You work hands on with design and test teams, translating engineering intent into reliable, safe, and high performing test site systems. With your experience and engineering instinct, you become the go to reference for everything fluid related, keeping tests running, risks controlled, and innovation moving fast.

At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

What You´ll Do

• Lead design projects of gaseous and liquid supply and exhaust circuits for test site (industrial gases as helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and liquids as kerosene, cold hydrogen, and cold nitrogen)
• Define fluid systems requirements from customers’ needs in consistence with other systems (mechanical integration, measurement and controls, safety)
• Generate Process & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) and justify the design choices considering applicable safety framework (including explosive atmosphere directives and cryogens risks)
• Select the relevant components considering project constraints
• Prepare and participate in design reviews
• Manage suppliers for procurement, manufacturing, integration, and testing
• Deliver technical documentation including design justification, commissioning plan, testing and operation procedures
• Prepare and participate in integration of the components (possibly hands-on work)
• Prepare, perform, and synthetize results from commissioning
• Prepare and participate in test risk analysis and test preparation
• Prepare, perform, and synthetize results from customer tests

Requirements:
What You´ll Need
