Role Overview
Beehive Industries is looking for an energetic and driven candidate to design,
develop, tune and test gas turbine engines. The candidate should be someone who
is familiar with engine control system software, hardware, and how they interact
with the engine. This role will partner with various cross-functional leadership
on a daily basis facilitating development and delivery of the overall engine
control system. The candidate will also develop control system architectures,
engine controller schematics, and requirements in support of propulsion and
power products along with representing BHI Controls internally with Systems
Leaders and externally with suppliers, airframers, end users and governing
bodies.
What You'll Do...
* Execute the design, analysis, and evaluation of an aviation engine control
system using gas turbine control laws and functional modeling/simulation.
This includes setting software requirements, writing engine software
code/creating block diagrams, analyzing test vectors, predicting and
simulating engine operation with computer tools and component tests. Formally
issue the engine control software under configuration control for an engine
control system.
* Execute the design, analysis, and evaluation of the hardware for an aviation
engine control system. This includes setting engine control hardware
requirements, designing actuators and pumps for the engine control,
integrating and iterating with engine software design and analysis,
predicting and simulating engine performance or control logic with computer
tools and component tests, and formally issuing the hardware design for an
engine control system.
* Complete control law tuning in the time and frequency domain to achieve
system response and stability metrics. Assess and modify control system
models to match engine and actuator dynamics during testing.
* Experience designing, procuring, and validating electronic engine control
(EEC) and full authority digital engine control (FADEC) systems in addition
to sensors, fuel systems, lube components, and other auxiliary systems. Lead
software and hardware in the loop simulator design, commissioning and
integration testing. Integrate engine performance and control system models
into the hardware/software simulator to predict and validate engine
performance and operability. Support setting software requirements and
designs which enable the engine control hardware to meet requirements.
* Lead engine system or component test programs from a controls software and
hardware perspective. Set test objectives and limits, instrumentation and
test data requirements, and test planning to validate the engine design.
* Ensure the engine control system meets overall requirements from a design
perspective. Coordinate with performance, operability, transient, mechanical
and aero engineers to optimize the overall engine control system.
* Lead design reviews and coordinate with other disciplines in design,
performance, controls, stress and life, additive manufacturing, materials and
system analysis
* Provide timely communications on significant issues or developments
* Assure proper documentation of technical data generated consistent with
engineering best practices
You have...
* Bachelor's degree in Engineering from an accredited university or college
* At least 8+ years of experience in gas turbine engine control systems
* Strong understanding of engine control software tools (i.e., NPSS, Matlab,
Simulink, C/C++, etc.)
* Strong oral and written communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills
* Demonstrated problem solving ability and strong program leadership and
execution skills
* Proven self-starter and quick learner who can work in fast-paced
cross-functional teams
* The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security
clearance is required. U.S. Citizenship is required, as only U.S. Citizens
are eligible for a security clearance.
Nice to have...
* Advanced degree in Engineering from an accredited university or college
* Experience with Aero gas turbine engines
* Experience working with additive manufacturing technologies and familiarity
with design for additive manufacturing principles
* Experience working with additive manufacturing technologies and familiarity
with design for additive manufacturing principles
* Passion for additive technology and willingness to challenge current design
limitations to further exploit the benefits of additive capability
