You will contribute to diverse projects from cutting-edge satellite communication systems to advanced exploration ventures. Your expertise will have a direct impact on crucial missions, such as the development of the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) system, a high-capacity satellite communications backbone for the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS), the U.S. Navy's next-generation narrow band tactical SATCOM constellation using a cellular-style waveform to provide secure, global mobile voice and data, and Boeing Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS), which provides end-to-end engineering, integration, and sustainment services for satellite platforms, payloads, and ground systems across civil and defense space programs.

Position Responsibilities:

* Participate in the full lifecycle development of Special Test Equipment (STE) for power, digital, RF, and mixed-signal systems used in space applications: contribute to architecture, detailed circuit design, prototyping, integration, verification, and delivery.

* Be hands-on: perform and review detailed circuit designs (power supplies, MCUs, FPGAs, memory/logic, RF front ends, filters, amplifiers, mixers) and implement prototypes and test harnesses.

* Develop models and analyses to predict and validate system performance using SPICE, MATLAB/Simulink, ADS, or equivalent tools.

* Design, develop, and validate automated test software and data acquisition systems using LabVIEW, Test Stand, Python, C#, or equivalent.

* Support design reviews, design controls, configuration management, and execution of verification/qualification test plans to meet space qualification requirements; implement reviewer feedback and corrective actions as directed.

* Troubleshoot anomalies during integration, environmental testing, and production; perform root cause analysis and implement corrective actions in coordination with program leads.

* Recommend procurement needs and suggest test equipment purchases to meet technical objectives; assist with equipment selection and evaluation.

* Contribute technical input to proposals and capture activities, including scope definition, cost and schedule estimates, and risk analyses.

* Collaborate with engineers, technicians, and program leads; communicate technical status and risks to stakeholders when requested. This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at the listed location. Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
* This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance for which the US Government requires US Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. Top Secret/SCI clearance Post Start is required.
