Responsibilities

Project Task:

The intern will conduct approximately 100 Head Component Tests (HCT), following established procedures and documenting results to evaluate variability and repeatability. They will support vibration testing by reviewing test data and validating correlations against simulation work. The intern will also help formalize Panasonic's internal Ball Impact, 3-Point Bend, and HCT processes to enable future in-house testing capability.

The student will gain hands-on experience with physical testing, data collection, and test-to-simulation correlation in a real engineering environment. They will learn how industry test standards are applied, how variables influence test outcomes, and how to interpret engineering data for design decisions. This internship provides direct exposure to verification methodology, mechanical behavior, and certification-level test processes used across the aerospace industry.
