CFD Intern

About AVC Autonomous Valve CFD (AVC) is a cloud-based platform that automates flow simulation for industrial valve manufacturers, generating Cv, pressure drop, hydrodynamic torque, and cavitation index predictions without manual CFD setup. We work with valve and flow-control manufacturers globally to replace slow, expensive physical testing with fast, validated simulation. Role Overview We're looking for a CFD Intern to support technical support work on the AVC platform. You'll help resolve technical issues that come up as clients use AVC, understand their requirements, and translate them into correctly set up CFD problems, going as deep as the problem demands. Along the way, you'll get exposure to client meetings and direct interaction with valve manufacturers.

Responsibilities

Support day-to-day technical support tasks: case setup queries, result interpretation, troubleshooting failed or suspect runs Understand client

requirements

and translate them into correctly set up CFD cases in OpenFOAM (Cv, pressure drop, cavitation index) Get exposure to client meetings and calls alongside the AVC team as needed to understand

requirements

or walk through results Document recurring issues and feed them back to the product team to improve the platform

Requirements

Hands-on

experience

with OpenFOAM (academic, research, or project-based) Master's degree preferred (Mechanical, Thermal, Aerospace, Chemical Engineering, or related) Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics and numerical methods Comfortable talking to clients, asking the right questions, and explaining technical concepts in plain terms Good written and verbal communication; able to handle support conversations professionally Good to Have Exposure to Python scripting for automation or post-processing Familiarity with industrial valve or piping systems Prior internship, project, or customer-facing

experience

What You'll Gain Direct exposure to a production CFD product used by industrial manufacturers worldwide Real

experience

translating client problems into technical solutions Added exposure to client meetings and direct interaction with valve manufacturers

Benefits

Opportunity to work with a dynamic and fast-paced engineering IT organization. Be part of a company that is passionate about transforming product development with technology.
