Course Overview

The Propulsion Technician is responsible for the testing or building function to support the development of propulsion systems such as internal combustion engines, hybrid and electric propulsion technology, and advanced control systems. To enable consistency and accuracy in build/test, measurement, methodology, and technology, the propulsion technician is responsible for allowing the execution of development plans which fulfill the internal customer’s and facility’s requirements for quality, cost, and time while adhering to safe systems of work and risk management. The propulsion technician carries out a range of specialist tasks in a controlled environment to develop, improve or create new propulsion technologies. In addition, the Propulsion Technician plays a proactive role in development build or test delivery, taking responsibility for creating, editing, first-line data analysis, and quality validation, providing an essential link between the propulsion development function and engineers.

The Propulsion Technicians are the source of technical leadership within their specific functional area. In addition, they will support and engage with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders such as engineers, suppliers, external agencies, and organizations to provide consistent build, development, and quality assurance of the propulsion system.
