Internship - Experimental Thermofluid Systems
$72,000–$96,000 year
On-site · Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
Job Summary
MERL seeks a summer intern to develop laboratory experiments for thermofluid systems based on vapor-compression cycles. The ideal candidate will have extensive hands-on experience building pumped fluid systems, working with high-pressure equipment, and specifying and integrating sensors such as thermocouples and pressure transducers with data acquisition systems. The intern will collaborate closely with MERL researchers to design, assemble, and validate experimental platforms, and this work is expected to lead to a submission to a top-tier conference. Start date and duration are flexible.
Required Qualifications
- Current enrollment in a PhD program in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical Engineering or related programs (exceptional M.S. candidates considered)
- Extensive hands-on experience in designing and connecting sensors to data acquisition systems, designing instrumentation interfaces, and implementing reliable data-collection workflows is required
- Proficiency in Linux and C/C++ for data logging and visualization tools is essential; Python experience is a plus
