Project Engineer, Aerospace ​/ Aviation ​/ Avionics

AI&T Project Engineer

Are you driven by the idea of pushing humanity further into space? Join a fast‑moving team building the next generation of planetary vehicles and space robotics. We’re developing advanced systems designed to support long‑term human and robotic operations beyond Earth—while also delivering real impact here on the ground.

We’re looking for an AI&T Project Engineer who thrives in a hands‑on, multidisciplinary environment. In this role, you’ll work closely with engineering, program management, and prototype development teams to coordinate system testing, support early‑stage hardware development, and help bring complex space systems from concept to reality.

• Lead end‑to‑end development and execution of spacecraft test campaigns, including schedule, budget, risk management, and coordination across engineering teams and test facilities
• Build and maintain detailed project schedules in MS Project; drive daily tasking for cross‑functional engineering teams
• Develop test methods, test plans, and GSE concepts for verification, validation, and rapid prototyping
• Own assembly and test processes for components, subsystems, and full vehicle integration
• Oversee planning and execution of environmental testing (vibration, static load, TVAC, acoustics, EMI/EMC)
• Support analysis of test data, generate test reports, and implement continuous improvements to test processes
• Lead Test Readiness Reviews (TRRs) and post‑test data reviews

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, Systems, Software, or a related engineering discipline
• 2+ years of experience in AI&T, systems engineering, or technical project/program management
• Experience planning and managing full environmental test campaigns (vibration, static load, TVAC, acoustics, EMI/EMC)
• Familiarity with NASA design, construction, and test standards
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex, multidisciplinary engineering efforts on tight timelines
• Strong communication and organizational skills; able to drive cross‑functional progress internally and externally
• Proficient in planning, scheduling, budgeting, and executing test programs using tools such as MS Project and Jira
• Must be a U.S. Person

• Experience with rapid prototyping and fast proof‑of‑concept development
• Background developing special test equipment or custom test setups
• Experience writing and executing demonstration and test procedures
• Exposure to the full lifecycle of NASA human‑rated spaceflight projects
• Experience in startup or commercial aerospace environments
• Strong systems engineering foundation, including requirements verification and test methodology
