TL;DR · Integration and Test Engineer, Fuel Systems

As an Integration and Test Engineer, Fuel Systems, you will join the Maneuver Dominance team to own the integration and testing of fuel systems for Omen, an advanced Group 3 VTOL tail-sitting aircraft. You will manage end-to-end test campaigns including component bench tests and full vehicle ground tests for tanks, pumps, valves, fluid lines, and sensors. Your role involves defining requirements for measurement approaches to characterize weight, center of gravity, and moments of inertia across various fuel states. You will develop orientation test programs, design specialized fixturing and tooling, and ensure safety during hazardous fluid handling. Key technical skills include experience with DAQ setup, sensor installation, and proficiency in CAN, Ethernet, and Serial communication protocols. This role solves critical engineering challenges regarding fuel flow behavior and pump performance within complex aircraft systems.

What you'll do

  • Manage fuel system integration and testing from component bench tests through full vehicle ground tests.
  • Define requirements and instrumentation for measuring vehicle weight, center of gravity, and moments of inertia.
  • Execute orientation test programs to capture fuel flow behavior, pump performance, and tank dispense sequencing.
  • Define specifications for fixturing, tooling, and test setups for both bench and vehicle-level testing.
  • Coordinate with engineering teams to define load cases and configurations for mass properties testing.
  • Provide clean data from mass property tests to support ground vibration testing and flight dynamics.
  • Ensure safety in integration environments by managing hazardous fluid handling and heavy-lift operations.
  • Maintain configuration control for fuel system integration environments and test fixtures.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical, Aerospace, Systems, or a related engineering discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in integration and test of fluid/fuel systems and/or aircraft mass properties test programs.
  • Experience with aircraft or vehicle mass properties measurement techniques and associated instrumentation.
  • Experience with fuel or fluid system components including tanks, pumps, valves, fluid lines, and sensors.
  • Experience defining fixturing and test setup requirements for fluid system rigs or multi-orientation ground testing.
  • Proficiency in DAQ setup, sensor selection, and common communication protocols like CAN, Ethernet, and Serial.
  • Ability to work safely with fuel, hazardous fluids, and pressurized systems.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia.
  • Defense industry background (preferred).
