Internship - Ship Modeling and Simulation
The main goal of this internship is to contribute to the improvements of our modeling and simulation tools, which are of the utmost importance for the control and weather routing of wind assisted ships.
About us
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.
About the position
The main goal of this internship is to contribute to the improvements of our modeling and simulation tools, which are of the utmost importance for the control and weather routing of wind assisted ships. These improvements address modeling limits regarding some ship’s components (propeller, wind propulsion, hull and appendices, etc.) or its behavior.
In collaboration with our R&D team, you will be in charge of multidisciplinary tasks including:
- Conduct bibliography studies,
- Develop proof of concept for selected models, from the literature,
- Integration of these models in our tools,
- Validation and comparison of these models and their implementations
Required Skills
We are looking for a dynamic and motivated student, ideally passionate about the oceans and maritime world and willing to join a dynamic and ambitious company.
Required skills
- Naval hydrodynamics
- General mechanics
- Python; C++ and Object-Oriented programming is a bonus
- Proficiency in English
Profil
Student of an engineering school or a university program related to hydrodynamics, mechanics, or scientific computing (examples: Centrale Nantes, Marseille, ENSTA Paris or Bretagne, ENSAM, ISITV, or equivalent)
