Position Responsibilities:

• Assist with the definition and mapping of system-level test and verification requirements derived from customer, mission, and operational needs
• Support the integration of cross-functional parameters across electrical, mechanical, fluids, thermal, and software interfaces to verify baseline end-to-end compatibility 
• Participate in basic system analyses—including safety, reliability, maintainability, and testability parameters—to monitor baseline quality factors 
• Maintain verification tracking records using formal tools, logging requirements status, risk metrics, and readiness milestones under the guidance of senior staff
• Represent the test team locally on the floor, tracking day-to-day progress through hardware builds, testing sequences, and refurbishment cycles
• Execute pre-defined system test procedures, monitoring real-time telemetry limits, instrumentation setups, and standard acceptance criteria
• Draft initial technical descriptions and log documentation for hardware non-conformances, limit exceedances, or test anomalies to maintain data integrity
• Support failure investigation efforts, collecting test data and running initial troubleshooting scripts to isolate component-level operational anomalies
• Perform routine maintenance and updates to test infrastructure, instrumentation setups, and standard lab environments to support scheduled test cadences

 

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• 3+ years of experience in an engineering role
• Ability to analyze and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, and parts lists
• Strong skills in engineering analysis, requirements tracing, and technical communication

 

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Foundational exposure to system-level test, checkout, or verification procedures for space vehicles or space systems
• Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional and multi-discipline engineering environments
• Basic knowledge of aerospace avionics, electrical configurations, and standard lab test equipment
• Familiarity with fundamental troubleshooting, assembly, or evaluation techniques for electronic components
• Baseline scripting familiarity for running pre-written test automation or processing data logs (e.g., Python, Tcl/Tk, Perl)
• Basic exposure to configuration management and task tracking workflows (e.g., Git, SVN, PLM, Jira, MS Project)
