• Improve simulation accuracy through anchoring to test data
• Develop tool automation to enhance functionality and user interface
• Collaborate on engine parameter sensitivity analysis and aircraft implications

📋 Requirements

• 5+ years hands-on experience with fluidic and propulsion systems
• Foundational knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and compressible flow
• Understanding of fluid systems and instrumentation hardware
• Experience with data acquisition and control systems

✨ Nice to Have

• Experience with test instrumentation and data reduction
• Familiarity with PLC hardware and communication protocols
• Ability to work in fast-paced, high-growth environment

🎁 Benefits & Perks

• 🏖️ Flexible time-off policy including PTO, holidays, and sick time
• 🏥 Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision with FSA
• 💰 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
• 🔄 Flexible work environment
