Mechatronics Engineer II - Advanced Propulsion

About the role

Powertech is a centre of excellence for propulsion technologies, designing and manufacturing turbojet, turbofan and advanced propulsion systems for aerospace, defence and autonomous platforms. Its Advanced Propulsion team develops next-generation, low-TRL propulsion architectures and their actuation, sensing and control systems. The Mechatronics Engineer supports the development of experimental propulsion architectures by designing the actuation and control infrastructure that enables adaptive and multimodal engine operation, working within the Advanced Engine Architecture team.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop electromechanical actuation systems for propulsion subsystems such as variable geometry, valves and flow control mechanisms, evaluating and integrating motors, sensors, gear systems and embedded electronics for high-performance, high-temperature environments.
• Develop the infrastructure linking actuators, sensors and control systems, and support the integration of distributed sensing and real-time control interfaces.
• Contribute to feedback control strategies for propulsion actuation and develop multi-domain models of mechanical, electrical and control dynamics.
• Build and test experimental systems and prototypes, and design instrumentation and data acquisition for subsystem validation.
• Work closely with propulsion, controls and electronics engineers on architecture development and experimental validation.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics or a related field.
• 3-7 years of experience developing electromechanical or robotic systems.
• Experience integrating actuators, sensors and embedded control hardware.

Desirable skills

• Experience with propulsion systems or aerospace hardware.
• Experience in rapid prototyping or experimental R&D environments.
• An innovative, out-of-the-box approach.
