Mechatronics Engineer II

About the role

The Mechatronics Engineer – Advanced Engines Architectures will support the development of experimental propulsion architectures by designing actuation and control infrastructure for adaptive, multimodal engine operation. The role sits at the intersection of mechanical systems, electromechanical actuation, and control engineering.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop electromechanical actuation systems for propulsion subsystems such as variable geometry, valves, and flow control mechanisms.
• Integrate motors, sensors, gear systems, and embedded electronics for high‑performance, high‑temperature environments.
• Develop infrastructure linking actuators, sensors, and control systems within advanced engine architectures.
• Contribute to feedback control strategies and create multi‑domain models of mechanical, electrical, and control dynamics.
• Build and test experimental prototypes, design instrumentation and data acquisition for subsystem 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.

Required skills

• Electromechanical actuation system design
• Sensor integration and distributed sensing
• Embedded control hardware and real‑time interfaces
• Motor and gear system selection
• Multi‑domain modeling of mechanical, electrical and control dynamics
• Rapid prototyping and experimental testing
• Instrumentation and data acquisition for validation
