A Wind Tunnel Test Engineer is responsible for planning, conducting, and analyzing aerodynamic tests using wind tunnels to evaluate the performance of aircraft, vehicles, or other objects. They design test setups, install instrumentation, and collect data on airflow, forces, and pressures. Their work helps improve designs by identifying areas where efficiency, stability, or safety can be enhanced. Engineers in this role collaborate with designers, researchers, and other engineers to interpret results and refine prototypes.
As a Wind Tunnel Test Engineer, you will be involved in planning, setting up, and conducting aerodynamic tests on models or components within the tunnel. Your duties include configuring instrumentation, calibrating sensors, ensuring test safety protocols are followed, and collecting and analyzing complex data sets. You’ll collaborate closely with design engineers, researchers, and technicians to interpret results and troubleshoot issues in real-time. This role offers a dynamic blend of hands-on technical work and teamwork, helping advance the development of vehicles, aircraft, or other products requiring aerodynamic evaluation.
Wind Tunnel Test Engineers require a strong background in aerodynamics, mechanical or aerospace engineering, and data analysis, generally supported by a relevant engineering degree. Expertise with wind tunnel instrumentation, control systems, CAD software, and data acquisition tools is essential, and familiarity with industry standards or certifications such as ASME may be beneficial. Excellent problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and clear technical communication distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies enable precise and reliable testing, informed data interpretation, and effective teamwork in delivering insightful aerodynamic analyses.

Summary:
Polaris Sensor Technologies is seeking an Aero-Optics Engineer to support multiple efforts in the nation's missile defense capabilities including Golden Dome. This position includes developing optical instrumentation for integration into one-of-a-kind hypersonic wind tunnel test facilities and flight test vehicles. While direct experience with aero-optics instrumentation, wind tunnel testing, or data analysis and modeling would be a plus, we are seeking self-motivated candidates with experience and capability in the areas listed below. This position will involve significant hands-on laboratory work. This position involves interaction with team members and requires experience with optical analysis, including a solid physical optics background as well as geometrical optics understanding. Applicants should be confident in laboratory skills involving optical systems integration, assembly, setup, calibration, and operation. A successful applicant is able to work well in teams, is eager to learn, and is able to clearly communicate and document their work. Mid-level candidates will contribute as key technical team members, and more experienced candidates may be considered for project leadership opportunities.
