Electrical Test Engineer

An ambitious space program is building spacecraft that will push beyond Earth orbit and into the frontier of asteroid resource utilization. With rapid hardware development underway, the team is growing its electrical AI&T capabilities to power vehicle assembly, integration, and test operations.

We’re now hiring an EGSE Test Engineer to own the design, build, and operation of the electrical ground systems essential for spacecraft testing. This is a hands‑on, hardware‑focused role perfect for engineers who thrive in fast‑paced environments and enjoy building systems end‑to‑end.

You will take ownership of power, data, simulation, and control infrastructure used across AI&T and HITL/Flat Sat campaigns
. Expect deep involvement in hardware build‑out, troubleshooting, procedure development, and cross‑functional integration with avionics, software, and test operations teams.

• Own EGSE systems across AI&T, Flat Sat & HITL environments
• Design/build EGSE for ground power, CAN/Ethernet/RS-XXX data, load simulation
  , solar array simulation & RF support
• Lead integration, bring‑up, troubleshooting & maintenance
• Develop SOPs for EGSE use and ensure compatibility with spacecraft systems
• Work with software teams to integrate EGSE control interfaces
• Influence spacecraft electrical architecture
• Build AI&T harnessing & configurations for test campaigns
• Support powered testing & HITL procedures

✅
Desired Background:

• Proven EGSE design & operations experience in spacecraft/aerospace programs
• Strong hands‑on work with powered testing & HITL/Flat Sat environments
• Familiarity with spacecraft power, avionics & networking
• Experience with Python/Bash/Lua test scripting
• Proficiency with Altium, Solid Works, Linux & data bus tools
• BS in Electrical, Aerospace, Software Engineering, or similar
• 4+ years supporting flight/test programs

✨
Bonus: RF experience, solar array simulation, HITL hardware, Python/C test automation, or ground software development.
