The softwarefocused propulsion test engineer is responsible for maintaining and optimizing our current software environments as well as developing our next generation of test equipment software. This role provides the opportunity to support propulsion system testing through software solutions. Engineers with a background or interest in aviation may also have the chance to participate in propulsionfocused flight tests. This is an exciting opportunity to help us revolutionize flight and we promise a fastpaced environment with a lot of fun times.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
- Develop and maintain software tools for propulsion test automation using MATLAB Simulink Python and Labview
- Enhance and optimize existing test systems focusing on improving data collection analysis and reporting efficiency
- Implement best practices for version control (e.g. Git SVN) to ensure robust software development and team collaboration
- Design and implement efficient data transfer mechanisms for largescale test data ensuring secure reliable storage and easy access for analysis
- Build cool things! We are all passionate makers and builders
Minimum Qualifications:
- BS in Engineering or equivalent experience and evidence of exceptional ability
- Experience with common communication protocols e.g.CAN RS422 TCP/IP UDP) and wireless communication technologies (e.g. WiFi Bluetooth)
- Proficient with Matlab Labview Python or other data acquisition and analysis software
- Experience with version control software (eg. GIT SVN)
- Experience with time synchronization protocols (eg. PTP NTP PPS)
- Well organized communicative disciplined team player with strong attention to detail. Ability to work with minimal supervision and identify strategies to remove roadblocks is paramount. Mental flexibility and the ability to change direction based on new information is an absolute must in our fast paced environment
- Familiarity with Google GSuite including drive mail calendar docs sheets slides charts hangouts; Slack application lifecycle
Above and Beyond Qualifications that will distinguish you:
- Electric motor component/system testing experience
- Familiar with testing equipment such as digital signal generator oscilloscopes load cells torque cells thermocouples air speed sensors accelerometers and other instrumentation.
- Rotating machinery testing experience
- Aerospace certification testing
- Experience creating analytical and numerical models of mechanical thermal or electrical systems
- Working knowledge of high voltage equipment electric drives and motors
- Working knowledge of heat transfer and thermal management
- Ability to understand component & assembly drawings and perform basic inspection of components for troubleshooting purposes with inspection instruments / gauges
Physical Demands and Work Environment:
- This position requires handling motors and inverters using cranes and other lifting equipment. It also requires climbing on propeller stands using proper safety equipment to inspect the equipment.
- Test engineers must be aware of the acoustic properties of motors and good hearing is required. Good vision is also required to inspect components. The test engineers frequently are required to use hands or fingers handle or feel objects tools or controls
- Test engineers will work around high voltages and must be able to work safely in that environment. Some of the testing is conducted outside the ability to work at those extreme temperatures is required
- Test programs sometimes require the test engineers to be present during night testing or participate in atypical work schedules
- Additionally as magnets are used throughout the equipment it is important that candidates are not affected by strong magnetic fields (e.g. individuals with pacemakers or similar medical devices should be aware of potential safety concerns)
