Our interns will work with top scientists to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing fuel efficiency, develop transportation technologies and analysis of future mobility modes.

Computational Modeling Intern Opportunity

Utilizing computational modeling to research and develop innovative technologies that promote the internal combustion engine as a clean, efficient and sustainable mode of transportation.

Typical Activities include:

• Use C to code an ignition model into the CONVERGE CFD software and validate the model performance in an engine.

• Use GT-Power to update an existing GT engine model and evaluate the engine performance

   

Strategic Transport Technology Intern Opportunity

Plan, execute, and communicate technical analysis relevant to Saudi Aramco’s sustainable mobility activities. Specifically, with a focus on climate and energy analysis, future mobility modes, transportation technologies, regulatory policy, and economic impacts.

Typical Activities include:

• Working with the STAT scientist to develop a Total cost of ownership model for alternative vehicle technologies (such as fuel cell vehicles and battery-swapping vehicles)

•  Analysis of vehicle demographic data to better understand BEV usage in US

   

Transport Technology Deployment Intern Opportunity

Research solutions on how to integrate fuel technology, combustion research and engine after treatment design while adding in custom electronic controls. Then combine these pieces together into an integrated vehicle to demonstrate the technology's viability and performance.

Typical Activities Include:

• Program a user interface for vehicle demonstrations using Qt

• Electrical schematic definition and creation in Visio

• 3D scanning and modeling of vehicle and engine integration projects 

Propulsion Technology Intern Opportunity

Develop sustainable and innovative propulsion technologies through experimentation to reduce carbon footprint and achieve zero criteria pollutants, including advanced engine combustion and aftertreatment concepts, novel fuel formulations, and mobile carbon capture.

Typical Activities include:

• Conduct experimental research to develop vapor-liquid equilibrium apparatus and perform solvent analysis for carbon capture

• Carry out advanced fuel formulation research on developing fuel component database, performing refinery streams analysis, and constructing physical property model for fuels

Climate and Sustainability Research Intern

Perform research in the areas of energy life cycle analysis, oil and gas carbon intensity assessment, refinery simulation and optimization, carbon economics, or techno-economic analysis. 

Typical Activities include:

• Collect parameters to be used in energy systems models  

• Analyze the environmental and economic tradeoffs between two or more energy systems, either at a stage- or life cycle-level. 

• Expand working knowledge of applicable software for programming (Matlab, Python, VB Excel, R), data analysis, and visualization 

• Provide and manage a safe, accident-free office environment; follow all company safety rules in performing job duties 

Transport Technology Integration Intern

Research solutions on how to integrate fuel technology, combustion research and engine after treatment design while adding in custom electronic controls. Then combine these pieces together into an integrated vehicle to demonstrate the technology's viability and performance.

Typical Activities Include:

• Creating and modifying Simulink models for embedded controller code generation

• Electrical schematic definition and creation in Visio

• 3D scanning and modeling of vehicle and engine integration projects

• Software and code debugging

• Electronic component and system level debugging
