Responsibilities
Support full-vehicle and subsystem crash simulation workflows, including model prep, mesh quality checks, contact definitions, material card review, and boundary/initial condition setup.
Assist in building
test–simulation integration pipelines
using sled test data, high-speed video metrics, accelerometers, load-cell channels, ATD sensor data, intrusion measurements, and time-history curves.
Perform engineering analytics using Python to compare
simulation vs. physical test
Team
The Advanced Digital Technology (ADT) Crash Safety group builds Scout’s physics-AI crash digital twins, integrating full-vehicle CAE, subsystem models, and physical test data to enable early, high-accuracy safety predictions. The team plays a critical role in guiding structural, restraint, and occupant-safety decisions long before prototypes exist, directly influencing program safety ratings and sign-off readiness.
This internship will support the team by executing hands-on crash simulation tasks, validating digital models against sled and crash-test data, and helping streamline our test–simulation correlation workflows. The intern will contribute to the architecture of the crash digital twin, improving predictive capability and accelerating safety decision-making for Scout programs.
