  • Experience with advanced aerodynamic measurement techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).
  • Familiarity with GUI development frameworks for creating internal tools.
  • Experience with cross-platform software development (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Education/Experience:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
  • Proven professional experience in Python programming with a strong emphasis on hardware control, lab automation, or robotics.
  • Solid understanding of control systems theory, digital signal processing, and data acquisition principles.
  • Strong foundational knowledge of fluid mechanics, aerodynamic principles, and acoustic measurement techniques.
  • Experience working in a laboratory or R&D environment is highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated ability to debug complex, multi-component systems that include both hardware and software.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
