Who We Are:

The Spacecraft Development Department is a multidisciplinary team of engineers, program managers, technologists and technicians to develop spaceflight missions, spacecraft, spacecraft avionics systems, spacecraft payloads, and lighter than air systems.

Objectives of this Role:

• As a Spacecraft/Space Hardware Electrical Test Technologist, you will own the verification of critical electrical systems for NASA and DOD space missions.
• Reporting to the Electrical AIT Manager, you will develop and execute integration and test procedures, ensuring complex hardware and software meet mission requirements from the component level through pre-launch.
• You will be responsible for identifying and resolving issues, collaborating with engineering and project teams to deliver mission-ready spacecraft.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with System Engineers to develop test procedures, workflows, and work instructions.
• Generate test scripts to automate complex test scenarios based on mission requirements.
• Develop troubleshooting procedures for anomaly resolution.
• Work in a lab/cleanroom environment with hardware, ground support equipment, and test equipment.
• Perform functional testing of electronic assemblies, up to full spacecraft systems and software, according to written test plans and procedures.
• Generate accurate, high-quality test reports.
• Meet regularly with project management and subsystem leads to provide test status updates and aid in planning as needed.

Requirements:

• Requires a Bachelors degree in Engineering Technology or related technology degree. 25 years of directly related experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
• Shift work required.
• 0-6 years years: Directly related experience in electrical assembly test and validation, preferably with Space hardware and exposure to telemetry processing software such as STOL scripting language.
• 0-6 years years: Experience using standard electrical test equipment, including but not limited to digital multi-meter, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, power meter. A plus would be experience with RF testing.
• Ability to read and understand electrical schematics to support troubleshooting of spaceflight hardware
• Strong computer skills including working knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, Matlab, and higher level programming languages such as C
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
