**What You Will Do** Join our world-class team! Now is your chance to make a difference in supporting our national security mission. The XCP-4, Continuum Models and Numerical Methods, group of Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking qualified candidates for a summer student internship researching methods and developing software at the intersection of computational geometry, mesh generation, geometric modeling and machine learning. XCP-4 is responsible for the design and implementation of a wide variety of physical models and simulation setup software including high explosive, turbulence, solid dynamics and damage models, and is a leader in the development of numerical methods for hydrodynamics simulations, remap and computational meshes. The successful candidate will perform directed research and development for geometry processing (computational geometry, solid modeling), block-structured and unstructured mesh generation and solution transfer within a collaborative environment. The candidate will be part of a multi-disciplinary team that also does research and production quality software development on methods for field remapping, material interface tracking, code-to-code linking, and automated simulation workflows. The team is also researches methods to apply AI/ML methods to improve geometric processing and meshing tasks, including shape recognition and shape segmentation. All software is developed and deployed in world-class high performance computing Unix environments with multi-core CPUs and GPUs. **What You Need** **Minimum Job Requirements:** - Experience with C++, Python, Unix, Unix shell scripting - Strong interest in the domain areas of mesh generation, geometric modeling and computational geometry. Additional requirements for student applicants are listed below: Undergraduate - Currently enrolled (12 semester credit hours or full-time equivalent) in an accredited undergraduate degree-granting program (or international equivalent) - Must have and mainta
