Satellite Vehicle Test Bed Lead - TeraWave

Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To

• Lead the Design, development, build, integration and checkout of the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) Vehicle Test Bed (VTB)
• Define VTB requirements by working across multi-disciplinary teams to ensure VTB fidelity and interface definitions
• Own the hardware and software architecture of the VTB, including real time simulation infrastructure, emulators, and Electronic Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)
• Drive selection and integration of real-time simulation platforms ( e.g., Speedgoat, National Instruments, etc.)
• Maintain configuration control of all VTB hardware, software, and models.
• Plan and Execution HWIL test campaigns supporting program milestones.
• Define VTB Test Procedures and Processes with a focus on automation.
• Coordinate with flight software, systems engineering, and mission operations to ensure test coverage of nominal and fault scenarios.
• Track Open anomalies and drive closure with appropriate subsystem Responsible Engineers.
• Manage a team of engineers and technicians to build and operate the VTB
• Develop and maintain the VTB roadmap aligned with the vehicle development schedule
• Communicate test bed status, risks, and milestone readiness to program leadership
• Evaluate emerging simulation and emulation technologies for applicability to the test program
• Integrate Radio Frequency (RF) stimulation and receive equipment into VTB, inclusive of signal generators, spectrum analyzers, channel emulators, and antenna simulators to support GPS/GNSS, telemetry, and RF communication subsystem testing.
