⭐Hey- Do you know Arkadia Space?🪐

Arkadia Space is an European company specializing in space propulsion, headquartered in Castellón, Spain. We develop innovative green propulsion systems for the in-space market. Our systems are already flying, and we are scaling rapidly.

We design, build and test real hardware contributing to some of Europe's most inspiring space programmes.

👨‍🚀About the Position🛰️

As a LabVIEW Engineer at Arkadia, you will play a key role in the development, integration, and validation of test systems for propulsion technologies, supporting both R&D and industrialization activities.

• Test systems development, designing and programming automated test benches using LabVIEW for propulsion systems, including data acquisition, control logic, and real-time monitoring.

• Instrumentation and integration, interfacing sensors, actuators, and control systems (pressure, temperature, flow, valves, etc.) ensuring reliable and accurate measurements.

• Data acquisition and analysis, developing robust data logging systems, processing test data, and supporting engineers in analyzing results and improving system performance.

• Control systems implementation, designing and tuning control loops (PID, sequencing, safety interlocks) for propulsion testing and fluid systems.

• Test operations support, collaborating closely with test engineers during setup, execution, and troubleshooting of test campaigns.

• System reliability and maintenance, ensuring stability, scalability, and maintainability of LabVIEW applications and test infrastructure.

• Documentation and standards, maintaining clear documentation of software architectures, interfaces, and test procedures to ensure traceability and compliance with internal standards.

What you'll need

• Degree in Engineering (Electronics, Industrial, Automation, or similar).

• 3+ years of experience developing applications in LabVIEW, ideally in test, automation, or control environments.

• Experience with NI ecosystem (PXI, CompactRIO, TestStand, VeriStand).

• Experience with real-time systems and FPGA programming.

• Strong understanding of control systems and signal processing.

• Experience integrating hardware components such as sensors, valves, and industrial communication protocols (e.g., CAN, EtherCAT, Modbus, TCP/IP).

• Ability to debug complex systems combining software and hardware.

• Advanced English (spoken and written).

• Ability to work hands-on in laboratory and test environments.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing organization.

Nice to have
