Control System Development and Testing for Electrified Aircraft Technology
role at
ORAU .
Organization National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Reference Code 0038-NPP-MAR26-GRC-Aero
How To Apply All applications must be submitted in Zintellect. Please visit the NASA Postdoctoral Program website for application instructions and requirements: How to Apply | NASA Postdoctoral Program (orau.org).
Application Deadline:
3/1/2026 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone.
A complete application to the NASA Postdoctoral Program includes: Research proposal Three letters of recommendation Official doctoral transcript documents
Description NASA supports the development of safer, more efficient, and higher performing commercial aircraft propulsion systems incorporating novel control strategies, actuators, and system architectures. Development and maturation of control algorithms is critical to achieving the potential benefits of these systems. NASA requires modeling and test capabilities to support this maturation, from control algorithm theoretical formulation and analysis to testing algorithms in real-time on representative target hardware or in system-in-the-loop environments. This Post‑Doc position will support the development and application of a system‑in‑the‑loop test rig for performing this control design maturation prior to the testing of these controllers on real experimental hardware. The work will also involve processing and disseminating relevant test data and results. Familiarity with control theory, electrical/computer engineering, embedded systems, and numerical methods is recommended. Familiarity or experience with turbine engine control and avionics systems is helpful.
