• Design, build, commission, and research and development rigs to characterize physical phenomena (e.g. velocity, pressure, shock, temperature, optical behavior)
• Select, integrate, and align optical and laser-based measurement systems together with the associated detection electronics
• Develop and integrate sensor, signal conditioning, and high-speed data acquisition chains
• Build and debug custom electronics or interface boards as required by specific experiments
• Define test plans, calibration procedures, and data analysis methods for each measurement campaign
• Operate R&D setups during test campaigns, including diagnostics, troubleshooting, and on-the-fly adjustments
• Analyse experimental data and correlate results with physical models or engineering predictions
• Document experiments, procedures, and results with the rigor needed for design decisions and qualification work
• Collaborate with propulsion, pyrotechnics, structures, and test teams to translate engineering questions into the right experimental approach
