Overview Engineer I
-IV: LabVIEW / DAQ Controls LOCATION: Cape Canaveral, FL JOB STATUS: Full-time CLEARANCE: BI investigation TRAVEL: Limited; as needed Must be US citizen Astrion is seeking an entry or mid-level Controls & Data Acquisition Engineer (Engineer I- IV) to support advanced In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) technology development efforts for future lunar and Martian missions.
The selected candidate will play a critical role in the design, development, integration, and testing of reactor and purification systems, with a strong focus on LabVIEW-based control systems, sensor integration, and high-quality data acquisition in harsh and extreme environments.
Key Responsibilities- Design, develop, and implement DAQ (Data Acquisition) and control systems using National Instruments LabVIEW or similar platforms
- Instrument ISRU reactor and purification systems with sensors capable of operating under extreme thermal, pressure, and environmental conditions
- Develop and implement closed-loop control systems for heaters, actuators, and other hardware components
- Integrate and command hardware including:
- Stepper motors and motor drivers
- Linear actuators
- Heating elements and control devices
- Acquire, process, filter, and log high-quality sensor data for analysis and reporting
- Develop and troubleshoot systems using common communication protocols (RS232, I2C, CAN, EtherCAT)
- Support system integration, checkout, and testing in laboratory and simulated space environments
- Develop test plans, procedures, and execution strategies for technology development and validation
- Analyze experimental data and generate formal technical reports, documentation, and publications
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including mechanical, chemical, and systems engineers
- Generate and maintain engineering drawings, primarily electrical schematics with some mechanical documentation Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline
- 1 to 7+ years of relevant engineering experience
- OR Master's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with:
- National Instruments LabVIEW (strongly preferred) or equivalent DAQ/control systems
- Demonstrated experience with instrumentation, including:
- Thermocouples
- Pressure sensors
- Limit switches
- Current and voltage sensors
- Experience developing and implementing data acquisition and logging systems
- Experience working with hardware control systems and actuator integration
- Familiarity with communication protocols such as RS232, I2C, CAN, and/or EtherCAT
- Experience developing and executing test plans and interpreting experimental results
- Proven ability to write technical reports and engineering documentation Preferred Qualifications
- Experience working with harsh or extreme environments (thermal, vacuum, cryogenic, or high-pressure systems)
- Understanding of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) concepts and challenges
- Familiarity with lunar regolith or planetary surface systems
- Experience supporting NASA or aerospace R&D environments
- Experience integrating hardware and software systems in testbeds or prototype systems
- Exposure to model-based design, controls theory, or real-time systems Work Environment
- Hands-on laboratory and test environment across multiple facilities
- Combination of hardware integration, software development, and experimental testing
- Collaborative, fast-paced R&D setting with evolving requirements and high-impact outcomes #CJ #LI-CK1
