Test Engineer - Millennium Space Systems

Job Overview

At Millennium Space Systems
, a Boeing Company, we deliver affordable, high‑performance space systems. As a Test Engineer, you will develop manufacturing processes, build, test, and launch satellites while implementing test procedures for dynamic and thermal environmental testing of components, subsystems, and satellite products.

• Serve as the primary point of support for environmental test equipment and processes, and maintain responsibility over test execution for spacecraft hardware.
• Create spacecraft hardware test procedures, ensure test readiness, and unblock issues that arise during test campaigns (qualification and acceptance).
• Develop standard operating procedures for environmental test technicians.
• Establish and increase the efficiency of manufacturing test processes to maximize output, limit burden, and enable products to rapidly transition from engineering development to high‑rate production.
• Identify improvement opportunities and execute initiatives to maintain safe operations, ensure product quality, reduce lead time and labor hours, etc. through environmental test.
• Identify, implement, and qualify environmental test equipment and processes in support of high reliability and throughput production.
• Troubleshoot and identify the ultimate root cause of issues in environmental test processes (i.e. due to spacecraft hardware defects, test equipment anomalies, software problems, etc.), then implement permanent corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Enable production autonomy by challenging requirements, simplifying work processes, and implementing automation.
• Serve as the technical subject matter expert for environmental test processes and equipment.
• Develop test equipment automation to improve efficiency of environmental test processes, limit the likelihood of error, and maximize throughput.

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline or level‑equivalent years of industry experience.
• 3–5 years in a hardware test environment.
• Experience working with thermal chambers, TVAC chambers, and/or vibration shakers.
• Experience in authoring test procedures, implementing process improvements, and managing UUT non‑conformances.
• Excellent written, verbal communication, and interpersonal skills.
• This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. Security Clearance Post‑Start is required.

• 3+ years of experience in environmental testing, with a focus on vibration, thermal ambient, and thermal vacuum testing.
• Familiarity with SMC‑S‑016, GSFC‑STD‑7000A, or similar environmental testing standards.
• Experience in a high‑throughput manufacturing environment.
• Experience with PXI and other test instrumentation (i.e. thermocouples, accelerometers, DAQs, etc.).
• Experience successfully qualifying new products for space applications.
• Thorough understanding of root cause analysis and related analytical methodology (Five Whys, Fishbone/Ishikawa Analysis, 8D, etc.).

• Level 2: $80,750 – $118,750
• Level 3: $96,900 – $142,500

Applicants must be U.S. citizens and eligible for a security clearance. The position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.
