Senior Test Hardware Engineer - TeraWave

About the role

Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the avionics electrical software test strategy, test plan, and verification cross-reference matrix for a spaceflight component.
• Derive electrical test requirements from system specifications, ICD’s, schematics, and safety requirements.
• Cross-functionally coordinate to define interface test requirements.
• Own test procedure development, review, and approval workflows from initial draft through qualification and acceptance.
• Lead bench-level, vehicle level and pre-launch electrical test campaigns including power-on, functional verification, end to end harness continuity and EMI/EMC testing.
• Lead anomaly investigation and resolution for electrical test discrepancies; drive root cause analysis and corrective action through closure.
• Partner with manufacturing and production engineering early in the design cycle to ensure test infrastructures integrate seamlessly with production flow, tooling, and vehicle build sequence.
• Identify and drive test automation, instrumentation, and data acquisition infrastructure to reduce overall cycle time.
• Design electrical test and support equipment with production scalability in mind, ensuring test architectures support repeatable, high-throughput execution across multiple vehicles.
• Design electrical test interfaces for producibility, including standardized GSE connectors, modular test racks, etc., to support rate increases without redesign.
• Drive a production mindset into the electrical test program; track unit-to-unit test time, first pass yield, anomaly rate, as indicators of production readiness.

Requirements

• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.
• Experience with launch vehicles, spacecraft, or other highly integrated electrical systems.
• Background in electrical test planning.
• Experience integrating with GPS/GNSS simulators and assessing RF link performance in a test environment.
• Experience with automated test framework and scripting for electrical test sequencing and data collection.
• Background in Design for Testability (DFT) principles and participated in design reviews as a test team representative.
• Previous lead or management experience in a test or integration organization.

Skills

• Strong leadership and technical expertise.
• Ability to work collaboratively across functions.
• Experience with test automation and instrumentation.
• Understanding of DFT principles and design reviews.
