Piston Engine Test and Validation Engineer Job Description;

• Will be responsible for power and torque measurements of piston engines on the dynamometer,
• Will perform testing and validation on piston engine subsystems (oil pump, water pump, alternator, etc.),
• Will be responsible for the theoretical design of test rigs required and overseeing their implementation,
• Will prepare procedures before testing and perform reporting after testing,
• Will be involved in identifying and procuring sensors and adapters needed during the test process,
• Will conduct literature research for international test standards.

Turboprop Engine Test and Validation Engineer Job Description;

• Will be responsible for power and torque measurements of turboprop engines on the dynamometer,
• Will perform testing and validation on turboprop engine subsystems (oil pump, fuel pump, turbine, bearings, etc.),
• Will be responsible for the theoretical design of test rigs required and overseeing their implementation,
• Will prepare procedures before testing and perform reporting after testing.

Turbofan Engine Test and Validation Engineer Job Description;

• Based on the project dynamics, the following tasks will be assigned: 
  • Ensuring the setup, commissioning, and execution of required test infrastructure and systems for engine and component tests,
  • Determining, planning, extracting requirements, and creating test procedures for the tests to be performed,
  • Evaluating test results, analyzing the results, and ensuring reporting to relevant disciplines (Design, Analysis, Manufacturing, Assembly, etc.),
  • Planning and ensuring the execution of maintenance activities necessary for the continuity of the test systems' operations,
  • Designing component test rigs and carrying out test activities.
     

Preferably;

• Master's or Ph.D. degree from universities in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Automotive, Aerospace, or Aircraft Engineering departments,
• Experience with engine dynamometers or participation in related tests,
• Experience in the design or execution of tests for subsystems such as pumps, gears, etc.,
• Experience with data acquisition systems and sensors,
• Experience/competency in managing and reporting test processes,
• Experience or knowledge in the setup of compressor test rigs, combustion chamber test rigs, or test cells.
