Generative Design combined with Digital Manufacturing has the potential to revolutionize structural development workflows, leading to massively reduced development time, lighter spacecraft, and lower costs. This internship opportunity will advance and adapt Generative Design and Digital Manufacturing technologies for NASA applications by developing and infusing a broadly applicable process for rapid flight structure development. See https://www.digitalengineering247.com/article/meet-your-new-design-consultant-generative-design/design for background information.
Interns are needed to aid in several technology development tasks to advance the technology; e.g., new materials, new fabrication techniques, and larger structures. Creative ideas, agile hardware development, rigorous experimentation, and courageous risk-taking are needed to advance design automation and enable a brighter future in space exploration. The successful applicant will be inquisitive and self-motivated. The intern will be given general goals relating to an aspect of the technology development and will be expected to advance that technology through engineering and experimentation. Creativity and innovative ideas are encouraged to help advance the technology. Useful skills include 3D printing, machining, mechanical assembly, design/CAD, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). At the end of the internship the intern will present the results of their research at a center-wide poster session.
