Internship - Open Ship Digital-Twin

D-ICE Engineering is a deep-tech company founded in 2015 in Nantes. Our mission is to address three major challenges in the maritime sector: reducing the carbon footprint, enhancing safety at sea, and promoting clean energy production. To achieve this, we rely on a diverse range of expertise, including multiphysics simulation, scientific software development, marine engineering, and advanced navigation systems.

‍

Today, the company has approximately 40 engineers and PhDs specializing in hydrodynamics, applied mathematics, robotics, control systems, and software engineering.

‍

In 2024, D-ICE successfully raised €6 million in funding, marking a significant milestone in accelerating the commercialization of high-impact solutions for the maritime industry, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and decarbonized future.

‍

The main goal of this internship is to contribute to the definition of open ships digital twins and their applications in our numerical tools. These ships and applications will also be used to promote commercially our tools and methodologies.

‍

In collaboration with our R&D team, you will be in charge of  multidisciplinary tasks including:

• Conduct bibliography studies on openships designs,
• Build digital twins for each of our in-house numerical tools,
• Apply the tools to these digital twins, and validate their designs. 
• Develop simple general public applications, for commercial promotion.
