About Switch

At Switch, we don�t just design, build and operate data centers�we are enabling the technology of the future. Led by Founder & CEO, Rob Roy, we believe in revolutionary innovation, operational excellence and the principle of karma. Switch is where talented people come together to EVOLVE the digital world.

We believe that innovation isn�t just about technology�it�s about the people, culture, and purpose that make it happen. Every Switch team member contributes to a mission greater than themselves: to create the world�s most advanced digital infrastructure that powers the progress of humanity.

The Role: CFD Engineering Intern

As a CFD Engineering Intern, you will support the design and simulation of thermal and fluid systems used in data center environments. This role exists to help improve cooling performance and contribute to digital twin modeling of Switch infrastructure.

You will work alongside engineering teams to build 3D models, perform simulations, and document results that inform design decisions. This is a hands-on role focused on applying CFD principles in real-world systems.

What You�ll Do

Develop 3D CAD models for piping and fluid cooling systems used in CFD simulations

Perform CFD simulations to analyze fluid flow and thermal performance

Create visualizations and animations of fluid behavior within system models

Document modeling workflows and simulation processes for repeatability

Support development of simulation approaches for components such as heat exchangers, turbines, and GPUs

Participate in system modeling activities using tools such as SysML

Assist in preparing technical reports and presentation materials

Collaborate with engineering teams to interpret results and improve designs

What We�re Looking For

You have a strong interest in thermal and fluid systems

You are detail-oriented and methodical in your work

You are comfortable learning new tools and technologies

You communicate clearly and document your work effectively

You are curious and motivated to understand system behavior

What You�ll Bring

Required:

Currently enrolled in a Bachelor�s degree program in Mechanical Engineering or a related field

Experience with 3D CAD modeling for mechanical or fluid systems

Familiarity with CFD concepts and simulation tools

Basic understanding of piping systems and engineering schematics

Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Preferred:

Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, or PTC Creo

Experience with CFD tools such as ANSYS or Cadence

Familiarity with P&IDs and system diagrams

Exposure to SysML or system modeling tools

Prior internship or project experience in engineering environments

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every preferred qualification.
