Rotordynamic Engineering Intern

The Impact You'll Make

As a Rotordynamics Engineering Intern , you’ll help shape the performance and reliability of next-generation commercial compressors. Your work will directly support the development of high-efficiency, oil-free compressor technologies that play a key role in advancing sustainable cooling and climate solutions.

You’ll gain hands-on experience analyzing and optimizing the dynamic behavior of rotating systems—turning theory into practical engineering impact. From vibration analysis to simulation, your contributions will help ensure our products meet the highest standards of performance and durability.

This is an opportunity to learn, experiment, and make a tangible contribution alongside experienced engineers working on real-world product innovation.

This is a year-round internship located onsite at our facility in Tallahassee, Florida.

What You’ll Get from Us

At Danfoss, you’ll do work that matters—while building skills that last a career. You’ll join a collaborative, innovative engineering team where your ideas are welcomed and your development is prioritized.

You’ll gain exposure to real product development cycles , work with experienced engineers, and deepen your technical expertise through hands-on projects. We offer a supportive environment where learning is continuous, feedback is encouraged, and curiosity is rewarded.

This role provides a strong foundation for a future in mechanical engineering, with opportunities to grow your skills in simulation, testing, and advanced compressor technology .

What You’ll Be Doing

• Analyze rotordynamic behavior using modeling and simulation tools to support compressor performance and reliability
