Description

You will support the development and testing of next-generation small turbojet engines by designing, integrating, and operating engine test control systems, instrumentation, and data acquisition architectures. This hands-on role involves working closely with test and design teams to develop automated control systems for test stands and engine rigs, enabling rapid iteration and high-fidelity performance characterization of turbine propulsion systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related field
• 2+ years of experience in controls systems, test automation, or propulsion system development
• Experience designing or integrating data acquisition and control systems for complex hardware systems
• Familiarity with control theory and real-time control software implementation
• Experience working with instrumentation, sensors, and hardware interfaces
• Ability to work hands-on in laboratory or test environments
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain control systems and data acquisition architectures for turbojet engine test stands and component rigs
• Develop and deploy control software and automation frameworks to command engine systems, actuators, fuel delivery systems, and instrumentation
• Integrate sensors and instrumentation including pressure, temperature, vibration, fuel flow, and shaft speed measurements
• Design and implement real-time control algorithms for engine start, throttle scheduling, safety interlocks, and shutdown sequences
• Develop LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, or PLC-based control applications for automated testing and monitoring
• Interface with propulsion engineers to implement control logic, safety limits, and operating envelopes for turbojet engines
• Perform data analysis and post-test reporting, identifying trends in engine performance, efficiency, and stability
• Troubleshoot hardware and software issues across controls systems, instrumentation, valves, and actuators during test operations
• Support test stand design and upgrades, including control cabinets, wiring architectures, and safety systems
• Contribute to root cause analysis and corrective actions related to engine test anomalies
