• Develop and maintain LabVIEW-based DAQ applications for real-time monitoring and logging
• Configure DAQ systems including channel setup, sampling, filtering, and synchronization
• Develop instrumentation integration strategies for wiring, grounding, shielding, and signal conditioning
• Lead instrumentation technical reviews for test campaign readiness
• Troubleshoot DAQ and instrumentation issues during live testing
• Perform calibration, validation, and measurement error mitigation
• Maintain structured documentation of instrumentation layouts and calibration records

Must-have Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Instrumentation, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline
• Hands-on experience with LabVIEW programming for DAQ applications
• Familiarity with industrial DAQ systems including synchronization and triggering
• Experience integrating sensors in experimental or rotating machinery environments
• Understanding of measurement uncertainty, grounding, shielding, and noise mitigation
• Experience supporting live test campaigns under time-critical conditions
• Strong technical documentation and communication capability

Good to Have

• Experience in turbomachinery or MGT testing environments
• Familiarity with NI DAQ platforms or equivalent systems
• Exposure to PLC-based control systems or test controller integration
• Experience with high-frequency or high-temperature instrumentation
• Familiarity with MATLAB or Python for signal post-processing

What We Offer

• Direct ownership of instrumentation and data quality in real MGT programs
• Hands-on exposure to high-speed turbomachinery testing and validation
• Cross-functional collaboration across structural, rotordynamics, combustion, and systems teams
• A technically rigorous, product-driven engineering culture
• Growth toward Senior Test Engineer or Controls Lead roles
