Development Engineer - Data Analytics

About the role

Imagine being the bridge between fire and code between what happens in a rocket motor test and what our models believe is happening. We are looking for a Development Engineer dedicated to building advanced tools for test data analysis and internal model validation. This role is not a test engineering position; instead, it focuses on transforming raw test data into actionable insights and ensuring that analytical and simulation models accurately reflect real-world behaviour. You will work closely with propulsion engineers, analysts, and simulation teams to develop robust software frameworks that process, analyze, and interpret data from rocket motor tests. Your work will directly contribute to model credibility, performance prediction accuracy, and faster development cycles.

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

• Develop and maintain software tools to process, clean, and analyze rocket motor test data
• Design data pipelines and analysis workflows that convert raw sensor data into validated engineering metrics
• Build frameworks to compare experimental test results against internal analytical, numerical, and AI-based models
• Support model validation, calibration, and continuous improvement using test data
• Implement statistical analysis, uncertainty quantification, and error assessment methods to evaluate model accuracy
• Collaborate with propulsion, simulation, and systems engineers to define validation criteria and performance indicators
• Create Python-based libraries for data analysis, visualization, and reporting
• Automate recurring analysis and validation tasks to improve efficiency and reproducibility
• Document data processing methods, assumptions, and validation results to ensure traceability and long-term usability

Requirements

What You’ll Need

Who You Are
