About the Role
Fluidstack is seeking an individual to own the test program for compressors, taking them from initial testing to a validated performance map. This role involves specifying and setting up test cells, defining measurement chains and uncertainty budgets, and writing test plans with safety interlocks. The successful candidate will translate test data into design changes weekly, working closely with the design team.
Responsibilities
- Own the test program that takes the compressor from first spin on the stand to a validated performance map the design team can build on.
- Specify and stand up the test cells from an empty bay: motor test bench, high-pressure gas loop, load bank, and every instrument behind them.
- Define the measurement chain and the uncertainty budget, so a claimed isentropic efficiency or COP survives scrutiny from outside this company.
- Write the test plans, interlocks and abort criteria for a machine running at speeds and pressures where a failure is energetic.
- Turn test data into design changes on a weekly cadence, sitting inside the design loop rather than reporting into it.
Requirements
- Commissioned a test stand from a bare bay: instrumentation, calibration, shakedown, first article.
- Taken a machine to failure deliberately and had it instrumented well enough to know exactly why it failed.
- Owned an uncertainty budget and could tell someone what your measurement was actually worth.
- Written interlock and abort logic that kept people safe around stored energy, high pressure or high speed.
- Disagreed with a design team about what the data showed, and the data won.
- Carried a failure investigation to a root cause that changed the hardware, rather than to a plausible story that closed the paperwork.
Skills
- Propulsion and engine test (hot fire, spin pit, green run)
- Rotating machinery test (compressors, turbines, motor test benches)
- High-pressure gas loops and pressure-rated test rigs
- Data acquisition and rig control (LabVIEW, NI, PLC-based stands)
- Thermal and refrigeration performance testing (COP mapping, calorimetry)
Location
- Remote
Work Type
- Full-time
Experience Level
