Test Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop test plans, procedures, and readiness documentation for component, subsystem, and system-level testing, with clear traceability to requirements.
• Build and maintain test infrastructure — fixtures, data acquisition, automation, and the tooling that makes campaigns repeatable.
• Execute functional, environmental, and performance tests; collect and analyze data; and document results against pass/fail criteria.
• Lead anomaly resolution and root-cause investigations and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Serve as a technical point of contact for test activities in design reviews and major test events.
• Own the test strategy as the program scales toward flight demonstration and first operational systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, aerospace, or related).
• [Senior level only] 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Hands-on experience planning and executing test campaigns — environmental, structural, EMI/EMC, and/or functional.
• Strong data analysis and failure-analysis skills, with a systems-level view of how a test result maps back to requirements.
• Comfort with data acquisition, test automation, and scripting (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or similar).
• Clear technical writing and communication — your procedures and reports need to stand on their own.

Basic Qualifications

• S. person status required (see below).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with spacecraft, satellite, or other flight-hardware.
• AI&T.
• Familiarity with embedded systems, motor/actuator control, or sensor instrumentation.
• Knowledge of relevant standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810, GSFC-STD-7000 / GEVS, or equivalent NASA/DoD specs).
• Experience standing up a test lab or test infrastructure from scratch in a startup or small-team environment.
• Master's degree in engineering.
