Electronics Test Engineer (will consider all senior levels)

Responsibilities

• Perform board-level bring-up, functional and design verification testing on spacecraft power electronics boards.
• Methodically troubleshoot issues using schematics, layouts, component data, and design intent.
• Analyze anomalies and drive root-cause identification (component failures, layout concerns, firmware interface issues, power sequencing errors, etc.).
• Use bench instrumentation to validate power rails, heater drivers, analog front ends, digital interfaces, and protection circuits.
• Execute tests in situations where procedures are evolving; develop and refine test steps as required.
• Document findings clearly and provide actionable feedback to design engineering teams.
• Support failure analysis, corrective actions, and re-testing as needed.
• Collaborate with software, systems, manufacturing, and other functional teams to ensure design maturity and production readiness.

Requirements

• BS Degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 8+ years of hands-on experience testing and troubleshooting complex electronic PCBs.
• Proven ability to isolate and diagnose hardware issues down to component-level root cause.
• Direct experience testing power electronics (e.g., DC/DC converters, power sequencing, protection circuits).
• Strong familiarity with standard bench instrumentation (oscilloscopes, SMUs, electronic loads, DMMs, power analyzers).
• Comfortable working onsite in a lab environment with flight hardware.
• Experience working with SMPS, Load Switches, Op-Amps and Comparators.
• Experience with FPGA, microcontroller, or microprocessor-based control and telemetry interfaces.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Strong proficiency interpreting and working directly from schematics and board layouts.
• Ability to work with incomplete test documentation and adapt procedures during bring-up.
• Experience testing or bringing up spacecraft power modules (PCU, PDU, BMS/BCPM, heater drivers) or similar flight-class power systems.
• Demonstrated expertise troubleshooting high-reliability power electronics, including nuanced failure modes (e.g., control-loop instability, sequencing transients, marginal component derating).
• Experience diagnosing complex mixed-signal interactions, such as analog front-end drift, ADC sampling artifacts, logic-level timing collisions, or firmware handshake issues.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC design practices and grounding/shielding techniques.
• Experience methodically troubleshooting and resolving issues and anomalies in accordance with root cause corrective action (RCCA) process.
• Experience working cross-functionally with design engineering to refine schematics, update component selections, or propose design corrections based on board-level findings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to generate clear design documentation and review materials.
• Able to distill complex technical data into digestible presentation material for customers and executive leadership.
