply GD&T, fits, and tolerances. Consider manufacturing feasibility during design. Support plastics, sheet metal, BIW, and simulation-ready modelling. Prepare BOMs, ECN documentation, design logs, and revision history. Participate in design reviews and present final project outcomes.
- CAE Structural Optimization Responsibilities: Identify suitable components for weight reduction. Perform baseline FEA, defining materials, loads, and boundary conditions. Set optimization objectives and constraints, running topology, topography, size, shape, or free-shape optimization. Interpret optimization results, reconstruct the optimized CAD geometry, and validate the final design through FEA. Prepare a final validation report and presentation.
- CAE/CFD Automation Responsibilities: Identify CAE/CFD workflows suitable for automation. Develop modular Python scripts integrated with CAE APIs. Collect, clean, and organize simulation data. Train and validate basic AI/ML models. Use AI/ML for prediction, optimization, or decision support. Document methodology and script usage. Measure workflow efficiency improvements and prepare a final technical report and presentation.
- Moldflow Responsibilities: Perform filling, packing, cooling, and warpage analysis. Support mold optimization. Prepare simulation reports. Collaborate with design and tooling teams.
