We are continuing to expand our team and are looking to fill the position of Turbine Test and Integration Engineer to design, execute and manage turbine testing and integration activities for our spaceplane demonstrators.
You will be responsible for setting up test stands, writing test procedures, collecting and analysing data and ensuring safe turbine operations. Operate test-rigs, data-acquisition systems, and simulation tools to conduct static and dynamic tests and monitor real-time data streams, identify anomalies and troubleshoot hardware or software faults
Collaborate with design and manufacturing teams to integrate turbine components into prototypes and full-scale test set-ups, while identifying integration interfaces (mechanical, electrical or control) and resolve compatibility issues
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical, Electrical or Aerospace Engineering (or related field)
~Strong understanding of gas-turbine thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and material science
~ Experience with test-rig design, instrumentation (pressure transducers, thermocouples, flow meters) and data-acquisition systems (National Instruments, PXI, LabVIEW, MATLAB)
~ Proficiency in data-analysis software (Python, MATLAB)
~ Experience in dealing with turbine manufacturers and ability to use CFD of FEM analysis to support test design
~ Scripting (Python/PowerShell) for automation
~ Strong communication skills and ability to work in cross functional, global teams
~ start up experience is a plus
The German aerospace start-up POLARIS Raumflugzeuge GmbH is developing a revolutionary reusable space launch and hypersonic transport system that operates like an aircraft.
Based on more than 30 years of German and European spaceplane research, the development of the spaceplane AURORA began at the German Aerospace Center DLR. Aurora combines aircraft and rocket launcher technologies with a unique vehicle design, and offers a game-changing economic viability as well as opening the door for routine low-cost and safe access to space.
