## Description

The Turbomachinery Test Engineer supports the planning and execution of turbomachinery testing, from test architecture and instrumentation through commissioning, live operations, and data-driven design feedback. Reporting to the Integration and Test Lead, you will work with the design team to make hardware testable and build the rigs, procedures, and systems needed to operate it safely.

You'll help execute test campaigns that take the machine from first checkout and spin through high-speed, high-power operation and the full operating envelope. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who can move comfortably between test design, instrumentation, operating procedures, real-time troubleshooting, and engineering analysis., * Execute turbomachinery test campaigns from component tests through full integrated-machine validation under the direction of the Test Lead.

 * Design and commission test rigs, support systems, fluid and mechanical interfaces, instrumentation, controls interfaces, and safety systems.
 * Work with the Test Lead and design engineers to define test objectives, procedures, matrices, acceptance criteria, and data requirements.
 * Develop and maintain instrumentation and data-acquisition systems, calibration, synchronization, data quality, and traceability.
 * Support test readiness and hazard reviews, and execute checkout, commissioning, startup, shutdown, abort, fault-recovery, and live test operations.
 * Troubleshoot hardware, instrumentation, controls, and system behavior during test and turn results directly into design conclusions and model correlation.
