Acoustics Systems Analysis Intern

AMA is seeking motivated and detail-oriented Acoustics Systems Analysis Intern to join our team in Moffett Field, CA supporting NASA on the Aircraft Systems and Spaceflight Engineering Support Services (ASSESS) contract at NASA Ames Research Center (ARC). Work will be in support of the Systems Analysis Office at NASA ARC. Level of effort can be variable during the school year based on course schedule, but may ramp up to full-time during the summer.

About the Projects:

NASA ARC is seeking support for development and enhancement of the Boundary Element Acoustic Noise Solver (BEANS) tool (a C++ based tool)

Pay for this position is $29.50/hr -$33.50/hr, depending on education.

Responsibilities:

• Investigate formulations of the BEANS formulation of the VSPAERO acoustic solver to address the spurious internal acoustics solutions
• Investigate, implement, and test methods for parallelization or improved execution speed for BEANS solutions.
• Communicate progress of activity to project leads and brief research to other project engineers as required

Desired Skills:

• Prior experience with and knowledge of VSPAERO, BEANS, or code parallelization is highly preferred.

Required Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a degree (B.S, M.S or PhD) in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering; or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience in acoustic noise related research or modeling, with preferred application to fixed wing or rotorcraft vehicles
