Creates 2D and 3D CAD models and drawings, performs structural and loads analyses, develops airworthiness approval strategies, and prepares technical documentation, test plans, and analysis reports. Coordinates with multidisciplinary engineering, pilot, and flight-test teams while supporting design reviews, formal releases, and mentoring junior engineers.

Designs and analyzes aerodynamic and acoustic solutions for jet engine test cells and aerospace ground-test facilities. Performs airflow and acoustic surveys, supports facility commissioning and validation, develops technical proposals and reports, and provides cost-effective recommendations for sales quotations. Requires expertise in aeroacoustics, fluid dynamics, jet noise, vibration, compressible flows, measurement systems, CFD, MATLAB, and LabVIEW. Presents technical findings to customers and at conferences, with 30% travel.

Design, develop, and maintain Linux-based software for jet engine test cell data acquisition and control systems. Integrate measurement hardware, optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, document architectures, and collaborate with hardware and software teams. Provide technical leadership and mentorship while enforcing software development, testing, and deployment best practices.

Supervise third-shift tire testing operations, personnel, test execution, equipment setup, troubleshooting, data validation, processing, and reporting. Coordinate with test engineering, operations, technicians, mechanics, and customers to meet objectives, schedules, budgets, and quality standards. Provide technical guidance, manage risks, communicate across shifts, and develop staff while ensuring accurate and timely test results.

Lead complex engineering, manufacturing, and test infrastructure projects from design through commissioning. Manage cross-functional teams, scope, schedules, budgets, revenue, cash flow, risks, customer expectations, contracts, subcontractors, and project financial forecasts. Resolve conflicts, negotiate requirements, support proposals and contract negotiations, and ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget. The role also requires client-facing communication, technical reporting, international project experience, and travel of up to 15–20%.

Leads the design, implementation, testing, documentation, and support of controls, software, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems for aerospace ground-test facilities. Designs electronic subsystems, control loops, electrical panels, and electro-mechanical integrations; manages scope, schedules, budgets, and design reviews; supports procurement, production, installation, commissioning, and customer sites; and assists with proposals, estimates, and technical recommendations.

Designs detailed electrical, controls, schematic, pneumatic, fabrication, and assembly drawing packages for aerospace test facilities. Partners with engineers, specifies hardware, manages CAD drawings and bills of material, communicates revisions, and coordinates with procurement, production, installation, and customers. Supports equipment assembly, testing, commissioning, field installation, checkout, and customer service while meeting schedule, budget, quality, code, and customer requirements.

Leads enterprise financial systems and business-process transformation, including ERP implementation, administration, optimization, and continuous improvement. Partners with finance and operational leaders on business analysis, budgeting, forecasting, process mapping, workflow optimization, reporting, and month-end close support. Manages cross-functional initiatives, documentation, system testing, and finance-process governance while developing teams and driving scalable, data-informed organizational performance.

Develops and maintains software test programs and tools for aerospace jet-engine testing. Collaborates with customers, manufacturers, and engineering teams on test configurations, installations, and system feasibility. Supports electro-mechanical, controls, data acquisition, and testing systems; evaluates technologies; documents domain knowledge; and manages project resources, schedules, budgets, and installation records. The role is on-site in St. Paul and requires travel of up to 30%.
