Redwire Space Missions is looking for an Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) Test Engineer who will support Engineering and Program Management with the execution of development and flight test activities. The role involves design, development, integration, and execution of electrical test systems to support spacecraft integration and test campaigns. You will work closely with systems engineering, avionics, software, and integration teams to deliver reliable EGSE solutions for spacecraft programs.

• Design, develop, and maintain EGSE hardware and software to support spacecraft integration and test.
• Develop test system architecture including power distribution, signal conditioning, and data acquisition.
• Implement test automation frameworks and scripts for spacecraft checkout and validation.
• Support spacecraft and payload electrical integration, test campaigns, and anomaly resolution.
• Design and execute hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations and interface emulators.
• Prepare test procedures, participate in Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs), and document test reports.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (systems, mechanical, software, I&T) to ensure test coverage.
• Maintain compliance with aerospace quality, safety, and configuration management standards.

• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related STEM discipline.
• 5 or more years of experience in spacecraft electrical integration, test, or EGSE development.
• Experience with test automation and scripting languages and software such as Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, TCL, C/C++.
• Hands‑on experience with power electronics, load emulation, and power supplies.
• Knowledge of spacecraft interfaces such as MIL‑STD‑1553, Space Wire, RS‑422, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, LVDS.
• Proficiency with electrical schematics, harness design, and test hardware integration.
• Familiarity with test equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power/network/spectrum analyzers.
• Experience supporting spacecraft testing in thermal vacuum, EMI/EMC, and vibration environments.
• U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a U.S. Government/DoD Security Clearance.

• Experience with EGSE design and operation for space vehicles.
• Strong troubleshooting, fault isolation, and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in cross‑disciplinary teams.
• Demonstrated experience leading EGSE development efforts from requirements flow‑down to certification, including requirements derivation, design and layout, schematics capture, parts release and procurement, assembly, test, and validation.
• Proficiency with spacecraft avionics systems, such as power, C&DH, communications, networking, and GNC hardware.
• Proficiency programming and implementing LabVIEW for maximizing test automation.
• Familiarity with configuration management tools (e.g., Git, SVN, JIRA, Confluence, DOORS).
