Job Title

Test Engineering Manager

Job Description

Notre Dame Turbomachinery Lab (NDTL) is a research and development organization focused on the execution of large-scale, high-energy, high-complexity testing supported by leading-edge computational and analysis capabilities. Located in a 25,000 square foot facility in downtown South Bend’s Ignition Park, NDTL partners with industry and government in the development of advanced technologies required for conventional and high Mach air-breathing propulsion, energy generation, advanced thermal management, and energy storage solutions.

The next generation of hypersonic applications, including Mach 5 commercial aircraft, single-stage to orbit (SSTO) vehicles, and strategic national defense applications, are based on high Mach air-breathing engines. NDTL’s infrastructure and staff expertise in high-energy, high-complexity R&D test programs make it a natural partner for the emerging challenges associated with this technology. Leveraging its capabilities and working with its R&D partners, NDTL has developed two new test facilities for high Mach airbreathing propulsion technologies.

The Test Engineering Manager will supervise a team of Test Engineers and will manage the resources for projects to accomplish the preparation and operation of high-power test articles, facilities, and related instrumentation. The successful candidate must be familiar with the applied research and testing environment. The Test Engineering Manager will lead the team of Test Engineers to effectively construct, troubleshoot, calibrate, and operate a wide range of instrumentation, software, and mechanical systems to safely acquire high fidelity test data. The Test Engineering Manager will be in direct contact with a variety of sponsors, internal and external engineers, program managers, and scientists. The Testing manager will be a part of the proposal preparation teams. The Testing Manager will plan test resources for all NDTL projects to ensure smooth and efficient project execution. The Test Engineering Manager will report to the Assistant Director, Engineering Operations.

Essential duties and responsibilities include:
  • Supervising, training, and mentoring the Test Engineers
  • Effort and resource coordination of the following activities:
  • Data acquisition and data quality verification
  • Design, calibration, and troubleshooting of instrumentation, software, and hardware in a test environment
  • Test planning and cost estimation
  • Facility/supply/resource management
  • Test process development and documentation
  • Test status reporting

The successful candidate will need the ability to multi-task and interact successfully with individuals with varying levels of experience while working closely with faculty, staff, and students. The candidate must be able to organize and prioritize work independently and meet critical deadlines in a fast-paced environment where creativity and flexibility is highly regarded. The ability to teach oneself and others new skills as required is also essential.

Notre Dame Research is committed to creating a community that fosters equity of experience and opportunity and ensures that members of all backgrounds feel safe, welcome, and included. We strive to achieve a culture of openness, autonomy, and belonging; making Notre Dame an exceptional place for our team, partners, and collaborators to flourish.
