Data Acquisition & Instrumentation Engineer

About Us

At Hathor, we're building the propulsion layer for the space industry. We specialize in design, development and production of liquid rocket engines for launch vehicles, in-space mobility and strategic applications. With capabilities spanning engine design, manufacturing, testing and qualification, our goal is to become a trusted engine supplier for the global space industry.

Our closed-knit team works across propulsion, turbomachinery, manufacturing, testing and business operations. The ambition isn't simply to build something first but to build systems that compete with the world's best in terms of technology, performance and reliability.

Everyone here has significant ownership and responsibility. You’ll work directly on meaningful problems and see your work shape what we build. We hire carefully because every addition to the team matters. 

The people we bring on today will define the company we become tomorrow.

This role supports live rocket engine testing.
You will own the integrity of the data we make decisions from.

You will:

• Design, develop, and maintain data acquisition systems (LabVIEW or equivalent)
• Configure and manage DAQ hardware (NI or similar platforms)
• Build real-time data logging, processing, storage, and reporting pipelines
• Integrate, calibrate, and validate sensors (pressure, temperature, load, flow, strain, etc.)
• Implement signal conditioning, filtering, and noise mitigation strategies
• Ensure synchronization across high-speed, multi-channel data systems
• Troubleshoot instrumentation, DAQ hardware, wiring, and grounding issues
• Support live hot-fire tests and post-test data analysis

We expect:

• Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or related field
• Strong working proficiency in LabVIEW or equivalent DAQ platforms
• Solid understanding of sensors, calibration procedures, and signal integrity
• Knowledge of grounding, shielding, and electrical noise control
• Experience with high-speed or multi-channel DAQ systems
• Ability to diagnose issues quickly in a live test environment
  
  

This is not a backend software role.
The quality of our propulsion decisions depends on the reliability of your instrumentation.
