Role Objective
Own the sensing, data acquisition, valve actuation and measurement backbone of the propulsion test facility end to end and build and lead the instrumentation team that runs it. The goal is a facility where every current rig is instrumented against a frozen requirement, every channel produces clean, calibrated and traceable data on every firing,



test campaigns run round the clock without instrumentation delays, and the facility keeps pace with Manastu's growth through clear standards and a costed upgrade roadmap.
Role Overview
Every firing, every pressure spike, every millisecond of thermal data that proves our thrusters work starts with the instrumentation. As the Lead Instrumentation Engineer in Propulsion Testing, you'll head our instrumentation team and own the sensing, data acquisition, actuation and measurement backbone of our propulsion test facility, building it up alongside the AIT team and standing at the console when the thrusters fire.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the heart of our test operations. Test windows don't always fall in business hours: hot-fire and qualification campaigns often run late, and you'll be there through them, making sure every channel captures clean, reliable data when it counts.
