We are engineers at heart. A shared passion for structural engineering first brought us together at Delft University of Technology. And later on laid the foundation for VIBES as a company.
VIBES helps the automotive industry reduce noise and vibrations in cars, which is a relevant topic especially with electric cars. We work with engineers from car companies as BMW, Hyundai and Volvo and even help Formula 1 racing teams with our unique software. We work on a global scale and we have two offices: one in Delft and one in Munich.

This internship will focus on providing logistical support for the L&D TDT and technical assistance for on-going assessments. Tasks include:
> Augment support on NESC assessments in topics that may include, but are not limited to vibroacoustics, dynamic loads, and vibration control. Prepare findings from reviews and technical analysis for presentation in reports and briefings.
> Assist in knowledge capture exercises for the loads and dynamics discipline.
> Organize discipline enhancement activities in pertinent structural dynamics topics including loads and vibration, vibroacoustics, shock and impact, and tests, tools, and methods.
The internship will be virtual with Langley Research Center serving as the home center. A direct link to this solicitation is also provided below:
