Job Description

The Bosch Research and Technology Center in Sunnyvale, CA is looking for an outstanding MS or PhD student to investigate adjoint methods for simulation-based design. The scope of this internship is to perform adjoint-based shape optimization for Bosch products with a specific focus on developing geometry constraint models as an important component in the optimization workflow. All work is within the context of a Python-based Bosch in-house optimization framework and the open-source SU2 software package for multiphysics simulation and design. In addition to practical application, the intern will implement new numerical methods, performance improvements, or adjoint formulations in the software as necessary.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop geometry constraint models for shape update in the optimization workflow
• Create interface between SU2 and the optimization framework
• Perform adjoint-based shape optimization of Bosch products.
• Communicate results via group presentations and a final report.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD candidate Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields.
• Hands-on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or other physics-based simulation experience, including pre-processing, simulation set up, and post-processing.
• Knowledge of adjoint methods and numerical optimization, demonstrated by coursework and/or publications.
• Experience with the open-source SU2 software for multiphysics simulation and design.
• Strong technical, teamwork, and communication skills.
• C++ and Python programming experience.

Additional Information

• LOCATION: Sunnyvale, CA
• DURATION: 3-6 months

By choice, we are committed to a diverse workforce - EOE/Protected Veteran/Disabled.
