 Summary
 
 
 
 
 We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join our specialized engineering team. This role is centered on the development of sophisticated software for advanced hardware control and lab automation, with a primary focus on aero-acoustic wind tunnel systems. In this role, you will use Python to design, build, and enhance control mechanisms for both a classic recirculating wind tunnel and a novel modular fan-array wind tunnel. This position offers a unique and exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of software development, robotics, acoustics, and aerodynamics.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Responsibilities
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, reusable, and reliable Python code for controlling complex hardware systems, including wind tunnel fan arrays and associated mechanical components.
 </li>
 <li>
 Implement and optimize control algorithms for real-time performance and precision, including PWM control for fan motors and actuators.
 </li>
 <li>
 Develop software to program and generate a variety of airflow conditions, including laminar, turbulent, gradient, and time-varying flows.
 </li>
 <li>
 Create and manage control interfaces for secondary systems, including robotic HATS (Head and Torso Simulator) movers, lift systems, and multi-channel spatial audio (HOA) setups.
 </li>
 <li>
 Integrate data from motion capture systems (e.g., Optitrack) for real-time tracking and system alignment.
 </li>
 <li>
 Develop and execute automated procedures for the calibration of wind speeds, acoustic sensors, and other critical measurements.
