Sr. Integration & Testing Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Integration and Test Engineer specializing in testing spaceflight hardware systems and Electrical Ground Support Equipment (eGSE). As a crucial member of the engineering team, you will lead the integration and testing efforts for cutting-edge spaceflight systems, ensuring their functionality, reliability, and performance in challenging environments. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, systems engineering, and manufacturing, to develop and validate innovative technologies that enable the success of space missions.

Responsibilities

• Lead the integration of complex spaceflight hardware systems, subsystems, and components, ensuring compliance with interfaces, design specifications, and requirements.
• Define and execute detailed integration plans and processes to ensure seamless assembly and operation of mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems.
• Develop comprehensive test plans, scripts, procedures, and verification strategies for spaceflight hardware and eGSE across various stages of the product lifecycle.
• Conduct and oversee environmental tests, functional tests, acceptance tests, qualification tests, and performance evaluations in accordance with industry standards.
• Lead fault isolation and troubleshooting activities to identify and resolve complex system-level issues.
• Specify, design, and validate eGSE required for the integration and testing of spaceflight hardware, including power systems, communication interfaces, and automated test systems.
• Ensure hardware and software elements of eGSE meet mission requirements and provide reliable support for ground and flight testing.
• Analyze test results, generate detailed technical reports, and provide feedback to engineering and design teams for iterative improvements.
• Present findings and recommendations effectively to internal and external stakeholders, including customers and leadership.
• Ensure all testing and integration activities comply with industry regulations, standards (e.g., NASA, ESA, and other relevant agencies), and company processes.
• Maintain meticulous documentation of system design, integration processes, test procedures, test data, and reports.
• Engage Program Management, other functional engineers, and technicians in integration and testing activities.
• Collaborate across engineering teams, fostering a culture of innovation, rigor, and teamwork.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree (Master's preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in system-level integration, testing, and verification of spaceflight hardware or other complex aerospace systems.
• In-depth knowledge of space hardware systems, including propulsion, avionics, structures, power systems, and thermal control.
• Proficiency in developing, validating, and operating Electrical Ground Support Equipment (eGSE), including hardware/software integration.
• Strong understanding of environmental testing standards and processes, including thermal vacuum, vibration, shock, EMI/EMC, and acoustic testing.
• Proven expertise in troubleshooting and root cause analysis for complex systems.
• Familiarity with industry standards and regulations for spaceflight systems (e.g., NASA, ESA, ISO, MIL-STD).
• Hands-on experience with test automation tools, data acquisition systems, and analytical software (e.g., MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python).
• Excellent technical documentation and communication skills.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a TS clearance.

BS 5-7 Years, MS 3-5, PhD 0-2 years of relevant experience.
