Mass Properties Intern (Summer) at Regent · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

REGENT's Mass Properties discipline sits at the heart of every vehicle program. As the Mass Properties Engineer Intern, you'll work directly on real, high-impact work from day one.
This isn't spreadsheet upkeep. You'll do the engineering a full-time hire would do: pulling mass, CG, and inertia data directly from CAD, working with various IPTs to keep the data accurate, and writing scripts that replace manual work. You'll help close out weight and balance control for our prototype vehicle, and help define the management plan, database architecture, and tools that our production craft will rely on through production.
You'll join the Aero & Performance team within Hardware Engineering. If you'd rather open a CAD model and find the answer yourself, write a script than repeat a task by hand, and help build a discipline instead of plugging into one that already exists, you'll fit right in!
Support R&D W&B Control: You'll help develop and implement the processes that control our products’ weight and balance properties through the maturation of design, including how mass data is sourced, verified, updated through configuration changes, and reported.
Build Supporting Tools: You'll write scripts to automate reporting of mass properties and mass rollups across programs, establishing the appropriate checks and balances.
Work Laterally Across the Company: You'll gain a system view by interfacing directly with adjacent departments (structures, propulsion, avionics, etc) to collect mass properties, challenge their reports, and keeping the database up to date.
Exposure to Design Tools: You'll have visibility into the PLM system and the DMU to gain a deeper understanding of the system layout and reports generated by the responsible engineers.
Identify Risks and Opportunities: You'll assess mass and balance data to flag potential weight or CG issues, identify opportunities to reduce weight, and share your findings with the relevant engineering teams.
Define and Deliver a Real Outcome: You'll scope a clear goal with your manager early in the term and present your results, including your assumptions and data sources, to the team at the end of it.
Set Your Priorities: You'll work independently under the guidance of the Mass Properties Engineer, who will mentor you and help you define your priorities across the different programs to achieve your set objectives.
What You'll Bring
CAD Fluency: You can navigate CATIA, SolidWorks, NX or similar tools to independently understand the vehicle layout, pull mass, CG, and inertia data.
