| Performance Expectations |
The intern is expected to learn thermal desktop in order to perform thermal analysis on electronics subsystems. The software will increase the ability of the group to develop thermal models that can be directly imported in to the the spacecraft's thermal software. This will also result in more accurate correlations of thermal models.
The skills obtained by the intern will be used to produce full-scale and reduced thermal models that can be provided for direct import into SYNDA-G based spacecraft thermal software. The intern is expected to provide a short tutorial outlining the specific steps need to model and solve using thermal desktop. The intern will be provided with some one-one one training but the intern will be expected to get through the software's tutorials on her/his own. The intern will host a series of meetings with the branch outlining progress and analysis process improvement methodology discovered. As the end of the term, a short presentation detailing a summary of the work completed will be required. For this reason, communication, listening/note-taking, oral presentation, and time management skills are required. The intern is also expected to research and solve problems on her/his own. So, a good amount of curiosity within an energetic individual is desired.
Any down time during this project will be filled with short design, analysis and/or testing assignments.
Capabilities
problem solving, leadership, interpersonal communication, listening/note-taking, oral presentation, and time management skills.
Skills
- mechanical design and software experience is desired but not required. The CAD system used in thermal desktop is AutoCAD. SolidEdge is the CAD system used in the group.
- MS Office (Excel, Word, Power point) is highly desired
