Your Mission

As part of the Avionics, Guidance, Navigation and Control (AGNC) team, you will move horizontally across the design teams, focusing on the instrumentation of Spectrum. You will be responsible for the selection and qualification of the vehicle’s sensors, while maintaining the corresponding interfaces across the departments. Furthermore, you will work with all design teams to select and integrate sensor components, define operative procedures, and test the equipment for flight hardware and respective prototypes.

More specifically, you will:

Be the focal point for sensor systems on the vehicle
- Establish design and operative standards for flight instrumentation
- Perform hands-on assembly and testing of equipment
- Support all design teams in the selection and qualification of sensors
- Support the manufacturing and testing teams in the definition of operative procedures such as assembly, calibration, and data evaluation
Perform qualitative and quantitative checks on the sensors on-board the vehicle
- Improvement of the already existing selection of instrumentation
- Propose alternatives and assist the design teams in the selection process when needed
- Ensure the sensors are properly mounted on the vehicle to serve their purpose and survive the vehicle’s environments
Own and maintain the fight sensor list across the vehicle
- Align with the design teams and periodically update the list and sensor configuration files
- Ensure all interfaces are bridged and up to date.
Select the appropriate connectors according to the chosen sensors
Perform functional and environmental qualification of the selected sensors
Estimate and calculate errors resulting from the measurement chain in the corresponding systems
Assist with the integration of flight sensors to the Flight Test Instrumentation system

Who you are and what you have

Now, to help us gain a better understanding of your technical fit for the role, please answer the following questions. These together with your CV will determine the next steps in the hiring process. Is that fine with you? *

Please describe aliasing in data acquisition and how to mitigate it. *

Compare the characteristics of two types of pressure transducers to each other: sensors outputting a voltage (e.g. 0-5V) vs. sensors drawing a specific current (e.g. 4-20mA) to reflect the measured pressure. *

Please list 10 different types of sensors or other means of instrumentation that you would find during an engine hot-fire test either in the test article itself or in the structures and environment around it. List the same sensor type only twice even thought there might be more applications for them. *
