  • Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure tests align with mission requirements, schedules, and quality standards.
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives for test documentation, configuration control, and data management.
  • Must Haves:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience.

  • Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and test specifications.
  • Familiarity with data acquisition systems, instrumentation, and control systems.
  • Experience with scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working hands-on with hardware and in test lab environments.
  • Willingness to support off-hours or weekend testing when required.
  • Nice to Haves:

  • Experience with Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE).
  • Exposure to requirements verification and validation processes.
  • Experience supporting satellite or aerospace test campaigns, including environmental testing.
  • Experience with high-performance spacecraft cameras/optical testing.
