## Description

This position directly supports the Defense Fuels mission space by enabling reliable, high - speed data acquisition and integrated controls across critical fuel infrastructure, ensuring secure and compliant operations where high - speed LabVIEW systems interface with low - speed PLC - controlled platforms to maintain mission readiness. The engineer leads development of high - speed LabVIEW data acquisition and control systems, ensures synchronized communication, data integrity, and reliability across multi - platform control architectures, and provides engineering support for a diverse range of test operations, from small benchtop setups to large - scale industrial qualification stands. An active DOE Q clearance, or the ability to obtain and maintain one, is required., * Architect, develop, and maintain LabVIEW applications for high-speed data acquisition and real-time control.

 * Design communication bridges between high-speed LabVIEW systems and low-speed PLC platforms.
 * Collaborate with PLC engineers to align LabVIEW logic with interlocks, alarming, and I/O management.
 * Prepare wiring diagrams, loop sheets, channel maps, and system documentation.
 * Coordinate with vendors and generate technical reports.
 * Implement software configuration management for LabVIEW, FPGA, and test automation code.
 * Lead automation initiatives using Python, MATLAB, and AI-supported engineering processes.
 * Mentor junior engineers and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
 * Provide engineering design, troubleshooting, and commissioning support across multiple test stands of varying scale and complexity.
