Impulse is seeking a Test Automation Engineer to develop and operate software systems powering their propulsion test infrastructure. You will be responsible for automation, data acquisition, and control software used across engine test stands, valve test benches, and other propulsion component test assets.
Key responsibilities include designing, implementing, and maintaining automation software for propulsion test operations, including near-real-time data acquisition, control systems, automated test sequences, and user-facing tools. You'll implement automation frameworks to streamline setup, execution, and analysis for propulsion component testing such as engines, valves, and pressure systems.
You will work closely with the test operations team to continually refine and optimize the software used on test assets, participating in the full test lifecycle from concept and integration through execution, debugging, and iterative improvement. You'll review and contribute high-quality, well-tested code within a collaborative, fast-moving environment, diagnose and resolve issues across software, hardware interfaces, and test infrastructure with resourceful, hands-on problem-solving, and work onsite with engineering and test teams to support rapid propulsion development.
Required qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or related field; experience developing user-facing software applications related to networking, hardware control, and data acquisition; and 2+ years of demonstrated proficiency with Python or an object-oriented programming language with hands-on experience operating the software.
