Experimental Physics Engineer: Build Propulsion Rigs

Destinus SA; Payerne; Hybrid; CHF 110.000 - 150.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Destinus is building advanced propulsion and pyrotechnic diagnostics in Switzerland, seeking an Experimental Physics Engineer to design, build, and operate test rigs that convert raw physical phenomena into reliable data.

You will own setups from concept to routine operation, selecting lasers, optics, sensors, electronics, and data acquisition systems to characterize propulsion-related phenomena. Fluency in English is required; travel up to 20% across Destinus sites is anticipated.

Qualifikationen

• Master’s degree in Physics, Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2+ years hands-on experience in experimental physics, R&D, or diagnostics environment.
• Practical experience with optical and laser-based measurement techniques (e.g. interferometry, velocimetry, spectroscopy).
• Solid understanding of analog and digital electronics; wiring, debugging, and instrumenting test setups.
• Experience with high-speed data acquisition, oscilloscopes, signal conditioning, and detector electronics.
• Proficiency in data analysis with Python, or equivalent.
• Experience with PCB design is a plus.

Aufgaben

• Design, build, commission, and research and development rigs to characterize physical phenomena.
• Select, integrate, and align optical and laser-based measurement systems with detection electronics.
• Develop and integrate sensor, signal conditioning, and high-speed data acquisition chains.
• Build and debug custom electronics or interface boards for experiments.
• Define test plans, calibration procedures, and data analysis methods for each campaign.
• Operate R&D setups during test campaigns, including diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• Analyze experimental data and correlate results with models or predictions.
• Document experiments, procedures, and results for design decisions and qualification work.
• Collaborate with propulsion, pyrotechnics, structures, and test teams to translate questions into approach.
