Instrumentation & Test Engineer - Turbofan (On-site)

Location: UAE Abu Dhabi

Department: Turbofan

Reports To: Test & Validation Leader

The Instrumentation and Test Engineer is responsible for the definition, preparation, execution and analysis of turbofan products, systems, modules and component test plan. She/He defines and manages measurement chain for turbofan engine and components testing. He/she ensures an accurate and reliable measurement of all engine parameters with the appropriate redundancy. He/she transforms real phenomena in traceable data, calibrated and certifiable.

Key Responsibilities

• Define test objectives, procedures, and instrumentation; Manage test execution and safety.
• Analyze results and issue test reports, compliance statements
• Oversee the planning and execution of test campaigns (component rigs, module and core engine tests, endurance and certification tests, Altitude Test, environmental and ingestion tests…) including instrumentation plans for data acquisition and selection of sensors
• Define instrumentation plan and select sensors and placement according to test objectives and means.
• Manage calibration and uncertainty analysis.
• Interfaces with Advanced Technology department and test cell engineers and operators, even with Customers and Partners.
