Ares Industries is a defense technology startup aiming to be the weapons prime of the 21st century. We are focused on delivering cutting-edge missile systems and building the critical weapons that the U.S. and its allies need to prevent global conflict. Our team is a group of aerospace nerds and engineers who believe in the power of engineering to shape geopolitics. At Ares, you will work in a high-intensity, engineering-driven environment where rapid iteration, real-world testing, and mission impact take priority over bureaucracy.

Ares is seeking a Turbine Controls Engineer to develop fuel control, throttle actuation, and ignition systems for turbojet-powered missiles. This role will focus on real-time engine control, ignition sequencing, and fuel optimization to ensure precise engine performance and rapid startup capabilities. The ideal candidate has experience in control theory, real-time feedback loops, and avionics integration.

Key Responsibilities:

-- Design fuel injection systems for efficient combustion and controlled thrust output.

-- Develop electromechanical valves and flow regulators for throttle control and startup sequencing.

-- Implement real-time feedback loops for fuel mixture optimization and engine monitoring.

-- Integrate engine control systems with avionics and flight software.

-- Perform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to validate ignition timing and startup performance.

Qualifications:

-- 4+ years of experience in engine control systems, fuel delivery, or turbojet actuation.

-- Proficiency in control theory, feedback loops, and sensor integration.

-- Strong knowledge of electromechanical valves, fuel regulators, and ignition control.

-- Experience working with embedded systems, avionics, or real-time control software.

Preferred Experience:

-- Experience with military turbojet engines, UAV propulsion, or FADEC systems.

-- Hands-on experience in fuel control algorithms, throttle response tuning, and engine startup reliability.

-- Background in electromechanical actuation and real-time embedded control systems.
