About the role
- Why Join Stand https://www.standinsurance.com/careers/why-stand/: At Stand, you'll help build a new class of global property protection. We use advanced physics and AI to model catastrophic risk at the asset level, then automate underwriting and mitigation before loss occurs. Insurance is simply the current delivery mechanism. The real product is a scalable
- risk engine, our Stand World Model https://frontier.standinsurance.com.
Responsibilities
- Design and support controlled fire experiments by defining test conditions, configurations, and instrumentation layouts
- Support numerical simulations and perform experimental-simulation comparisons for fire model validation
- Maintain clear run logs, data documentation, and experimental runbooks to ensure repeatability and knowledge transfer
- We're seeking a Fire Science Engineering Intern to support Stand's fire experimentation and simulation validation efforts.
- This role spans experiment design, execution, data processing, and numerical simulation tie-out.
- You will help design and run controlled fire experiments, manage instrumentation and data capture, and convert raw experimental outputs into validation-ready datasets that directly support physics-based fire modeling.
- Role Description: We're seeking a Fire Science Engineering Intern to support Stand's fire experimentation and simulation validation efforts. This role spans experiment design, execution, data processing, and numerical simulation tie-out.
- This is an immersive, project-based internship designed for students or early-career engineers interested in fire science, experimental methods, and computational modeling-not a survey or observer role.
