About the role

Graduate mechanical engineering internship focused on running structural FEA simulations for Meta's Accelerator Reference Design (ARD) modules, including liquid-cooled high-power assemblies, with collaboration across mechanical, thermal, packaging and electrical engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build, mesh and run structural FEA models in ANSYS of accelerator modules, PCBs and mechanical hardware such as stiffeners and cold plates.
  • Simulate mounting and preload, assembly, gravity and handling loads to evaluate stress, strain and deflection against design criteria.
  • Run warpage simulations at room and elevated temperatures for bare boards, populated boards and full assemblies.
  • Run design-of-experiment and parametric studies (geometry, thickness, material) to support design trade-offs.
  • Correlate simulation results with lab test data (e.g. shadow moiré, strain gauge) and refine models to improve accuracy.
  • Document assumptions, boundary conditions and results in clear reports, and present findings and recommendations to the ARD team.

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a Master's or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Hands-on experience with ANSYS (Mechanical or Workbench) for structural FEA, through coursework, research or projects
  • Solid foundation in solid mechanics, strength of materials and material behavior
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  • Intent to return to full-time degree program after completion of the internship
